Mushroom lasagne



It looks like a bit of a dogs dinner but tasted very good.

Ingredients (serves 3-4 with salad):
1 white onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 pack of chestnut musrooms, sliced
4 portobello mushrooms, sliced
a good handful of dried mixed mushrooms
5 fresh thyme sprigs
1 bag or 4 large handfuls of spinach
1 pack of fresh lasagne sheets
1 glass of dry white wine
50ml marsala
1 small tub of double cream
parmesan
olive oil and butter
salt and pepper
  • Pre heat the oven to 170 degrees
  • Soak the dried mushrooms in boiling water for 20 minutes to soften
  • Meanwhile, fry the onion and garlic in a little oil and butter until softened
  • Slice the chestnut and portobello mushrooms and add them to the pan with the softened dried mushrooms
  • Add the wine, marsala and a table spoon of the dried mushroom soaking liquid and allow to simmer for 7-8 minutes or so
  • Add the cream, spinach and thyme and season well with salt and pepper, allow to simmer for another couple of minutes
  • This bit is easier with two people... fill a large saucepan or bowl with very hot water and blanche the lasagne sheets in it for 1 minute each. In an over proof lasagne dish, layer the pre-soaked lasagne sheets and spoon in the mushroom filling between each layer
  • Sprinkle grated parmesan between each layer as you go and add extra parmesan on the top layer
  • Cover with foil and put in the pre-heated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for a further 10-15 minutes until the top is golden
