Mushroom Lasagna Recipe Jamie Oliver Food

LASAGNE

Steps:

• Recipe kindly shared by the Tesco Community Cookery School with Jamie Oliver. The recipe has been written to be flexible and scalable up to 50 portions.
• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
• Put a fifth of your Bolognese sauce into the bottom of a deep ovenproof dish (35cm x 25cm), smoothing it out into the corners.
• Dollop a fifth of your white sauce over the Bolognese and swirl it in, then cover with an even layer of pasta sheets.
• Repeat the layering until all the lasagne sheets and sauces are used up.
• Grate over the cheese.
• Tear off a sheet of tin foil large enough to cover the baking dish without touching the cheese, and grease the underside. Cover the lasagne with the foil, crimping the edges under the rim to seal.
• Bake for 45 minutes, or until the pasta is hot through and soft.
• Remove the foil and return to the oven for a further 15 minutes, or until bubbling and golden.

TASTY VEGAN LASAGNE

Steps:

• Peel the onions, garlic and carrots, trim the celery and pick the rosemary leaves, then finely chop.
• Scrape into a large pan on a medium heat with 2 tablespoons of oil and the chilli flakes, and cook for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
• Pour in the wine and let it bubble and cook away, then tip in the lentils (juices and all).
• Scrunch in the tomatoes, add 1 tin's worth of water, then simmer over a low heat for 1 hour. Season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper.
• Meanwhile, working in batches, tear the mushrooms into a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat and dry-fry for 5 minutes (this will bring out the nutty flavour), then transfer to a plate.
• Quickly wipe the pan, then pour in 4 tablespoons of oil and stir in the flour. Gradually whisk in the almond milk, simmer for 5 minutes to thicken, then pour into a blender.
• Add a third of the mushrooms and 50g of the cheese, season with salt and pepper, then blitz until smooth.
• Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
• Spoon a layer of tomato sauce into the bottom of a 25cm x 35cm baking dish, scatter over a few mushrooms, then cover with lasagne sheets and 5 tablespoons of creamy sauce. Repeat these layers three more times, finishing with all the remaining creamy sauce and mushrooms.
• Grate over the remaining cheese. Pick the sage, toss in a little oil, then push into the top layer.
• Bake at the bottom of the oven for 50 minutes, or until golden and bubbling. Leave to stand for 15 minutes before serving. Delicious served with a simple seasonal salad.

QUICK MUSHROOM & SPINACH LASAGNE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the garlic and cook for 1 min. Add the mushrooms and thyme, then cook for 3 mins until they start to soften. Throw in the spinach and stir until the heat of the pan wilts the leaves. Remove from the heat and stir in the soft cheese, 1 tbsp of the Parmesan and some seasoning.
• Put a quarter of the spinach mix on the bottom of a medium-sized baking dish, lay 2 pasta sheets on top, then repeat until you have used all the pasta. Finish with the final quarter of the spinach mix, sprinkle over the rest of the Parmesan, then bake for 35 mins until golden and the pasta is tender.

MUSHROOM LASAGNA

Steps:

• Place the dried mushrooms in a glass measuring cup and pour 2 cups boiling water over them. Let soak 30 minutes, while you prepare the other ingredients. Place a strainer over a bowl, line it with cheesecloth or paper towels, and drain the mushrooms. Squeeze the mushrooms over the strainer to extract all the flavorful juices. If using shiitakes, cut away and discard the stems. Then rinse the mushrooms, away from the bowl with the soaking liquid, until they are free of sand. Squeeze dry and set aside. Chop coarsely. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of the soaking liquid and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and add the shallots or onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, stir together for about 30 seconds, then add the fresh and reconstituted mushrooms and salt to taste. Cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms begin to soften and to sweat, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and turn the heat to high. Cook, stirring, until the liquid boils down and glazes the mushrooms, 5 to 10 minutes. Add thyme and stir in the mushroom soaking liquid. Bring to a simmer, add salt, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the mushrooms are thoroughly tender and fragrant and the surrounding broth has reduced by a little more than half, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in some freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust salt.
• Meanwhile, make the béchamel. Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy saucepan. Add the shallot or onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes, until smooth and bubbling, but not browned. It should have the texture of wet sand. Whisk in the milk all at once and bring to a simmer, whisking all the while, until the mixture begins to thicken. Turn the heat to very low and simmer, stirring often with a whisk and scraping the bottom and edges of the pan with a rubber spatula, for 10 to 15 minutes, until the sauce is thick and has lost its raw-flour taste. Season with salt and pepper. Strain while hot into the pan with the mushrooms.
• Assemble the lasagna. Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Oil or butter a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt generously and add 3 or 4 lasagna noodles, just the number you need for one layer. Cook only until flexible, and using tongs or a skimmer, remove from the pan and set on a kitchen towel to drain. Spoon a thin layer of béchamel and mushrooms over the bottom of the dish. Top with a layer of noodles. Spread a ladleful of the mushroom/béchamel mixture over the noodles and top with a layer of Parmesan. Cook the next layer of noodles and continue to repeat the layers (I get three layers in my pan), ending with a layer of the mushroom/béchamel mixture topped with Parmesan. Cover with foil and place in the oven. Bake 30 minutes. Remove the foil, and if you want the edges of the noodles crispy and the top lightly browned, continue to bake uncovered for another 5 to 10 minutes. Serve hot or warm.

