How to Make Sausage Potato Lasagna

Brown the sausage: In a large skillet, cook the Italian sausage and sliced mushrooms over medium heat until the meat is browned and the mushrooms are softened. Drain off any excess grease and set aside.
Prepare the potatoes: Place the thinly sliced potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the potatoes are crisp-tender but not falling apart. Drain well and set aside.
Make the spinach mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped spinach, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, and egg. Mix well and set aside.
Prepare the white sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and optional nutmeg until well blended. Gradually whisk in the milk, bringing to a simmer. Cook and stir for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat.
Assemble the lasagna: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 11x7 inch baking dish. Layer half of the potatoes in the prepared dish. Top with half of the spinach mixture, half of the sausage mixture, half of the white sauce, and half of the mozzarella cheese.
Add remaining layers: Repeat layers with the remaining potatoes, spinach mixture, sausage mixture, and white sauce.
Bake: Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and heated through.
Finish & Serve: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top. Bake, uncovered, for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
