Ingredients
- 250g (half recipe) queenketo pasta #2 lasagna sheets
- 350g fresh mushrooms (I used 250g chestnut + 100g oyster)
- 250g streaky bacon
- 80g Mascarpone (or 80g double cream)
- 120g créme fraîche (or 120g sour cream)
- 50g extra mature Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 60g Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (freshly grated)
- a sprinkle of organic broth granules
- 2 handfuls fresh parsley (2 TBSP chopped)
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- freshly ground black pepper
- fine Himalayan pink salt
- 10g unsalted butter (room temperature)
Instructions
- pan-fry bacon, then remove it from the pan, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
- let the bacon cool, cut it into small pieces and set it aside.
- place cleaned and sliced mushrooms in the bacon frying pan, together with minced garlic, broth granules and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- sauté mushrooms until most of the water has evaporated, then add chopped parsley, créme fraîche, Mascarpone, Cheddar and 20g Parmigiano; adjust seasoning to taste.
- pre-heat grill (broiler) to medium-high or oven to 200°C fan.
- smear butter over the base and sides of a suitable baking dish (Pyrex works best in my opinion), using the correct size to accommodate at least 2 layers.
- place pre-cut lasagna sheets on the bottom of the dish; if planning 2 layers, add ½ of the mushrooms and ½ of the bacon pieces.
- repeat above step until you've completed all layers.
- sprinkle remaining Parmigiano over the top and grill (broil) or bake for about 15 minutes, until the cheese has caramelised and formed a golden crust.
- rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
This is a very satisfying dish, so portions of ⅓rd size are adequate as main course. You could also serve 4 portions as an accompaniment to meat of your choice.
If the mushroom sauce seems too thick, you can thin it out with 1-2 tbsp almond or coconut milk.
Tastes even better when re-heated next day.