CREAMY MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• ;
• Preheat your oven to its lowest setting and pop the loaf of bread in to warm through.
• Spend a few minutes gently brushing along the underside of the mushrooms to get rid of any bugs and dirt that might be hiding there. This is well worth the effort. Finely chop your parsley, stalks and all, reserving a few of the leaves.
• Put the butter into a large hot pan and as soon as it starts to melt add a drizzle of olive oil, the mushrooms, sliced onion, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir everything around and cook for about 8 minutes, or until the onions have softened and the mushrooms are starting to caramelize and take on colour.
• Add the chopped parsley, then pour in the cream. Continue to stir and cook for another minute, until the cream has come to the boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for a minute before removing from the heat. Add a good squeeze of lemon juice, have a taste, and add more salt, pepper or lemon juice if it needs it.
• Take your bread out of the oven and tear it into big chunks. Divide the mushrooms among the plates and scatter over the reserved parsley leaves. Serve with the chunks of bread on the side to mop up all the creamy mushroomy juices, and tuck in!

MEATY MUSHROOM LASAGNA

Steps:

• Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Set aside.
• Sauce: In a 2-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually add the warm milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce is thick and smooth, about 8 minutes (do not allow the mixture to boil). Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheeses and nutmeg. Stir until the cheeses have melted and the sauce is smooth. Add the prosciutto, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper.
• Filling: In a large skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook, stirring frequently until soft, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms, rosemary and thyme and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and the liquid has evaporated, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the noodles and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• To assemble the lasagna: Ladle 1/2 cup of the sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Lay 3 pasta noodles on top. Spoon 1/2 of the mushroom mixture on top of the pasta. Ladle 1 cup of the sauce over the mushroom mixture and lay 3 more noodles on top. Repeat the layers using the remaining mushroom mixture, 1 cup of sauce and the remaining 3 noodles. Top with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with 1 cup smoked mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Drizzle the top with olive oil and bake until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Cut the lasagna into wedges and serve.

MUSHROOM LASAGNA

Steps:

• Cover porcini with water in microwave-safe dish; cover with plastic wrap, cut several steam vents in plastic with paring knife, and microwave on high power for 30 seconds. Let stand until mushrooms soften, about 5 minutes. Lift mushrooms from liquid with fork and roughly chop. Strain liquid though fine-mesh strainer lined with paper towels into medium bowl. Set mushrooms and liquid aside.
• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees.
• Spread portobellos in even layer on rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tbsp oil; tossing to coat mushrooms evenly; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 tsp pepper and toss again. Roast mushrooms until shriveled and all liquid has evaporated, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool. Do not turn off oven.
• Heat 1 tablespoons oil in 12 inch nonstick skillet over medium high heat until shimmering. Add onions, 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are browned around the edges, about 10 minutes. Transfer onions to large bowl and set aside.
• Process button mushrooms in food processor until uniformly coarsely chopped, about six 1-second pulses, stopping to scrape bowl as needed. Heat remaining 1 tablespoons oil in no-empty skillet over medium high heat until shimmering. Add chopped button mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and moisture has evaporated, 6-8 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium and stir in porcini mushrooms, 1 tablespoons garlic, 1 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoons pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add vermouth and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated, 2-3 minutes.
• Add butter and cook until melted. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Add milk, scraping pan bottom to loosen brown bits. Add reserve porcini liquid and nutmeg. Increase heat to medium high and bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until sauce reaches consistency of heavy cream, 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons parsley and 1/4 cup basil.
• Combine fontina and Parmesan in medium bowl. Toss cooled portabello mushrooms with onions in large bowl. Place noodles in 13 X 9 inch ovensafe baking dish and cover with hot tap water; let soak 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Remove noodles from water and place in single layer on kitchen towel. Wipe baking dish dry and coat with butter.
• Using rubber spatula, evenly distribute 1 cup mushroom sauce in bottom of baking dish; position 3 noodles on top of sauce. Spread 3/4 cup mushroom sauce evenly over noodles followed by 2 cups mushroom-onion mixture and 3/4 cup cheese. Repeat layering of noodles, sauce, mushroom-onion mixture, and cheese two more times. Place 3 remaining noodles on top of last layer of cheese. Spread remaining sauce over noodles and sprinkle with remainin cheese. Lightly spray laarge sheet of foil with nonstick cooking spray and cover lasagna. Bake until bubbling, about 20 minutes.
• While lasagna is baking, combine remaining 2 tablespoons parsley, 2 tablespoons basil and 1 tsp garlic with zest in small bowl. Increase oven temperature to 500 degrees, remove foil from lasagna, and continue to bake until cheese on top becomes spotty brown, 6-8 minutes. Remove lasagna from oven and immediately sprinkle evenly with herb mixture. Cool for 15 minutes, then cut into pieces and serve.

