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.

Tips:
- Roast the Peppers and Mushrooms: Roasting the red peppers and portabella mushrooms intensifies their flavor and adds a smoky depth to the lasagna.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh basil, oregano, and thyme add a burst of flavor to the lasagna. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
- Don't Overcook the Lasagna: The lasagna is done when the noodles are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overcooking will make the noodles mushy and the cheese tough.
- Let the Lasagna Rest: Before slicing and serving, let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set.
- Serve with a Side Salad or Garlic Bread: Roasted Red Pepper and Portabella Lasagna pairs well with a simple side salad or garlic bread.
