Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and spinach, cooking until spinach wilts. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Make the White Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually pour in milk and cream, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with nutmeg (if using), salt, and pepper.
Assemble the Lasagna: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of white sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles, followed by a portion of the vegetable mixture, dollops of ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and white sauce. Repeat layers twice. Finish with a final layer of noodles, white sauce, and remaining cheeses.
Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
Serve: Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

For added crunch, sprinkle chopped walnuts or almonds over the pears before baking.
These baked pears can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or enjoy cold.
If you prefer, substitute the feta cheese with blue cheese for a stronger flavor profile.