BEEF AND MUSHROOM LASAGNA

Steps:

• For the meat sauce: Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Add the mushrooms, thyme and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and begin to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate and reserve.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in the Dutch oven over high heat. Add the ground beef and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon, until it browns, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, onions, rosemary and oregano. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the onions soften, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until it is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the wine, scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan and reduce until dry, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, reserved mushrooms, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the sauce is deep red and has reduced to 6 cups, about 40 minutes.
• For the bechamel: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, sprinkle in the flour and whisk to form a paste. Add the milk while continuing to whisk, raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick and creamy and has reduced to6 cups, about 10 minutes. Add the nutmeg and 1 teaspoon salt.
• To assemble: Butter the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch lasagna dish and cover with 3 lasagna sheets. Top with 1 1/2 cups each of the meat sauce and the bechamel and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the Parmesan. Repeat with the remaining pasta, meat sauce, bechamel and Parmesan for a total of 4 layers, ending with 1/2 cup of Parmesan. Cover with foil and bake until bubbly, about 40 minutes. Uncover and bake until the top becomes golden, about 10 minutes more. Let stand 20 minutes before serving.

MUSHROOM LASAGNA

Steps:

• Cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium-low heat, stirring, until the fat starts to render. Increase the heat and cook a few minutes more, until the pancetta barely begins to brown and crisp. Transfer it to a dish. Add the oil to the pan. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened. Stir in the mushrooms and sauté over medium heat until they wilt. Stir in the chestnuts and sage. Season with salt and pepper.
• Scald the milk. Melt 6 tablespoons butter or truffle butter on low heat in another saucepan. Whisk the flour into the melted butter. Cook briefly, then gradually whisk in the warm milk. Continue whisking and cooking until the sauce is thick and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with the remaining butter. Cover the bottom of the dish with a film of the sauce, then cover it with a layer of pasta. Spread with half the mushrooms, scatter half the pancetta on top and sprinkle with a third of the cheese. Spread a third of the sauce on the cheese. Repeat the layers. Cover with the remaining pasta, spread with the remaining sauce and scatter the rest of the cheese on top.
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is lightly browned.

MUSHROOM ALFREDO LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 deg.
• Spray pan with nonstick spray. The recipe called for using two 8X8 inch pans and freezing one. I'm going to try it in a 13X9.
• Cook the onions and mushrooms in hot olive oil until tender, add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add wine and cook over medium high heat until the liquid is reduced, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
• In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, egg, and Italian seasoning.
• Pour into pan(s) enough alfredo sauce to coat bottom. Add a layer of noodles. Spoon 1/4 (if using two pans) or 1/2 (if using one) of mushroom mixture over noodles. Sprinkle with mozzarella.
• Add a layer of noodles, and one of cottage cheese (using all). Add the diced tomatoes. The directions specify including the juice from the can, but I'm dubious. Use your own judgement.
• Add a layer of noodles, top with rest of mushroom mixture. Pour over remaining alfredo sauce. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella.
• Cover with nonstick aluminum foil and bake 50 minutes with foil on, 5 with foil off. Time may vary if using one pan.
• The freezing directions say bake the lasagna for 50 minutes, recover with foil, and freeze. (I have always frozen my lasagnas uncooked and will try that first, myself)
• Reheating instructions say defrost in fridge for 24 hrs, let stand at room temp, uncovered, for 30 min, then reheat covered for 30 minutes at 325 and five more uncovered at 375. Since I will probably freeze mine uncooked, I will follow the defrosting instructions, but cook it for the full 50 min + 5 (or more if it looks underdone).

MUSHROOM LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook 9 lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
• While the noodles are cooking, heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add both mushrooms and onion; cook and stir until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add parsley, prosciutto, garlic, and Italian seasoning; cook for 2 minutes longer. Add wine; cook and stir until liquid has evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Spread sauce in the bottom of the prepared pan. Layer with 3 noodles, 1 1/3 cups sauce, and a scant amount of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat with the next 2 layers.
• Combine cream, milk, and remaining mozzarella and Parmesan in a small bowl. Spoon over lasagna.
• Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
