Add onions, celery, carrots and cook stirring until the onions have softened. Add mushrooms and garlic and continue to cook until the mushrooms release their liquid, 2 or 3 minutes. Add wine and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in chopped tomatoes and their liquid, sun-dried tomatoes and thyme. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thick.

To assemble, spread 1/2 cup of the mushroom sauce in the bottom of a pan. Arrange a layer of cooked noodles over and spread with another 1/2 cup of the mushroom sauce. Arrange a single layer of the spinach leaves over the sauce and drizzle them with 1/3 cup of the bechamel sauce. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese over the spinach and top with another layer of the noodles. Repeat this five more times. Bake 40 minutes.
