Vegetable Mushroom & Mozzarella Lasagna
No-fuss dinners are what I’m known for, and this vegetable lasagna with creamy white sauce is delicious, filling and doesn’t take a lot of time to prepare.With layers of thick sage-seasoned white sauce, noodles, sliced crimini mushrooms, mozzarella and parmesan cheese, this homemade lasagna emerges from the oven after 40 minutes golden brown and bubbling.
I meeeeeeean, it’s pretty hard to resist lasagna, am I right? Especially when it’s an easy, vegetarian lasagna recipe that’s hearty, cozy, comforting, and really makes dinner feel special. I decided to dress up this lasagna just a little bit by using meaty mushrooms, warm sage and creamy cheese sauce that takes this to a whole new level. Say hello to this Mushroom Sage Lasagna and try not to lick your screen.
One of the things I love about lasagna is that it can be assembled ahead of time, and baked off right before dinner. Easy dinner ideas are my jam. This vegetable lasagna with white sauce is a nice change of pace from my Vegetarian Spinach Lasagna and my Roasted Cauliflower Vegetarian Lasagna which both use the traditional red sauce.

Ingredients
- 1 pound oven ready lasagna noodles
- 3 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk)
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 16 ounces crimini mushrooms, sliced
- 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small saucepan add the milk and bring to a simmer.
- In a separate large saucepan heat 6 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the flour, whisking constantly until the flour is mixed in.

- Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish and begin to layer the ingredients starting with a light layer of the sauce on the bottom of the dish. Add a layer of noodles, a little more sauce, then mushrooms, a little mozzarella and parmesan. Repeat layers, finishing with the cheese on top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until cheese is melted and the top is slightly browned.
This recipe is a hidden gem! I make a lot of recipes from here and just stumbled upon this lasagna. It is soo good and easy! The sauce is so tasty. I added spinach which was a nice touch. The only problem I ran into was I used Jovial gluten free oven ready lasagna and the noodles were still a little hard, not sure how to avoid that. But loved it!
Such an odlie but goodie! Glad you loved it!
