Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
- 500 grams Button mushrooms
- 200 grams Portobello mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme (leaves only)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (ground)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside on a baking sheet, separating the layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Clean and slice the button and Portobello mushrooms. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the mushrooms and thyme.
Cook the mushrooms for 8-10 minutes until they release their juices and become golden brown. Add salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking until the béchamel sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the béchamel with ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Stir well and set aside.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce on the bottom.
Layer 3 lasagna noodles on top, followed by a portion of mushrooms, a scoop of ricotta cheese, béchamel sauce, and a sprinkling of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of béchamel topped with mozzarella and remaining Parmesan.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
