A New Day ~ A New Recipe

So I just found this great recipe on one of the other blogs I subscribe to. It came from a "Gooseberry Patch" cookbook. I am a huge fan of "Gooseberry Patch" and this recipe looked great, though I might be tempted to add some chicken or shrimp to it. After all, I like my meat. I will never be a vegetarian. I guess if I didn't add meat to the actual recipe, I'd make it as a side dish.  =)


Here it is ~ the recipe for "White Lasagna"

Ingredients
  • 8 oz Lasagna Noodles- uncooked
  • 3 T Butter
  • 1 t Lemon Juice
  • 16 oz Sliced Mushrooms
  • 1/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 t Salt
  • 1/8 t Cayenne Pepper
  • 2 1/2 Cup Milk
  • 2 T Fresh Parsley
  • Pepper to taste
  • 16 oz Ricotta or Cottage Cheese
  • 1/2 Cup Grated Parm
Instructions
  1. Prepare lasagna noodles.
  2. Melt butter in a sauce pan.
  3. Add juice and mushrooms. Cook until golden.
  4. Add flour, salt and cayenne pepper and gradually add in the milk.
  5. Stir constantly until sauce thickens.
  6. Pour half of the sauce in the bottom of the pan and layer noodles, then ricotta.
  7. Repeat noodles and ricotta until the pan is filled. top with remaining sauce and sprinkle parm on top.
  8. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
  9. Let set for 15 minutes, then serve.

* I'm also not a huge fan of ricotta, so I'd be using cottage cheese  =)
