Healthy Kale and mushroom Lasagna

Ingredients

• 9 lasagna noodles (no-boil or cooked according to package instructions)

• 1 bunch (about 6 cups) kale, destemmed and chopped

• 2 cups mushrooms, sliced

• 1 cup feta cheese

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

• 1 egg white

• 1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Kale and Mushrooms:

   • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and mushrooms, sautéing until the mushrooms are tender and their liquid has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes. Add the kale and cook until wilted, about 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Make the Cheese Filling:

   • In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of the mozzarella, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, and the egg white. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.

4. Assemble the Lasagna:

   • Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place a layer of lasagna noodles on top of the sauce. Spread half of the feta cheese and half of the kale and mushroom mixture on top. Cover with a layer of marinara sauce. Repeat these layers one more time. Finish with a final layer of noodles, the remaining marinara sauce, and top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

5. Bake:

   • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

6. Serve:

   • Let the lasagna sit for 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy!
