CHICKEN, MUSHROOM AND SPINACH ALFREDO LASAGNA
Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often until the mushrooms are browned and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onions and garlic to the pan and saute until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, to make a light roux, about 2 minutes. Whisking constantly, slowly add the milk and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until thickened, 5 minutes. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, pepper, nutmeg, spinach and 1 1/2 cups of the Parmesan and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the bechamel sauce until ready to assemble the lasagna.
- Set a large, 12-inch saute pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Season the chicken with the Essence and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and place in the hot pan. Sear the chicken, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool and set aside. When cool, cut into bite size pieces.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Coat a 9 by 13 by 3-inch casserole with olive oil, and spread about 1/2 cup of the bechamel sauce on the bottom of the dish. Lay 3 sheets of pasta across the bottom of the dish and spread 3/4 cup of the bechamel sauce over the pasta. Sprinkle 1/4 of the chicken over the bechamel sauce, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the remaining Parmesan. Lay another 3 sheets of pasta over the chicken. Repeat 2 additional times with the remaining bechamel sauce, chicken, Parmesan, and pasta, ending with a layer of pasta covered with bechamel sauce. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan over the bechamel sauce and scatter the butter pieces over the top. Place the casserole on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake, uncovered, until bubbly and well browned, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

SPINACH ARTICHOKE AND MUSHROOM ALFREDO PIZZA
I fell in love with the alfredo artichoke pizza at Artichoke downtown and wanted to make a less expensive and less rich version at home since I like experimenting with tomato-free pizzas. I like using Recipe #453818 or Recipe #31072 to make little 8" crusts but I made a 12" version of the Sicilian dough with this pizza to have dinner ready for 2 days. I made some alfredo sauce with soymilk, dairy butter, and a packet of Simply Organic alfredo sauce mix and used that along with some fresh mushrooms and canned artichoke pieces that I rinsed. Just use whatever you have on hand or floats your boat, it'll be delicious no matter what! All the following measurements are completely approximate; it's more to give you an idea of what to use on your pizza to get this exquisite flavor that is a different kind of blonde/white pizza.

A simple throw-together pizza that revolves around Alfredo sauce and garlic! This is something I just put together one day when I wanted to try doing a pizza that didn't use a marinara and has been tweaked to perfection in multiple variations since.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F Bring a large, wide pot of water to boil with salt and a splash of oil, that will help keep your noodles from sticking together as they drain. Add the lasagna noodles and cook for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Make béchamel: Bring the milk and garlic to simmer in a saucepan, or heat it in your microwave, and set it aside. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan. Add the flour and cook for one minute over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon. Pour in the hot milk, a little at a time at first and stirring until combined. Continue adding a few tablespoons at a tim until you've added half of it, then you can add the second half all at once, along with 1/2 teaspoon table salt, the pepper, and nutmeg. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring or whisking frequently, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until thick. Set aside.
- Prepare vegtables: Discard portobello mushroom stems and/or trim the ends of the cremini stems. Slice mushrooms 1/4-inch thick. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoons butter over medium in the bottom of the large, wide pot you used to cook the noodles earlier, or in a large sauté pan. Cook the mushrooms with a pinch of salt for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender and release some of their juices, tossing to make sure they cook evenly. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
- Assemble lasagna: Spread some of the sauce in the bottom of 9x9 baking dish (if you'd like to freeze or give this dish as a gift, remember to use a foil pan). Arrange a layer of noodles on top*, then more sauce (about 1/4 of what remains), 1/3 of the mushrooms and 1/4 cup grated parmesan. Repeat two more times then top with a final layer of noodles, your remaning sauce and last 1/4 cup of parmesan.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until top is browned and the sauce is bubbly. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving. To freeze for future use, allow it to cool completely and wrap two to three times in plastic wrap before freezing.

CREAMY MUSHROOM ALFREDO SAUCE
This creamy mushroom alfredo sauce recipe is simple and delicious. By using zucchini as the base, you get a mushroom sauce that is full of nutrients and low-fat. You can serve this sauce over any whole grain or noodle, or even a sauteed vegetable, but I have served it over millet. This is a creamy, satisfying dish that doesn't make you feel tired and sluggish.

Steps:
- If making millet, rinse and drain it, and add 2 cups of water for your 1 cup of millet. Sprinkle sea salt in the water, bring it to a boil and simmer on low for 20 minutes, or until dry and fluffy.
- Meanwhile, heat a pan to medium heat. Add the oil and the sliced mushroom tops. Reserve the stems for the sauce. Saute the mushrooms for a few minutes while you start on the sauce.
- Heat a medium sauce pot, add oil, onion and garlic. Stir to coat, and allow to cook for a few minutes until onions are translucent. Stir in the zucchini and mushroom stems and allow to saute for a few minutes until all the vegetables are starting to soften.
- The next part of this creamy mushroom sauce recipe is to go back to the mushrooms, sprinkle salt on them, and let cook a few more minutes.
- Add the salt, pepper, basil, nutmeg and optional nutritional yeast, and stir to coat the vegetables. Cook until the zucchini is fully softened.
- Go back to the mushrooms and when they are fully cooked pour the wine, water and optional lime juice in the pan to deglaze. Set aside until the sauce is finished.
- Once it is very soft, add the water, coconut milk and lime juice and let simmer for a couple of minutes. Lime juice makes this sauce very light and playful, so if you are looking for a heavier-tasting creamy sauce leave this out and use more coconut milk.
- Blend the vegetables in a blender or food processor until smooth. Stir in the sauteed mushrooms and serve over the fully cooked millet or other grain, garnished with your choice of fresh green herb.

Tips:
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to cook the mushrooms. This will give them plenty of room to brown and release their flavor.
- Be sure to cook the mushrooms over medium-high heat. This will help them to brown quickly and evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet with mushrooms. If you do, they will steam instead of brown.
- Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste.
- Use a good quality Alfredo sauce. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
- If you don't have any Alfredo sauce on hand, you can make your own by following this recipe: Homemade Alfredo Sauce.
- Serve the mushroom Alfredo over your favorite pasta. Linguine, fettuccine, and penne are all good choices.
- Garnish the pasta with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
Conclusion:
Mushroom Alfredo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover mushrooms. So next time you have some mushrooms on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
