Ingredients
1 ounce dried porcini or shiitake mushrooms (about 1 cup)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 shallots or 1 small onion, finely chopped
2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound cremini mushrooms
500g mixed mushrooms
12 lasagna sheets
250g ricotta cheese for creamy richness
200g mozzarella cheese for meltiness and a stretchy finish
500ml béchamel sauce to help bind the layers smoothly
400ml marinara sauce for a tangy, herbaceous note
2 cloves garlic to boost the overall aroma
1 tbsp olive oil for sautéing
Salt and pepper for seasoning to taste
Instructions
1-First, clean and slice the mushrooms, mince the garlic, and measure out cheeses and sauces to keep everything organized.
2-Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté garlic until it smells good, about 1-2 minutes.
3-Add the mushrooms and cook until they’re tender and any extra moisture is gone, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go.
4-Next, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish.
5-Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom to avoid sticking.
6-Layer lasagna sheets over the sauce, then add sautéed mushrooms, dollops of ricotta, a sprinkle of mozzarella, béchamel sauce, and more marinara.
7-Repeat these layers until you use up your ingredients, ending with mozzarella on top.
8-Tips for Even Cooking
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes to lock in moisture.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes until the cheese turns golden and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes after baking to make slicing easier, and add fresh herbs for extra flavor.
