Cooking Instructions:

1. Add your Mushrooms, rosemary and 1/2 Cup Cashews to food processor (blender if you don't have a food processor) and blend until broken down to desired size for meaty-like texture. 

2. Spinach Mushroom Filling: Add 2 Tbsp of olive oil to skillet on medium heat. Saute your mushrooms and cashew mixture until soft (3-4 minutes) but still hold texture. Add your Garlic powder and Italian seasoning followed by spinach and saute until wilted and mixed in. Remove from heat.

3. Mix in your lemon juice, sea salt (1/2 Tsp), and black pepper. Set aside.

6. Lasagna Assembly: Spread a layer of your lasagna sauce on the bottom of pan. Then top with a layer of noodles, followed by hummus, then the mushroom spinach filling and another layer of sauce. Repeat. Build to your desired amount of layers, leaving final layer with just noodles and sauce. Note: Depending on pan size and depth you can add or reduce the amount of noodles. Also don't shy away from breaking noodles to fit your pan.

7. Top Final layer with the Parmesan like topping and Italian seasoning.

9. After 40 minutes has passed. Remove the foil and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
