Simple Lasagna

Ingredients 

1 Tbsp coconut oil
2 cups mushrooms, sliced
2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 15oz container part skim ricotta cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp salt
3 cups pasta sauce (see my homemade recipe here)
1 cup water
12 oven ready lasagna noodles

Preheat the oven to 350*

In a medium pan, heat coconut oil on medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until tender, add pasta sauce and water. Simmer for 5 minutes.

While mushrooms and sauce is cooking, combine 1 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, ricotta, parsley, egg and salt in a medium bowl.

In a 13x9 inch baking dish, put 1 cup pasta sauce. Add 3 lasagna noodles, followed by 1/3 of cheese mixture and 1 cup pasta sauce. Repeat 2 more times. Finish with 3 noodles, remaining pasta sauce and remaining mozzarella cheese.  Cover with foil and bake for 60 minutes, removing foil after 45 minutes.  Let sit for 15 minutes before serving.
