Add mushrooms and garlic and continue to cook until the mushrooms have released their liquid, 2 or 3 minutes. Add wine and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in chopped tomatoes (include liquid), sun-dried tomatoes and thyme. Bring to a simmer then reduce heat to low and simmer until thick. Season with salt and pepper.
3. To make the white sauce heat remaining oil in a heavy pan over low heat. Add flour and whisk constantly until the flour begins to turn a light brown. Remove pan from heat and whisk in cream. Season with nutmeg and a pinch of salt. Remove from heat and set aside.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the grated Parmesan cheese over the spinach and top with another layer of the pasta. Repeat 5 times.
