Lasagna Stuffed Mushrooms Recipes

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.

LASAGNA STUFFED SHELLS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fill a large pot with lightly-salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in the shell pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has nearly cooked through but still very firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well and rinse with cold water.
• While the shells are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir the beef and onion in the hot skillet until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease; stir in the tomato paste, tomato sauce, salt, oregano, and garlic powder. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Spread half of the sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl. Stir in the cottage cheese, 3/4 of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Spoon the cheese mixture into the shells and set them into the prepared baking dish. Once all the shells have been filled, pour the remaining meat sauce over the shells and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the shells are hot in the center and the mozzarella cheese is melted and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.

LASAGNA-STUFFED PEPPERS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Cut the top off of each pepper and remove the seeds. Transfer to a square baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes, to soften.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot, or dutch oven, over medium high heat. Add the onion and garlic, cook until softened.
• Add the ground beef, sausage, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat has browned on all sides.
• Add the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Bring the mixture to a light simmer. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, remove from heat and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine ricotta, parmesan, basil, and egg. Mix together with a fork, set aside.
• Remove the peppers from the oven, drain any excess water that accumulated inside.
• Cut the lasagna noodles into quarters and set aside.
• Assemble the lasagna in each pepper. Alternate 2 tablespoons of sauce, 1 lasagna noodle, 2 tablespoons ricotta mixture, and 1 lasagna noodle until the peppers are full. Top with mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
• Rest for 10 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!
