Pea And Mushroom Lasagna Ribbons Recipes

MEATY MUSHROOM LASAGNA

Steps:

• Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Set aside.
• Sauce: In a 2-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually add the warm milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce is thick and smooth, about 8 minutes (do not allow the mixture to boil). Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheeses and nutmeg. Stir until the cheeses have melted and the sauce is smooth. Add the prosciutto, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper.
• Filling: In a large skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook, stirring frequently until soft, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms, rosemary and thyme and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and the liquid has evaporated, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the noodles and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• To assemble the lasagna: Ladle 1/2 cup of the sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Lay 3 pasta noodles on top. Spoon 1/2 of the mushroom mixture on top of the pasta. Ladle 1 cup of the sauce over the mushroom mixture and lay 3 more noodles on top. Repeat the layers using the remaining mushroom mixture, 1 cup of sauce and the remaining 3 noodles. Top with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with 1 cup smoked mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Drizzle the top with olive oil and bake until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Cut the lasagna into wedges and serve.

STUFFED MUSHROOM LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Brush the mushroom caps with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, season both sides with salt and pepper and put on the prepared baking sheet with the interior sides down. Bake until shriveled and the liquid evaporates, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Leave the oven on but lower the temperature to 375 degrees F.
• Add the cremini mushrooms, garlic and shallots to a food processor and pulse until the mixture is coarsely ground. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushroom mixture and stir. Cook, stirring every couple minutes, until the mushrooms begin to caramelize, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Deglaze the pan with the Marsala and add the thyme. Set aside to cool.
• Once cool, whisk together the mushroom mixture, ricotta and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Fill each mushroom cap evenly with the mixture.
• Spray the bottom of a 9-by-14-inch baking dish with cooking spray; spray one side of a piece of aluminum foil with the spray.
• Ladle a thin, even coating of the Lightened-Up Bechamel into the prepared baking dish. Top with 4 lasagna noodles, a third of the spinach and another layer of bechamel. Next, place 6 stuffed mushrooms evenly in 2 rows. Add a third of the sliced mozzarella followed by a layer of bechamel. Repeat with 4 more noodles, aother third of the spinach and then some bechamel. Place the remaining 6 stuffed mushrooms evenly in 2 rows and top with another third of the mozzarella and then some bechamel. Add the remaining noodles and spinach, then finally another layer of bechamel and the remaining mozzarella on top.
• Bake immediately, as the more time this sits, the more the shape and structure of the lasagna is compromised. Cover with the sprayed aluminum foil piece and bake on the middle rack until golden brown and bubbly, about 35 minutes. If you want extra golden brown cheese, place the lasagna in the broiler for a couple of minutes. Let the lasagna rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing with a sharp knife and scooping with a spatula. Garnish each slice with basil.
• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, whisking until smooth, and cook for about 1 1/2 minutes. Slowly add the milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a low simmer and add the Parmesan, nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil with 1 tablespoon salt and a splash of oil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain and set aside.
• For the white sauce, bring the milk to a simmer in a saucepan. Set aside. Melt 8 tablespoons (1 stick) of the butter in a large saucepan. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Pour the hot milk into the butter-flour mixture all at once. Add 1 tablespoon salt, the pepper, and nutmeg, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring first with the wooden spoon and then with a whisk, for 3 to 5 minutes, until thick. Set aside off the heat.
• Separate the mushroom stems from the caps and discard the stems. Slice the caps 1/4-inch thick. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan. When the butter melts, add half the mushrooms, sprinkle with salt, and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and they release some of their juices. If they become too dry, add a little more oil. Toss occasionally to make sure the mushrooms cook evenly. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms and set all the mushrooms aside.
• To assemble the lasagna, spread some of the sauce in the bottom of an 8 by 12 by 2-inch baking dish. Arrange a layer of noodles on top, then more sauce, then 1/3 of the mushrooms, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan. Repeat 2 more times, layering noodles, sauce, mushrooms, and Parmesan. Top with a final layer of noodles and sauce, and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan.
• Bake the lasagna for 45 minutes, or until the top is browned the sauce is bubbly and hot. Allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes and serve hot.
