If you are a mushroom lover like I am, your going to like this simple White Lasagna recipe…
Psst..you can find this baby in Gooseberry Patch’s new 101 Hearty Recipes.
You start by boilin’ up a box of lasagna noodles per the box instructions…
Meanwhile in a large skillet near you, melt up 3 Tablespoons of butter.
Truth be told, I like to use my Cuisinart Saute Skillet for dishes like this that involve sauces, gravies and also those one pot dishes that can go straight from the skillet to the oven. I really love this skillet because it gives me all the great stainless steel qualities of an All-Clad
skillet at half the price 😉
Add in 16 oz of sliced mushrooms…
And, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and saute until the shrooms are golden.
Add in 1/4 cup of flour…
1 teaspoon of salt
and 1/8 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper and blend until smooth.
Gradually add in 2 1/2 cups milk and stir constantly until sauce thickens.
Then add in 2 Tablespoons of fresh parsley- chopped…. Mmmm… LOVE fresh parsley!
Now that the sauce is done, pour half of it into a large casserole dish.
And begin layering noodles…
and then some ricotta or cottage cheese. (Psst… I also add some fresh black pepper)
Continue layering and then top with remaining sauce.
Then top with 1/2 cup grated parm… I was out of fresh, so I used the powdered stuff.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes and then let stand for 15 minutes.
Then dig in!
It was quite yummy, however, next time we will probably add in some of Heather’s awesome fresh pork sausage — it would be a great addition to this recipe.

Very good recipe! I made this once for my husband and a few friends. They
Loved it! My kids were requesting it to be made again but I
found it to be a bit labor intensive, but it was well worth it. So delicious lasagna!
