PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM LASAGNA
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil with 1 tablespoon salt and a splash of oil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain and set aside.
- For the white sauce, bring the milk to a simmer in a saucepan. Set aside. Melt 8 tablespoons (1 stick) of the butter in a large saucepan. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Pour the hot milk into the butter-flour mixture all at once. Add 1 tablespoon salt, the pepper, and nutmeg, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring first with the wooden spoon and then with a whisk, for 3 to 5 minutes, until thick. Set aside off the heat.
- Separate the mushroom stems from the caps and discard the stems. Slice the caps 1/4-inch thick. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan. When the butter melts, add half the mushrooms, sprinkle with salt, and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and they release some of their juices. If they become too dry, add a little more oil. Toss occasionally to make sure the mushrooms cook evenly. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms and set all the mushrooms aside.
- To assemble the lasagna, spread some of the sauce in the bottom of an 8 by 12 by 2-inch baking dish. Arrange a layer of noodles on top, then more sauce, then 1/3 of the mushrooms, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan. Repeat 2 more times, layering noodles, sauce, mushrooms, and Parmesan. Top with a final layer of noodles and sauce, and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan.
- Bake the lasagna for 45 minutes, or until the top is browned the sauce is bubbly and hot. Allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes and serve hot.

PORTABELLO LASAGNA WITH BASIL CREAM SAUCE
I found this recipe in a Rachel Ray magazine then tweaked it to be my own. It is absolutely fantastic. I love it so much. My family loved it too. It is a little bit more time consuming that some other recipes but well worth the raves. I think you could possibly use already cooked lasagna noodles and I may try that next time...

Steps:
- 1. In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Stir in the flour and cook for two minutes. Slowly whisk in the hot milk, then the smashed garlic cloves (I added two instead of one) and 3/4 tsp. salt. I also found this mixture not very salty and had to add more so taste this mixture when it has thickened. Cook and bring garlic sauce to boil, whisking continually for 3-5 minutes until thickened. Set aside.
- 2. In a large pot of boiling water that is well salted and a little oil so the noodles will not stick, cook the lasagna noodles for 8 minutes until they are not quite ready to eat but hard to bite. Drain and transfer to bowl of cold water to stop cooking process.
- 3. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees. In a large skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Add onions and garlic and cook over low heat until the onions and garlic are translucent and softened. Also this may need to have a little salt. This whole dish seemed to be not salty enough so I kept having to salt each portion and I am not a person who adds extra salt. At this point, stir in the mushrooms and increase heat to medium high and cook until mushrooms are dry about 5 - 7 minutes.
- 4. Using a food processsor, puree the basil leaves with the garlic cream. Set aside 1/2 cup of the cream. Stir in the remaining basil garlic cream and 1/2 cup of parmesan into the mushroom mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
- 5. Grease or spray a rectangular baking pan and spread 3/4 cup of the garlic sauce on the bottom of the pan. Drain the lasagna noodles. Lay noodles on top and alternate your mixture with noodles then top with your reserved sauce and the rest of your parmesan cheese. I used extra parmesan cheese throughout the layers because I had extra cheese and it made it fantastic. I'm sure it is great either way. Be careful not to overuse your filling or you will run out before you use it on all of your noodles. You have nine noodles or three layers of three to use. That is two layers of filling and then the last reserved cream sauce on top. (Personal note: I barely had enough. It almost needs a little more cream sauce and next time I make it, I'm going to figure in a little more filling. I'm not sure how I'm going to do it but I am. I think it needs a little more. Either that or leave a few noodles out but I think the noodles need to be there. I'll probably do a 1/4 of a recipe more of the cream sauce but no more portabellos or onions.)
- 6. Bake until golden 40-45 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes.
