PESTO LASAGNE



Pesto Lasagne image

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Pesto, recipe follows
Besciamella, recipe follows
Butter, for baking dish, plus more for topping
1 1/2 (9-ounce) boxes no boil lasagna noodles
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
4 cups fresh basil leaves, about 4 ounces
1/3 cup pine nuts
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated Pecorino Sardo or Romano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 1/2 cups whole milk
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Butter a 13 by 9 by 4 baking dish and add a thin layer of besciamella (bechamel sauce). Cover with a layer of lasagna noodles, and then another thin layer of besciamella. Gently spread about 4 tablespoons pesto across the surface, and then top with about 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Repeat until you finish layering the lasagne. Top with a final layer of noodles and spread a final very thin layer besciamella, pesto, Parmesan cheese and a little butter to help the cheese crisp-up when cooked in the oven.
  • Cook the lasagne for about 30 minutes. Serve dressed with some Parmesan and a drop of extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Fresh Pesto: Combine the basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, and olive oil in a mortar and pestle and pound until paste forms. Add the Parmesan cheese, Pecorino cheese, salt and pepper and stir until smooth.
  • Keep the pesto in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
  • Mix the pasta and the pesto...serve garnished with some grated Parmesan (just a touch), fresh ground pepper and a sprinkle of olive oil.
  • Besciamella: Melt the 1/2 cup butter in a pan over medium heat. Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon. Cook's Note: This is an important moment, as you have to slowly toast the flour without burning it. This will help you lose the floury taste.
  • Warm up the milk and gradually ladle into the pot with the butter-flour mixture, whisking constantly while bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Season the sauce with freshly grated nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

LASAGNA WITH SPINACH AND WILD MUSHROOMS



Lasagna With Spinach and Wild Mushrooms image

Mushrooms enrich this classic spinach lasagna, a family favorite and a great do ahead dish. I like juicy wild mushrooms like maitakes or oyster mushrooms for this. I also prefer bunch spinach to the baby variety, because baby spinach can be a bit stringy when you cook it (however you will be chopping it and blending it into the ricotta here so perhaps that isn't such an issue). Before you begin to assemble your lasagna it helps to be organized about the quantities of each element that you will need for the layers. It is very frustrating to get to the last layer of your casserole and not have enough sauce for the top.

Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound spinach, stemmed and washed in 2 changes water if using bunch spinach, rinsed if using bagged baby spinach
Salt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus additional for oiling baking dish
1/2 pound wild mushrooms, such as oyster mushrooms or maitakes, torn or cut into smaller slices if large or in clumps
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
8 ounces ricotta cheese
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
Pinch of nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 1/3 to 2 1/2 cups marinara sauce (more to taste)
7 to 8 ounces no-boil lasagna (depends on the size and shape of your dish)
4 ounces (1 cup) freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat a large frying pan over high heat and add the wet spinach. Wilt in the water left on the leaves, stirring until all of the spinach has collapsed in the pan. Transfer to a bowl of cold water, then drain and squeeze out excess water, taking up spinach by the handful. Chop fine and season with a little bit of salt. Set aside. (Alternatively, blanch for 20 seconds in salted boiling water).
  • Clean and dry skillet and heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over high heat. Add mushrooms. Let sear without moving for about 30 seconds, then toss and stir in the pan until they begin to sweat, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn heat to medium and add minced garlic and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and continue to cook over medium heat until mushrooms are soft, 3 to 5 more minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from heat.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a rectangular baking dish. Blend ricotta cheese with egg, water, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in spinach.
  • Spread a small spoonful of marinara sauce in a thin layer over the bottom of the baking dish. Top with a layer of lasagna noodles. Top the noodles with a thin layer of ricotta. Spoon on a few dollops then spread it with an offset or rubber spatula. Top ricotta with half the mushrooms, then top with a layer of marinara sauce and a layer of Parmesan. Repeat layers, then add a final layer of lasagna noodles topped with marinara sauce and Parmesan. Drizzle on remaining olive oil.
  • Cover baking dish tightly with foil and place in the oven. Bake 40 minutes, until noodles are tender and mixture is bubbling. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect pesto sauce, use fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil.
  • For a creamier pesto, add a little heavy cream or sour cream.
  • If you don't have pine nuts, you can substitute walnuts or almonds.
  • To make the lasagna noodles from scratch, mix all-purpose flour, eggs, and salt in a food processor until the dough comes together.
  • If you don't have time to make your own noodles, you can use store-bought lasagna noodles.
  • Use a variety of mushrooms for the filling, such as cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms.
  • Add spinach or kale to the filling for an extra boost of nutrients.
  • To make the lasagna extra cheesy, add a layer of mozzarella cheese between each layer of noodles.
  • Bake the lasagna for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the noodles are cooked through.
  • Let the lasagna cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
