Mushroom and Spinach Lasagna

First the basic lasagna recipe:
1 package lasagna noodles
1 egg
Basil (to taste, I do a lot of to taste recipes, sorry!!)
16oz container of ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cups shredded parmesan cheese
Di Capua Family Marinara Sauce

Boil the noodles according to directions on the box. Combine ricotta cheese, 1 egg and basil to taste. Once noodles and marinara are done, put a couple spoonfuls of marinara down on the very bottom of a 9x13 baking dish, layer noodles, ricotta mixture, mozzarella, parmesan, sauce, then noodles, cheeses, sauce... and keep going til you've topped it off making sure to seal the top with a layer of noodles sauce and mozzarella.

Now for the variations, you can fry up hamburger and add it to the sauce, Italian sausage (just make sure to remove the casing before frying), and finally mushroom and spinach: I bought a package of pre-rinsed spinach and a package of pre-rinsed sliced mushrooms I added them to the sauce til the mushrooms were tender and the spinach was wilted. Just make the lasagna like the basic recipe, except your's will be more interesting because it'll have some yummies in the sauce!
