Here was today's menu for the cooking group I attend monthly.
I volunteered to take the following ingredients in, for these recipes.
Everyone loved it! I also took in some garlic bread.
Recipes For November 9, 2012
Broccoli And Mushroom Lasagna
Makes: 8 servings
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cups (1%) milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
We omitted this, and added garlic powder instead.
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
2 heads broccoli, cut into florets
10 ounces sliced mixed mushrooms
12 traditional lasagna noodles (from a 16-ounce package)
1 15 ounce container ricotta cheese, mixed with 1 egg
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish with
nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a medium saucepan, whisk flour and 1 cup of the milk until smooth.
Stir in remaining 2 1/2 cups milk and bring to a boil; boil for 3 minutes,
whisking constantly, until thickened. Whisk in salt, pepper, nutmeg and 1/2
cup of the Parmesan. Set aside.
3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add
broccoli and cook 4 minutes; add mushrooms during last minute of cooking
time. Using a slotted spoon, remove broccoli and mushrooms to a bowl. In the
same pot, cook lasagna noodles following package directions, about 10
minutes. Drain.
4. Assemble lasagna: Spread 1/2 cup of the cheese sauce in bottom of
prepared dish. Place 3 noodles over sauce, evenly spread ricotta mixture
over top and add another layer of noodles. Spoon on vegetables, 2 cups of
the sauce and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella. Place another layer of noodles over
vegetables and top with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of cheese and remaining
noodles. Evenly spread the remaining 1 cup of sauce over top and sprinkle
with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
5. Cover with nonstick foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes;
uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Allow to stand 10 minutes
before serving.
