25 Reviews of Portabella Mushroom With Spinach and Feta Lasagna (Vegetarian)

KittenCal, you must have a bottomless supply of great recipes! This is another keeper (also note that this is a meatless recipe). I was a little bit concerned that the Feta cheese would be overpowering, but instead it added a nice robustness missing with ricotta. The portabello mushrooms added a welcome "meaty" texture. Several years ago I stopped pre-boiling my noodles (I skipped step 3), so to compensate for startine with dry lasagna noodles, I made some minor adjustments: 1. I used a 15 oz can of tomato sauce and added an extra 1/2 cup of water to the sauce. 2. I drained the spinach but did not squeeze it dry. 3. I baked it for 60 minutes before removing the foil. It came out perfect! Thanks for sharing!

    This was a good veggie lasagna recipe! I followed everything exactly. The only thing I will change next time is to cut the mushrooms into much smaller and thinner pieces. Also, I did not think the sauce was worth the extra effort. Next time I will use canned sauce. Thank you for the recipe!

    Bloody brilliant! I prepared this as directed. I used the no cook lasagna noodles,and was a little confused about the difference between tomato paste and tomato sauce. In Australia, tomato sauce is like ketchup so I didn't add that. I used 2 400 g cans diced tomatoes and as much tomato paste as called for. The mushrooms in this made it so meaty. The feta was so different and it was a lovely touch. Next time I would prefer to use fresh spinach, and would have done this time if it looked okay at the greengrocers. Thanks Kittencal for a fantastic recipe that I will make over and over.

    Absolutely wonderful! I followed other's advice and made extra sauce and since we are cheese lovers, I added a carton of Ricotta cheese to the cheese mixture - it was a big hit with the whole family. I highly recommend you try this one!

    I made this yesterday for a dinner party I catered. The vegetarians in the group were really impressed. Thank you for an excellent recipe. I'll have repeat customers thanks to this delicious recipe. MaryL

    This is so good! I skipped the directions for the tomato sauce and just used store-bought spaghetti sauce (I'm lazy). I have never liked lasagna before (I don't like crunchy things like onions). I will be making this dish regularly! Thank you!

    We really enjoyed this recipe, and the portabellos give 100% meaty satisfaction to this lasagne. For dietary reasons I used fat free cheeses and egg substitute without a problem. The sauce could benefit from a little wine, broth or water to thin it a bit and stretch it, as I too found myself a little short on the sauce. Great recipe Kitten, thank you for sharing.

    Wow! This was amazing! I thought the lack of ricotta or cottage cheese whould be strange in a lasagna, but no one even noticed it was missing! For the sauce, I used a 15oz can of sauce instead of the 8oz can, and it turned out great. I agree with some of the other reviews that the mushrooms are a great addition, and should not be skipped. I used two portabella mushrooms, which was a good amount. Yum!

    I tried it and it was excellent. I used white button mushrooms from Trader Joe's. I also used Trader Joe's spaghetti sauce and also their no boil lasagna noodles. I made no other changes and it came out fantastic. It also keeps very well as I made it on Wednesday and served it to guests on Sunday and everyone loved it. Thanks for posting!

    Awesome! The first time, I made this following the recipe to the letter. I liked it, but admittedly it was a little dry. Next time, to save time, I used a jar of Ragu instead of the sauce in the recipe, cut back the spinach to 6 oz., and added an extra cup of cheese, and it came out even better!
