Meatless Spinach Mushroom Lasagna Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles, stirring to keep them from sticking; cook until pliable but al dente, about 6 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Separate the noodles with your fingers; set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Scatter in the mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, until browned on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir, then continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are well browned and no liquid remains in the pan, about 5 more minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; stir in the spinach, garlic and thyme and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Set aside to cool slightly, breaking up any clumps of spinach with a wooden spoon or a fork.
• Mix the ricotta, 1/2 cup Parmesan, the egg and parsley in a medium bowl. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• To assemble, spread 1 cup marinara sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange 8 noodles in the dish perpendicular to the long sides so that 4 noodles hang over one long side and 4 hang over the other long side; the noodles should meet in the center of the dish. You'll use the overhanging noodles to create the top layer.
• Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles in an even layer. Top with half of the spinach mixture. Sprinkle with one-third each of the mozzarella and Fontina. Spread 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce on top, then arrange the remaining 4 noodles parallel to a long side over the sauce. Press down slightly to compress the layers. Spread the remaining ricotta mixture over the noodles and top with the remaining spinach mixture. Sprinkle with another third of the mozzarella and Fontina. Spread with 1 cup sauce. Fold the overhanging noodles over the top of the lasagna and spread the remaining 1 cup sauce over the noodles. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella, Fontina and 1/4 cup Parmesan.
• Cover the dish with foil, tenting it so it doesn't touch the cheese. Place on a baking sheet. Bake until bubbly around the edges, about 40 minutes. Uncover and bake until browned and crusty on top, 20 to 30 more minutes. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing.

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.
