CREAMY SPINACH AND MUSHROOM LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9- by 13- by 1-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Set aside.
• For the vegetables: In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the mushrooms, onions, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and any liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated, about 20 minutes.
• For the sauce: In a heavy-bottomed 5-quart saucepan, bring the cream, milk and flour to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly for 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Add the Pecorino and the mozzarella. Whisk until the cheeses have melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the spinach, basil, garlic, salt and pepper.
• Add the mushroom mixture to the sauce and stir to combine. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Cut the Fresh Pasta dough in quarters and press flat. Run each piece of pasta dough several times through a pasta-rolling machine adjusting the setting each time until the pasta is about 1/16-inch thick. Cut the pasta into six 12- by 4-inch rectangles (reserve any pasta trimmings for another use). The pasta dough can also be rolled out by hand. Cut the chilled dough into quarters and using a rolling pin, roll out the dough until 1/8 to 1/16-inch thick.
• Spread 1 cup of the sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange 2 sheets of pasta on top in a single layer. Spread 2 cups of the sauce over the pasta sheets. Repeat the layers with the remaining pasta sheets and sauce, ending with the sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Drizzle with olive oil and bake until the filling is bubbling and the top is golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 20 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.
• Place the cake flour, all-purpose flour, egg yolks and salt in a food processor. Pulse to combine. With the machine running, gradually add the oil then 1/3 to 1/2 cup water until the mixture forms a dough (the dough should stick together if pinched between your fingers). If necessary, add additional water, 1 teaspoon at a time if the dough is too dry.
• Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Gather the dough into a ball and knead until the dough is smooth, 5 to 8 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

SPINACH MUSHROOM LASAGNA

Steps:

• Step one:
• Heat the about 2 to 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large saucepan, add the butter, the garlic, and the chopped onion until it gets a bit lucent, then add the chopped red pepper, the chopped mushrooms and add in the ground Italian sausage.
• Then add the chopped tomatoes, chopped basil, salt and pepper and then let it simmer for about 45 minutes so that the liquid from the diced tomatoes reduces nicely. Taste and depending on your personal preferences, add in a tablespoon of honey, sugar or agave. This will balance out the acidity.
• Step two:
• In a large mixing bowl put the ricotta, chopped spinach, half of the mozzarella, ½ of the Parmigiano-Reggiano, and the egg yolks and mix until it has an even consistency. Then add in the grated nutmeg as well as the salt and pepper.
• Step three:
• Using a Pyrex 3-Qt Rectangular glass baking dish, or oven ready ceramic dish, or a rectangular cast iron Le Creuset. All will work just great.
• Layer a bit of olive oil and sauce at the bottom of the pan and top with three of the uncooked lasagna sheets or four of the curly cooked lasagna noodles. Top with more sauce, then add a layer of the ricotta cheese mixture. Repeat with two more layers and end on top with lasagna sheets. Top with sauce and the remaining mozzarella and Parmigiano Reggiano.
• Step four:
• Bake uncovered in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F. until cooked through and brown and bubbling on top. 60 to 70 minutes.
• The lasagna can also be stored before or after baking for a make-ahead meal. If reheating after a previous cooking, bake at 375 degrees F covered for 40 to 45 minutes.
• Step five:
• Let the lasagna rest for 15 to 20 minutes before cutting and serving. Serve with a little of the parmesan cheese along with your favorite side dish. We love to complement it with a Caesar Salad and of course some baked garlic bread. Don't forget your favorite glass of wine.
