SPINACH AND MUSHROOM LASAGNA

Steps:

• Stir the ricotta, spinach, mushrooms, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, combine the mozzarella and parmesan.
• Spread about 1/2 cup marinara sauce in a thin layer in a 6-quart slow cooker. Cover with a single layer of uncooked lasagna noodles (4 to 6 noodles), breaking them as needed to fit. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Top with about one-third of the remaining sauce, then sprinkle with about one-third of the mozzarella mixture. Repeat the layers (noodles, ricotta, sauce, mozzarella mixture). Top with the remaining noodles, then the remaining sauce and mozzarella mixture.
• Cover and cook on low, 4 hours. Uncover and let rest 15 minutes so the excess liquid is absorbed.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. To make the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, mushrooms and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in basil, oregano and nutmeg until fragrant, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper, to taste; set aside. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Spread 1 cup mushroom sauce onto the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish; top with 3 lasagna noodles, 1/2 of the ricotta cheese, 1/2 of the spinach, 1 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan.

HEALTHIER SPINACH LASAGNA WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350º F. Lightly oil a 13-inch by 9-inch baking dish.
• Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add onions and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally until onions become translucent, about 10 minutes.
• Add the garlic, spinach leaves and a 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring as needed, until the spinach is bright green and wilted. (Don't worry about the amount of spinach, it may look like a lot now, but as it cooks, it wilts down considerably. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may want to add the spinach in batches).
• In a medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese, eggs, a 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the pepper until well blended.
• Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce over the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange three noodles lengthwise and side-by-side to cover the bottom.
• Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with a third of the parmesan cheese and a third of the mozzarella cheese. Add half of the spinach mixture and dollop about a 1/2 cup of marinara sauce over the spinach.
• Add a second layer of noodles then repeat with remaining cheese, spinach and another 1/2 cup of sauce. Finish with a third layer of noodles and top with remaining sauce, parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.
• Loosely cover lasagna with aluminum foil and bake 30 minutes, uncover then bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and browned around the edges. For a cheesy golden brown top, slide the lasagna uncovered, under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes.

CREAMY SPINACH AND MUSHROOM LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9- by 13- by 1-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Set aside.
• For the vegetables: In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the mushrooms, onions, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and any liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated, about 20 minutes.
• For the sauce: In a heavy-bottomed 5-quart saucepan, bring the cream, milk and flour to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly for 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Add the Pecorino and the mozzarella. Whisk until the cheeses have melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the spinach, basil, garlic, salt and pepper.
• Add the mushroom mixture to the sauce and stir to combine. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Cut the Fresh Pasta dough in quarters and press flat. Run each piece of pasta dough several times through a pasta-rolling machine adjusting the setting each time until the pasta is about 1/16-inch thick. Cut the pasta into six 12- by 4-inch rectangles (reserve any pasta trimmings for another use). The pasta dough can also be rolled out by hand. Cut the chilled dough into quarters and using a rolling pin, roll out the dough until 1/8 to 1/16-inch thick.
• Spread 1 cup of the sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange 2 sheets of pasta on top in a single layer. Spread 2 cups of the sauce over the pasta sheets. Repeat the layers with the remaining pasta sheets and sauce, ending with the sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Drizzle with olive oil and bake until the filling is bubbling and the top is golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 20 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.
• Place the cake flour, all-purpose flour, egg yolks and salt in a food processor. Pulse to combine. With the machine running, gradually add the oil then 1/3 to 1/2 cup water until the mixture forms a dough (the dough should stick together if pinched between your fingers). If necessary, add additional water, 1 teaspoon at a time if the dough is too dry.
• Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Gather the dough into a ball and knead until the dough is smooth, 5 to 8 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

SPINACH AND MUSHROOM LASAGNE PIN-WHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Prepare the sauce. In a medium heavy saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk for 3 minutes. Increase heat to med-hi and whisk in the milk. Whisk for 2-3 minutes until bubbly and thick. Stir in the nutmeg and remove from heat. Prepare the pinwheels: Boil lasagne noodles according to package directions, adding 1 T of oil to the boiling water. When al dente, drain and lay out on a baking sheet or large cutting board so that the noodles do not stick together. (You may even toss them with a small amount of oil if needed.) In a large skillet, heat 2 T of oil over medium heat and saute the onion, garlic and mushrooms about 7 or 8 minutes until softened and the mushrooms begin to turn deep brown in color. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta, egg, and 1 cup of the parmesan. Add the ricotta and spinach mixture to the mushroom mixture and stir to combine and slightly soften the cheeses. Assemble: Spread the white sauce on the bottom of a greased square casserole dish (8 or 9 inch). On each lasagne noodle, place 3-4 T of the cheese mixture (a small ice cream scoop works well) and spread over the surface. Roll up the noodle and place in the casserole dish so that the pinwheel is set on its side. Continue with the remaining noodles, setting them next to each other in 4 rows of 3. Top with 1-2 cups of maranara sauce, the mozarella cheese and the remaining parmesan. Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking another 10-15 or until cheese on top is just beginning to brown. Remove from oven and let set 10 minutes. Heat the remaining maranara sauce in a small saucepan and serve on the side.

• 1 Prepare the béchamel sauce. Then, place the spinach in a large pot with 1/2 cup of water. Add a pinch of salt. Cover and cook over medium heat until the spinach is tender, about 5 minutes. Drain the spinach well. Let cool. Wrap the spinach in a towel and squeeze it to extract as much of the juice as possible. Chop the spinach and set it aside. 2 In a large skillet, melt four tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. 3 Stir in the mushrooms and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, until all of the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms are tender. Stir in the chopped cooked spinach. 4 Set aside 1/2 cup of the béchamel sauce. Stir the remainder into the vegetable mixture. 5 Have ready a large bowl of cold water. Lay out some lint-free kitchen towels on a work surface. 6 Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of salt. Add the lasagne a few pieces at a time. Cook the lasagne until tender but slightly underdone. Scoop the pasta out of the water. Place the cooked pasta in the cold water. When cool enough to handle, lay the pasta sheets out flat on the towels, which can be stacked one on top of the other. Continue cooking and cooling the remaining lasagne in the same way. 7 Butter a 13 × 9 × 2-inch pan. Set aside the 2 best-looking pasta strips for the top layer. Make a layer of pasta in the prepared pan, overlapping the pieces. Spread with a thin layer of the vegetables and a sprinkle of cheese. Repeat the layering, ending with the pasta. Spread with reserved béchamel. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Dot with the remaining butter. 8 Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake 45 minutes.
