  • 2 cups mushrooms, thinly sliced (150 g)
  • 1/4 cup white wine (60 g)
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh chopped rosemary (3 g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped oregano (3 g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped thyme (3 g)
  • 4 tablespoons butter (57 g)
  • 1 onion, minced (220 g)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (15 g)
  • 1/4 cup flour (30 g)
  • 2 cups whole milk (460 g)
  • pinch cayenne
  • pinch nutmeg
  • 1/2 pound lasagna noodles, cooked (227 g)
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh mozzarella cheese (123 g)
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (56 g)

Instruction

  • In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage, and saute until cooked through, using your spatula to break it up into small pieces.
  • Add the mushrooms and saute until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Deglaze the pan with wine, and simmer until the liquid has been completely evaporated. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs, and reserve the mixture.
  • In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, 1 minute more.
  • Stir in the flour, and cook for a few minutes more. Gradually whisk in the milk – whisk constantly to be sure there are no lumps.
  • Cook the bechamel until its thick enough to coat the back of a spoon – season with salt, pepper, cayenne, and nutmeg. Remove form heat and set aside.
  • Begin layering the noodles in an individual loaf pan or a small casserole. Spread a layer of bechamel on top of the noodles, and top with a layer of the sausage-mushroom mixture.
  • Repeat until all the noodles and filling are used, finishing with a layer of bechamel on top. Top generously with grated cheese.
  • Bake the lasagna until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is golden, about 20-30 minutes.
