To make this Mushroom and Herb Lasagna, you will need the following ingredients:
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh oregano, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups milk
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions and set aside. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper.
In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the milk and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper.
To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the béchamel sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with a layer of lasagna noodles, followed by a layer of the mushroom mixture and a layer of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers until all of the ingredients are used up, ending with a layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake the lasagna for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the lasagna is heated through. Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
This Mushroom and Herb Lasagna is a comforting and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of fresh herbs and mushrooms gives the lasagna a rich and earthy flavor, while the creamy béchamel sauce adds a luxurious texture. This dish is perfect for vegetarians and meat-lovers alike, and is sure to become a family favorite.
