I made this for a vegetarian dinner party. I have prepared all the ingredients before and just popped it into the oven as the guests arrived. It was delicious - the parmesan crust and all the cheeses, portobello mushrooms and spinach - perfect. Tasted even better the day after. I made it again with Creme Fraiche (with nutmeg) instead of making white sauce from scratch and a perfect substitute. Took less time, but tasted equally good - highly recommend.
Different..

I'm not sure if I followed the recipe correctly..My understanding was that the ricotta mixture was the last layer, and that's what I did. In my opinion, it was WAY to much cheese(on the top), I had a bunch left over and it still seemed like it was too much. I've never made a white-sauce lasagna and was worried about it being bland, so I made 1/2 of the lasagna with some (chicken) sausage (as someone else recommended), and found that it overpowered the flavor of the mushrooms and spinach. Something is missing, but I'm not sure what..It tasted okay, but I wouldn't make it again.

My sister initially gave me the recipe but she hadn't made it so I made it for my employer and we loved it! She now has me make it for dinners that she gives to her friends who may have had a baby or for other occasions. It does take a little time but I have found that a great time saver is using the flat sheet lasagna noodles which don't have to be pre-cooked. Also make a few recipes at a time and freeze them for those unexpected guests or when you need to give an impressive dinner but don't have the time. Enjoy!!!
Just fabulous!!!

Very similar to one of my lasagna recipes. I do use ricotta in my filling usually along with the other cheeses. I also use this filling in my cannelloni, manicotti, lg shells; as well as to stuff veggies. The additon of nutmeg is the the'secret' to an authentic Bechamel! This recipe is very versatile. Bravo Emeril - good Italian recipe!
Awesome vegetarian lasagna

THIS IS A VERY GOOD RECIPE. THE ONLY CHANGE I MADE WAS MIXING THE SPINACH WITH THE RICOTTA MIXTURE, AND IT CAME OUT EXCELLENT. TRY IT.

The recipe turned out great, but I found making the bechamel sauce a little tricky. Note to other amateurs who try it: You have to add the milk VERY slowly - as in a couple tablespoons at a time! It also took longer for the sauce to thicken than the cooking times in the recipe seemed to indicate. The results was delicious though!
Great rich, lasagna

I liked this a lot but felt like the mushrooms really cooked down, and it was more of a spinach and cheese with a hint of mushroom lasagna. Still great, but will add more next time.

This one was really good. It did create a lot of dirty pots between the bechemel sauce, boiling pasta, boiling spinach, strainer, yada yada yada. But it was very good so it was worth the work. It had such good taste and re-heated wonderfully. I was a little hesitant when I plopped it in the oven cause there was no color to it, just whiteness. When I served it to my boyfriend he was turned off by the color. But once he got over the look and tried it, he loved it so much. So the times I've made it since then, I just throw some parsley on top to give it some green coloring. Oh also, I hate mushrooms so I left them out of the recipe and it was still yummy.
Wonderful

This was absolutely delicious!!! I read the other reviews before making it & I added one extra portabello & 2 packages of spinach. I didnt have enough spinach & mushrooms to make all the layers the recipe calls for, but it still turned out great. Next time I probably add 3 more portobellos & 3 or maybe even 4 of the spinach. Although I had never made a roux or a bechamel sauce before I didnt find them difficult at all. When adding the milk to the roux for the sauce I just poared it slow & steady while wisking continuously at the same time. I did the same with the parmesan and it came together absolutely perfect. I will definiatally make this again, although be ready to wash dishes, you will use alot!
Delicious but Time Consuming

The lasagna turned out great and my guests enjoyed it. I would have added more mushrooms and make sure that you strain the spinach really well to get out all of the excess water because I had to pour out water after it was done baking. This did turn out to be more prep work than I expected/wanted, and this recipe created more dirty pots, etc. than anything else I have ever made. Because of that I doubt I will make it again for a long time. But, it was still cheesy and delicious and I actually thought it tasted better when I reheated the leftovers.
Very Good !

I thought this was a very tastey lasagna. It did take a lot longer to prepare than I expected, but worth it. I would put in more mushrooms...almost double what is in the recipe. I couln't taste the mushrooms with the amount in the recipe.

This dish was sooo good. It is great to eat a different version of lasagna, boyfriend asked me where the tomato sauce was :). It is pretty simple to make, I added some nutmeg to the bechamel, and instead of adding provolone in the cheese mixture, I added layers of provolone.. Will make again!
wonderful

Wow, this recipe was simply amazing. The whole pan was gone within a few hours! Just a few tips--the bechamel sauce took longer than 2-3 minutes to thicken. Also, let the ricotta cheese come to room temp., or it makes it hard to spread the cheeses.
delicious!

I didn't have lasagna noodles, so I substitued penne and layered everything. I put more mushrooms and probably will put even more next time, along with extra spinach. WARNING: this is sooooo cheesy - a heart attack waiting to happen! I will probably cut back on the amount of ricotta next time.
Fabulous

I have several vegetarians in my family and am always looking for creative vegetarian dishes. This lasagna is absolutely one of the best vegetarian dishes I have ever tasted. It is delicious and gets better the next day. It was enjoyed by all at a recent family gathering, and it will be served when I entertain my extended family members at our annual reunion.

I found the amount of cheese to be excessive, so I decreased it and increased the amount of spinach and mushrooms to balance the dish more.

First time making it I made it with more cheese and shrooms (about 2x as much), served it with some extra sauce on top, and broiled it for about 3 minutes just to brown the cheese a bit. Everyone loved it. Instant crowd pleaser. Also served bread with soft butter mixed with fresh roasted garlic.
Excellent!

This has an awesome flavor, and is relatively easy for an Emeril recipe. I will increase the spinach and mushrooms a bit next time because there wasnt enough to complete the layers even when being very reserved with them. I also found that I only needed 1/2 lb of lasagne noodles.

To begin, it took me about two hours to do all the prep and pop this sucker into the oven. And it was a very busy two hours with up to 3 burners going (spinach, lasagna noodles, shallot / garlic / mushrooms). This was my first bechamel sauce too, and I had a little trouble getting the parmesan to incorporate smoothly. It was like a big stringy ball of parmesan in a milk soup. I wound up having to raise the heat a bit and continued stirring with a wisk and it eventually worked out fine. The end result was delicious and it's fabulous as a cold dish too - we've been eating the leftovers all week and I haven't minded a bit :)
