Sausage And Mushroom Lasagna Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Place the sausage in a skillet over medium heat and cook until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain the sausage and set aside.
• To make bechamel sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk in the flour. Allow the flour and butter to cook until light and foamy, about 2 minutes, whisking constantly; whisk in milk, a little at a time. Whisk in the salt and nutmeg and bring the sauce to a bare simmer, whisking constantly until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove sauce from the heat and set aside.
• In a bowl, beat the egg and stir in the ricotta cheese and parsley until thoroughly combined.
• To assemble lasagna, pour about 1 1/2 cup of marinara sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and top the sauce with 4 lasagna noodles, overlapping if necessary. On the noodles, layer 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, followed by 1/3 of the cooked sausage, 1/3 cup of mushrooms, 1/4 of the bechamel sauce, 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese, 1/8 cup of the Parmesan cheese and 1 more cup of marinara sauce. Repeat the layers twice more, ending with a final layer of noodles topped with a layer of marinara sauce, bechamel sauce, the remaining mozzarella cheese, and remaining Parmesan cheese. Cover the dish with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and the noodles are tender, about 1 hour. Remove foil and bake until the top cheese layer is browned, about 5 more minutes. Allow the lasagna to stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium pot heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes with their juices, oregano, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook until the tomatoes soften and the sauce thickens, 20 minutes, breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon as they soften. Reserve 2/3 cup of the sauce for assembling the lasagna and set the rest aside.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms have released their liquid, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the sausage and continue to cook, breaking the sausage up with a spoon, until the sausage is browned and cooked through, another 10 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and stir to combine.
• Thinly slice about a quarter of the mozzarella and set aside; grate the rest on a box grater. Combine the grated cheese with the ricotta and the egg. Spread the reserved 2/3 cup tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with 1 pasta sheet, a third of the ricotta mixture and a third of the meat sauce. Repeat with the remaining pasta, ricotta and meat sauce. Cover with foil and bake until the sauce is bubbling around the edges and the pasta is tender, about 45 minutes. Remove the foil, top with the sliced mozzarella and continue to bake until the cheese is melted, 15 minutes more. Let stand for 20 minutes and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving with a green salad and some garlic bread.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Heat oil in large pot. Add mushrooms, onion, and seasoning blend; saute until vegetables begin to soften, about 6 minutes.
• Add sausage and saute until brown and cook through, breaking up with back of spoon, about 5 minutes.

• Spread 2/3 cup marinara over bottom of a 13x9x2 baking dish. Spread a layer of noodles over sauce. Spread 1 cup of sauce over noodles.
• Top with 1/3 cup ricotta, then 1 cup grated Italian cheese.
• Spoon 1/3 of sausage mixture over cheese layer.
• Repeat two more times. Sauce, noodles, ricotta, cheese, sausage.
• Cover loosely with foil and bake for 45 minutes; remove foil and bake until top browns (broiler works well too). Let stand for 15 minutes.Freezes well.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in frying pan and tip in the sausagemeat. Use a fork and wooden spoon to break up the meat as it cooks (it should look like mince). When browned and slightly crisp, add the garlic, mushrooms and thyme. Fry for 4-5 mins until the mushrooms are soft and golden.
• Cook the lasagne sheets following pack instructions, then drain. Stir the tomato paste, cherry tomatoes and 2 tbsp water into the sausage mixture. Cover and simmer for 6 mins. Remove the lid and crush the tomatoes with the back of your spoon, so that they break up a little. Bubble for a few mins and add seasoning.
• Put the crème fraîche, mustard, most of the cheddar and a little seasoning in a pan and melt together over a low heat.
• Heat the grill to high. Lay 1 sheet of lasagne in the bottom of a serving dish, letting it fold over on itself in places. Top with some of the sausage mixture and another lasagne sheet. Repeat the process, finishing with a layer of sausage mixture. Pour over the cheese sauce, and sprinkle with then remaining cheese, then grill until the top is bubbling.
• To make accompanying garlic bread: Heat oven to 200C/220C fan/gas 6. Cut 4-5 slices in 1 small bread roll (petit pain), making sure not to cut all the way through. Spread garlic butter in each gap. Wrap the roll in foil and bake for 8 mins. Unwrap the roll and bake for a further 5-6 mins.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Preheat a large skillet over med-high heat with 2 tablespoons olive oil and butter.

• Continue to cook over high heat until the liquids have evaporated-2 to 3 minutes.
• While the sausage and mushrooms are cooking down in the liquid-combine the ricotta cheese, egg, lemon zest, Parmigiano, and bread crumbs in a bowl.
• Brush an 8-inch springform pan or an 8x8 inch baking dish with a little olive oil; place 7 disks of the polenta on the bottom of the dish.
• If they overlap a little, that is fine (it will vary depending on what kind of dish you are using).
• Divide the sausage and mushroom mixture into 3 even portions; do the same with the ricotta mixture.
• Using the back of a spoon, spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture on top of the polenta (don't make yourself crazy doing this; just mush it out over the polenta).
• Top the ricotta with 1/3 of the sausage mixture.
• Repeat layers 2 more times, starting with polenta and finishing with sausage mixture.
• Sprinkle the top with mozzarella.
• Cover the baking dish with foil; place in oven; bake for 15-18 minutes.
• To make sure it is cooked through, insert a knife into the center of the dish, wait a few seconds, then remove it.
