8 servings


Ingredients
4 Tbsp butter, divided 60 mL
4 cups thickly sliced mushrooms 1 L
3 cups prepared tomato sauce, divided 750 mL
3 Tbsp flour 45 mL
2 cups milk 500 mL
¼ tsp ground nutmeg 1 mL
½  tsp salt 2 mL
2 cups ricotta cheese 500 mL
2 cups grated mozzarella, divided 500 mL
½  cup grated parmesan, divided 125 mL
1 Tbsp chopped fresh basil, or 2 tsp (10 mL) dried parsley 15 mL
15-18 oven ready lasagna noodles 15-18


Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large fry pan, melt 2 Tbsp (30 mL) of the butter. Add mushrooms and cook over medium-high heat until tender. Drain. Stir together mushrooms and 1 cup (250 mL) of the tomato sauce; set aside. To make the béchamel sauce, melt remaining butter in a small saucepan; add flour, stirring to blend well. Add milk, nutmeg and salt and cook over medium heat, stirring until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside. In a bowl, stir together ricotta, basil, 1 cup (250 mL) of the mozzarella, ¼ cup (50 mL) of the Parmesan and 1 cup (250 mL) of the béchamel sauce. To assemble, spread 1 cup (250 mL) of the remaining tomato sauce in the bottom of 13” x 9” (33 x 23 cm) lasagna dish. Arrange a layer of 5 or 6 noodles over sauce, overlapping slightly. Spread ricotta mixture evenly over noodles and repeat with another layer of noodles. Top with mushroom tomato layer and last layer of lasagna noodles. Spread with remaining tomato sauce, covering the noodles completely, and drizzle with béchamel sauce. Top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover with foil and bake for 35 min. or until noodles are tender. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 min.
