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

 Cook lasagna in plenty of boiling water for 8 to 10
 minutes.  Drain and rinse in cold water.

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

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

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