**Spinach and Mushroom Lasagna Roll-Ups: A Flavorful Twist on the Classic Dish**

Lasagna, a classic Italian dish, is known for its layers of pasta, cheese, and sauce. This recipe takes a unique approach by rolling up the lasagna sheets and filling them with a savory mixture of spinach, mushrooms, and ricotta cheese. The result is a delightful fusion of flavors and textures that will tantalize your taste buds. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner looking to impress, these spinach and mushroom lasagna roll-ups are sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.

**Savory Spinach and Mushroom Filling**

The heart of this dish lies in the filling, which combines the earthy flavors of spinach and mushrooms with the creaminess of ricotta cheese. Fresh spinach, sautéed with garlic and olive oil, adds a vibrant green color and a slightly bitter note that complements the umami-rich mushrooms. The ricotta cheese, with its smooth and velvety texture, binds the filling together and adds a touch of richness.

**Homemade Lasagna Sheets**

To elevate this dish even further, consider making your own lasagna sheets from scratch. This may seem like a daunting task, but with a little patience and the right ingredients, you can create fresh, pliable lasagna sheets that are far superior to store-bought ones. The homemade sheets have a delicate texture that allows the filling to shine through, making each bite a delightful experience.

**Béchamel Sauce for a Creamy Touch**

No lasagna is complete without a creamy and flavorful sauce. This recipe features a classic béchamel sauce, made with butter, flour, and milk. The addition of nutmeg and Parmesan cheese enhances the sauce's flavor, giving it a nutty and slightly tangy profile. The béchamel sauce not only adds moisture to the lasagna roll-ups but also helps to bind them together.

**Baking and Presentation**

Once the lasagna roll-ups are assembled, they are baked in a casserole dish until golden brown and bubbly. The melted cheese on top creates an irresistible crust, while the interior remains moist and flavorful. When serving, arrange the lasagna roll-ups on a platter and garnish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley to add a pop of color and freshness.

This recipe provides detailed instructions for each component of the dish, including the homemade lasagna sheets, béchamel sauce, and the assembly process. It also offers tips for achieving the perfect texture and flavor balance. Whether you're cooking for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner, these spinach and mushroom lasagna roll-ups are sure to impress.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

16 cremini caps, cleaned with a damp towel and finely chopped in food processor
1 small yellow-skinned onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons (2 turns around the pan) extra-virgin olive oil
One 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
Salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg or the equivalent of freshly grated
2 cups part skim ricotta
8 curly edge lasagna noodles, cooked to al dente (12 to 14 minutes)
1 cup fat free chicken broth
8 ounces Gorgonzola, crumbled
1/2 cup (3 turns around the pan) heavy cream
1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
Steamed Asparagus Tips, recipe follows
Broiled Tomatoes, recipe follows
2 small or 1 large bundle asparagus
4 vine-ripe tomatoes
Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet over moderate heat, saute mushrooms, chopped onions, and garlic in oil until mushrooms give off their juices and darken and onions are tender, about 7 or 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; the salt will help draw water out of the vegetables as they cook.
  • Add dry chopped spinach to the pan and heat through for 1 minute. Adjust seasonings with salt, pepper, and a little nutmeg. Add ricotta and stir into mixture to heat cheese through, 1 minute longer. Remove pan from heat but leave in the warm skillet.
  • Heat broth in a small pan over moderate heat. Melt Gorgonzola into broth and bring liquid to a bubble. Stir in cream and thicken sauce 2 minutes.
  • Place cooked lasagna noodles on a large work surface or cutting board. Spread lasagna noodles with a layer of spinach-mushroom filling. Roll up pasta and arrange the 8 bundles in a shallow flameproof casserole dish. Pour warm sauce over roll-ups and top with mozzarella. Place casserole under broiler to melt cheese. Serve with Steamed Asparagus and Broiled Tomatoes.
  • While you boil your lasagna noodles, place fresh asparagus tips in a small colander over the boiling water in the pasta pot. Place a lid on the colander and steam asparagus while you are cooking your pasta for 4 minutes or until tips are just tender.
  • Split 4 vine-ripe tomatoes across the center and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Broil tomatoes.
  • Serve along side your completed casserole. Top with any fresh herb you have on hand: basil, thyme, or rosemary.
