\"1122-Lasagna-Florentine\"<\/a>
\n 1 pound spinach — fresh
\n 1 pound mushroom — fresh sliced
\n 1 cup onion — chopped
\n 2 tablespoons olive oil
\n 1 cup bechamel sauce
\n nutmeg — fresh
\n 15 ounces ricotta cheese
\n 1 cup Parmesan cheese — freshly grated
\n 1 egg
\n 1 teaspoon salt
\n 1 teaspoon pepper
\n 1 teaspoon basil — dried
\n 1 tablespoon oregano — dried
\n 1 package lasagna noodles — fresh
\n 3 cups mozzarella cheese — fresh
\n 1 can tomato sauce — small size<\/p>\n

Blanch the spinach, drain pressing out excess moisture and set aside.
\nSaute the sliced mushrooms until they release their moisture and it cooks
\noff. Add the onions and saute until they are transparent. Add the garlic.
\nAdd a little more oil if needed, a couple of tablespoons of flour and cook
\nfor a few minutes. Add milk to make your bechamel. Make sure it’s rather
\nthick. Taste and add a generous grating of fresh nutmeg. Set aside until
\ncool.<\/p>\n

Cook the lasagne noodles until just slightly underdone. Drain.
\nMix ricotta, 1\/2 of the Parmesan, egg, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano.(Rub
\nthe basil and oregano between your hands as you add it to release the
\nnatural oils).<\/p>\n

Add the cooled spinach mixture to the ricotta mixture and combine gently.<\/p>\n

Oil the bottom of your baking pan with a little olive oil. Start your layers
\nwith the noodles then the ricotta-spinach mixture and so forth until you
\nhave about 4 layers.ending with a noodle layer Top with the remaining
\nParmesan cheese. Add the mozzarella cheese. I used the marinated fresh
\nmozzarella which has a wonderful basil flavor. I get it at the deli counter
\nat my supermarket. They are the small balls about the size of a large
\nmarble. I slice them up and arrange on top of the lasagne. Add one small can
\nof tomato sauce. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 350F for 1 hour.<\/p>\n

Remove from the oven after 1 hour and let it rest for 30 minutes before
\ncutting.
\nYou can assemble this a day ahead if you like. It’s always wonderful
\nreheated.<\/p>\n

The important thing with this recipe is to use all fresh ingredients. If you
\ncan’t buy the fresh lasagna noodles you can use the dry but It would not be
\nas tasty. Serves 6 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
