Mushroom and Cheese Lasagna
Yum
Mushroom and Cheese Lasagna is delicious vegetarian lasagna bake finished in 50 minutes. No boil lasagna noodles, mushrooms and cheese loaded version even Garfield would not resist!
Ricotta cheese is our base for so many sweet and savoury dishes and we always have at least one pack in the fridge. However, it is not available everywhere and there are so many other sorts to use for this batch of mushroom lasagna!
When you scroll down to the recipe, you’ll see we used Gorgonzola, spicy cheese that you may serve with fresh fruits or jams as well.
Once melted in warm bechamel sauce with Gouda cheese and mushrooms you have the best vegetarian comfort food for all cheese lovers!
This batch of mushroom lasagna serves four hungry people and can be reheated the other day to use leftovers or to pack for office.
Also, my 11 x 7 inches baking dish is just enough for 5 layers of lasagna noodles. One layer is set with 3 ( 7 x 3 inches) no cook lasagna noodles.
What is bechamel sauce?
It is one of five mother sauces recipe. The others are Hollandaise, Veloute, Espagnole and tomato sauce. If you are interested in detailed description of them all, please go to thespruceeats .
If you wonder who invented lasagna, here is the answer:
The Italian favorite of lasagne or lasagna that we all know and love originated in Italy in the city of Naples during the Middle Ages. One of the first references to modern-day lasagne can be found in a 14th-century English cookbook that highlighted a dish with layers of pasta without the tomatoes. For the whole story, please go here .
In case you would make lighter version of cheese lasagna without Ricotta, you may use cottage and mozzarella cheese. If doing so, add egg to cheese mixture since it helps binding it and makes it much easier to cut your meal once done.
