Ingredients
- 12 lasagna noodles, (8 oz/250 g)
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese or mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Mushroom Sauce:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 celery stalk, chopped
- 8 cups sliced mushrooms, (1-1/4 lb/625 g)
- 1 cup vegetable stock
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 can (28 oz/796 mL) diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- Cheese Filling:
- 1 tub (475 g) extra-smooth ricotta cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese or mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Preparation
Mushroom Sauce: In saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat; cook onion, garlic, carrot, celery and mushrooms, stirring, until no liquid remains, 15 minutes.
Add stock, salt, pepper and bay leaf; cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and tomato paste; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thick enough to mound on spoon, about 20 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Set aside.
Cheese Filling: Meanwhile, in bowl, stir together ricotta cheese, egg, provolone cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Set aside.
In large pot of boiling salted water, cook noodles until almost tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain; chill under cold water. Arrange in single layer between damp tea towels.
Spread 1 cup (250 mL) of the mushroom sauce in 13- x 9-inch (3 L) glass baking dish. Top with one-third of the noodles; spread with one-third of the remaining mushroom sauce, then half of the cheese filling. Starting with noodles, repeat layers once. Top with remaining noodles; spread with remaining mushroom sauce. Sprinkle with provolone and Parmesan cheeses. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate until cold. Cover with plastic wrap and overwrap with heavy-duty foil; freeze for up to 2 weeks. Thaw in refrigerator for 48 hours. Increase covered baking time by 15 minutes.)
Cover loosely with foil; bake in 375°F (190°C) oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for 15 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
