Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to slice the portobello mushrooms. This will help to prevent them from tearing.
- Cook the mushrooms in a single layer. This will help them to brown evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. This will also help them to brown evenly.
- Use a good quality prosciutto. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the lasagna.
- Don't overcook the lasagna. The mushrooms should be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them.
