This was the case with Sheila (you met her here). Both her and Mishelle came across a farmers market somewhere in the catskills... i think... racked up on goodies and the cooking ensued. I may still be food drunk from all the goodness and wine.
And lucky for you Sheila was kind enough to share her recipe. I have yet to try it on my own but i can't wait to get started. Maybe is should host my own dinner party. Here some yummy photos and at the bottom you will find the step by step instructions.
Our host and chef Sheila in true form. She may hate me for this one. ;0)
Appetizer: Roasted mushroom tapenade on toasted french baguette and my favorite cheap wine ever, Mirassou. (Thanks Anat, for getting me into this wine)
Getting started...
Viola (no meat)
Dinner is served!
There's a dance party in her head at all times. At all times. This is how we spent most of our Spain trip earlier in the year. EPIC!
The lovelies: Mishelle, Sheila, & Eryn
Yours truly, Shelly, & Eryn. (the hair has got to go soon. ugh)
**LASAGNA**
- 1 box lasagna pasta
- 1 16 oz. container of ricotta
- 1 12-16 oz. jar of tomato sauce
- 1 small yellow onion
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 container baby portobello mushrooms
- Breadcrumbs
- Romano cheese for grating
- Italian seasoning (or oregano, basil and/or parsley)
Bring large pot of salted water to boil. In the meantime, chop garlic, onion and mushrooms and saute at Med high heat in 2 tbsp olive oil. Lightly oil an 8X12 (or similar sized) casserole dish. Preheat oven to 375 F.
When water is boiling, add pasta and boil for 4 minutes. Strain; now cover pasta with cold water and a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking. Add ricotta to medium-size mixing bowl and fold in the sauteed mixture. Season with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.
Now you're ready to make lasagna! Layer bottom of casserole dish with tomato sauce, then add one layer of pasta. Spoon ricotta mixture over, sprinkle breadcrumbs and grate romano. Repeat layers until dish dish is full. Bake until bubbly and serve!
Happy Monday and Buen Provecho Lovers!
