HEALTHIER SPINACH LASAGNA WITH MUSHROOMS
We love this spinach and mushroom lasagna. This keeps incredibly well - it might even be better the next day. To keep things easy, we take advantage of no-boil lasagna noodles. While we were skeptical to use them at first, we've fallen in love with the ease and final texture of the noodles.

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.

Repeat the layers (noodles, ricotta, sauce, mozzarella mixture). Top with the remaining noodles, then the remaining sauce and mozzarella mixture.

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.
GOLDEN GRUYERE, SPINACH AND MUSHROOM LASAGNA
This recipe was in today's Chicago Tribune. I'm posting it here so I don't lose it. This fusion lasagna can be prepared 12 hours in advance and baked right before serving. It also can be frozen, unbaked. But though the lasagna can be prepared with any kind of lasagna noodle, if you plan to freeze it before serving, use cooked lasagna pasta sheets or strips. The no-cook and fresh varieties tend to dry out in the freezer. The recipe doubles easily.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring, until they begin to brown and any moisture has evaporated. Transfer to a large plate to cool.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of the oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion; cook until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add the frozen spinach; cover. Cook 2 minutes; remove the lid. Stir the spinach. Cover; repeat until the spinach is thawed. Remove cover; cook until the moisture from the spinach has evaporated. Transfer the spinach-onion mixture to a large plate to cool.
- Heat milk; set aside. Melt butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat; stir in flour. Cook, stirring, until mixture starts to thin, 1-2 minutes. Add warm milk in a steady stream while whisking mixture. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. Heat to a boil; reduce heat to low. Simmer sauce, stirring often until sauce coats the back of a spoon, 10 minutes. Stir in ham; remove from heat. Add three-fourths of the cheese; stir until it melts. Set aside.
- Spoon a few tablespoons of the bechamel-cheese sauce in a 13-by-9-inch pan. Cover the sauce with a layer of lasagna sheets. Spread the spinach-onion mixture over the first layer; cover with one-third of the sauce. Add another layer of lasagna sheets; spread the mushrooms over this layer. Cover with one-third of the sauce. Add the last layer of lasagna sheets; spread the remaining sauce over. Top with the remaining grated cheese. Cover; refrigerate until baking time, up to 12 hours. Or wrap well and freeze.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake lasagna, uncovered, until heated through and the cheese is golden brown, 35-45 minutes. (If frozen, the lasagna should be baked, covered with foil, 45 minutes, then uncovered and baked until heated through, 30-40 minutes.).

HOME/MADE MUSHROOM LASAGNA
Monica Byrne, with her partner, Leisah Swenson, runs a tiny restaurant in Red Hook, Brooklyn, called Home/Made. A plurality of words that appear on the Home/Made menu: "cheese," "smoked," "bacon," "caramelized." Three of those four appear in Byrne's lasagna, leaving out only bacon, which would be a fine addition. She layers smoked mozzarella over a painting of rich, garlicky béchamel and sheets of pasta, then radicchio roasted into sweetness and tossed in sauce. Sautéed mushrooms add heft and loamy funkiness, and a mixture of Fontina and Gruyère add zing.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. Place a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add 1/4 cup of the olive oil or herb oil. When it begins to shimmer, add half of the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Add mushrooms and toss to coat, then cook until they begin to color but are still plump, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Add white wine to deglaze pan and allow to cook down into a syrup, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Put the mushrooms into a large bowl and reserve.
- Meanwhile, in another bowl, toss the radicchio with 1/4 cup olive oil or herb oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread the strips out onto a baking pan and place in the oven until the strips are lightly browned around the edges, approximately 15 minutes. Combine with mushrooms and reserve.
- Make the béchamel. Place a saucepan over medium heat and melt the butter. When it foams, add the rest of the shallots and cook until they begin to turn translucent. Add the garlic and stir to combine, then cook until the garlic has started to soften. Sprinkle flour over the top and stir to combine, then cook gently until the mixture has turned light brown and gives off a nutty scent, approximately 10 minutes. Add milk to the mixture, whisking all the while, until the sauce is thick and creamy. Add the nutmeg and 1/4 cup of grated Gruyère and 1/4 cup of grated Fontina, then stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Reserve a cup of béchamel. Pour the rest over the mixture of mushrooms and radicchio, and stir to combine. Add truffle oil, if using.
- Assemble lasagna. Spread plain béchamel across the bottom of a 9- by-13-inch baking pan. Place a layer of lasagna sheets across the sauce, being careful not to overlap. Spread a generous layer of mushroom mixture on top of the pasta, and follow with some grated Fontina and Gruyère. Put another layer of pasta above the cheese, and top with smoked mozzarella. Repeat until the pasta is gone and the pan is full. Top with remaining cheeses and a generous amount of grated Parmesan. Cover with a buttered sheet of aluminum foil and place in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove foil and cook until top is golden and bubbling.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible, especially for the spinach and mushrooms.
- Don't overcrowd the lasagna pan. If you have too much filling, it will be difficult to cook evenly.
- Be careful not to overcook the lasagna. The noodles should be al dente, not mushy.
- Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set.
Conclusion:
Golden Gruyère, Spinach, and Mushroom Lasagna is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is also a great way to use up leftover spinach and mushrooms. With its rich, creamy sauce, tender noodles, and flavorful filling, this lasagna is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
