Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound Mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/4 cup Margarine, divided
  • 4 cup Shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup Chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup Flour
  • 2 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. 2
    Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente; drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
  3. 3
    In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of margarine over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until tender and liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Remove mushrooms and set aside.
  4. 4
    In the same skillet, add the remaining 3 tablespoons of margarine. Add shredded carrots and chopped onion; sauté for 5 minutes until carrots are tender-crisp.
  5. 5
    Reduce heat to medium-low. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute to remove raw flour taste.
  6. 6
    Gradually whisk in milk, ensuring no lumps form. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and bubbles, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. 7
    Stir the cooked mushrooms back into the vegetable sauce. Season with salt to taste.
  8. 8
    Spread a thin layer of the vegetable sauce on the bottom of a greased 13x9-inch baking dish.
  9. 9
    Arrange 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the remaining vegetable sauce over the noodles, then sprinkle with half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  10. 10
    Layer 3 more noodles over the cheese. Spread the remaining vegetable sauce over these noodles.
  11. 11
    If using optional cottage cheese or ricotta mixture, spread it over the sauce now.
  12. 12
    Top with the remaining 3 lasagna noodles. Pour any remaining sauce over the top.
  13. 13
    Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top layer.
  14. 14
    Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  15. 15
    Let the lasagna stand for 10 minutes before slicing to allow layers to set.
  16. 16
    Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
