 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  8                    Lasagna strips
  1 3/4   lb           Spinach
  1       t            Margarine
  1       t            Marjoram
 12       oz           Ricotta cheese
                       Salt & pepper
  6       oz           Mushrooms
  1       oz           Margarine
    1/4   pt           Vegetable stock
  1       t            Soy sauce
  3       oz           Cheddar, grated

 Preheat oven to 400F.  Cook lasagna in plenty of
 boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes.  Drain & rinse in
 cold water.

 Prepare the spinach by washing it in several changes
 of cold water. Place in a heavy bottomed pot & cook
 gently without adding more water, for 6 to 8 minutes.
 When cooked, strain off excess water & chop finely.
 Return to the pot & season well.  Put pan on a gentle
 heat, add margarine & marjoram, stir & then remove
 from heat. When the spinach has cooled, mix in the
 ricotta.  Check the seasoning.

 Now prepare the sauce.  Saute the sliced mushrooms in
 margarine, reduce heat & continue to cook for 10
 minutes in a covered pot so that plenty of juice is
 extracted. Add the stock & simmer for another 5
 minutes. Puree in a blender for a few seconds.  Add
 soy sauce & season to taste.

 Lightly oil a square 3 pint dish, spoon in some of the
 spinach, cover with 2 or 3 pieces of lasagna & then a
 coat of the mushroom sauce. Repeat, ending with the
 mushroom sauce. Sprinkle with the grated cheese. Bake
 for 35 to 40 minutes.  Serve immediately.
