Menu Monday – Pesto Lasagna

pestolasagnaFresh garden flavors mingle with cheeses. This recipe is  especially delicious when using up end-of-the season basil, parsley,  spinach or kale, and tomatoes.  I have made this in the winter with frozen or canned pesto, and frozen veggies and it is still delicious.

12 dried regular or whole grain lasagna noodles
1 Cup purchased or homemade pesto
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 -15 oz container ricotta cheese
1- 8 oz pkg shredded Italian Blend or Mozzarella cheese (2 Cups)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

1/2 of an 8 oz pkg fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced OR
1 – 4 oz can sliced mushrooms
