Mushroom Marsala Lasagna
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped shallots
2 teaspoons salt
2 pounds cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 pound portobello mushrooms, sliced
1 cup marsala wine
1 cup flour
½ teaspoon nutmeg
3 cups milk
½ cup cup grated Parmesan
⅓ cup chopped Italian parsley
3 cups mix of grated Fontina and Gruyère
9 no-boil lasagna noodles
Fresh cracked pepper, to taste (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In Dutch oven or other large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add shallots and salt and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add half the mushrooms to the pot and saute for about 5 minutes before adding the remaining mushrooms and cooking for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the marsala and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in flour and nutmeg and cook for a minute. Add milk and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes or until sauce has thickened a little. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan and parsley.
To assemble the lasagna, spread some of the sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Layer the dish with a layer of 3 lasagna noodles followed by mushroom sauce and grated cheese. Cover dish loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil from dish and bake for additional 15-20 minutes, allowing cheese to brown. Remove lasagna from oven, season with fresh cracked pepper, and allow to sit for a few minutes before serving.
