HANDCRAFTED MUSHROOM LASAGNA

Steps:

• For the pasta: Place the flour and semolina the bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, salt and egg yolk. Mix the flour and semolina for 1 minute, then pour in the egg mixture and mix for another minute. Add 3/4 cup warm water. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the pasta dough comes together. Remove the dough from the mixer and wrap in plastic wrap. Let rest for 15 minutes. Using a pasta roller, roll the dough into thin sheets, according to the pasta machine directions, and cut the sheets into approximate 2-by-4-inch rectangles
• Dust the pasta squares lightly with semolina and place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 2 days
• For the fresh ricotta: Place the milk, vinegar and salt into a large, thick-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to 185 degrees F, stirring occasionally.
• Without stirring, let simmer for 20 minutes. Set a strainer over a large non-reactive bowl or container and line a strainer with cheesecloth. Remove the milk mixture from the heat and gently ladle into the strainer. Let drain for 20 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Will keep for up to one week. When ready to use the ricotta, be sure to reserve the whey water.
• For the mushrooms: Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and onions. Saute the onions until translucent, and then add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute, and then add the mushrooms and some salt and pepper. Saute the mushrooms until golden. Add the white wine and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the stock, Swiss chard and butter. Taste and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Keep the mushrooms warm.
• To serve: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta squares. Cook the pasta to just al dente and add immediately to the hot mushroom mixture. Toss to coat. Taste and add lemon juice, salt and pepper as needed.
• On each plate, create a mound of overlapping pasta and mushrooms, top with a dollop of fresh ricotta and garnish with a fresh bay leaf.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SWISS CHARD LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss your sliced butternut squash with a couple tablespoons of olive oil, and spread the squash onto the baking sheet. If it doesn't all fit use a second baking sheet, or layer it. Roast for 30 minutes, until tender, but not too mushy. RESIST TEMPTATION: DO NOT EAT IT ALL BEFORE YOU FINISH THE OTHER PARTS OF THE LASAGNA ; ).
• While the squash is roasting you can complete the other parts....
• SAUCE.
• Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a sauce pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic, and cook until golden (be careful not to burn it). Reduce the heat, and carefully pour the tomato sauce into the pan. It might start to pop, so keep the lid nearby. Stir the garlic and sauce, then add the nutritional yeast, herbs and black pepper. Cover, and allow the sauce to cook while you work on the next part.
• SWISS CHARD & MUSHROOMS.
• Heat a tablespoon, or two, of olive oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and a generous pinch of sea salt, and stir. The cooking will draw the moisture out of the mushrooms, so don't worry if the pan seems too dry. Once they've begun to sweat (moisten), add the swiss chard, tarragon, and rosemary. Stir well, and remove from heat.
• TOFU "CHEESE".
• Break the tofu up and place it in a food processor. Process until smooth, then add the nutritional yeast, vinegar and salt. Process again to incorporate it all, and taste to see if you need to add any more salt.
• ASSEMBLE THE LASAGNA.
• Now that you've got all the parts complete you can assemble the lasagna.
• To do this you will place a layer of squash on the bottom of the baking dish. Follow that with some of the "cheese", follow that with some of the mushroom mix (squeeze excess liquid from the mushrooms and greens before layering), then the sauce, then the squash again. Continue to layer the ingredients until you've used them all. Use about 1/2 cup of "cheese", sauce and mushrooms on each layer. I like my top layer to have all the ingredients visible.
• Place the lasagna back in the oven and bake for 40 minutes (or 30 if you just can't wait).

SWISS-CHARD LASAGNA

LASAGNA WITH CHARD, TOMATO SAUCE AND RICOTTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil while you prepare the chard. Fill a bowl with ice water. Tear the leaves from the stems and wash thoroughly in two changes of water. Discard the stems or set aside for another purpose.
• When the water comes to a boil, add the Swiss chard leaves. Boil 1 minute (from the time the water comes back to a boil), until tender but still bright green, then remove from the water with a slotted spoon or skimmer and transfer to the ice water. Drain and squeeze out excess water. Chop coarsely and set aside. Cook the lasagna noodles in the same pot of water if not using no-boil lasagna. Remove from the pot and toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil in a bowl.
• In a wide, nonstick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, sugar, basil sprig, and salt (begin with 1/2 teaspoon and add more later), and bring to a simmer. Simmer, stirring often, until thick, 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the amount of juice in the pan. Taste and adjust seasonings. Remove the basil sprig. Stir in the Swiss chard and remove from the heat.
• Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Oil a square or rectangular baking dish (no bigger than 2-quart) and line the bottom with a layer of lasagna noodles. Spread half the ricotta over the noodles and half the tomato-chard sauce over the ricotta. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmesan over the tomato-chard sauce. Add another layer of noodles and top with the remaining ricotta and tomato-chard sauce, and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Finish with a layer of noodles and the remaining Parmesan. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the top. Cover the dish tightly with foil. Bake 30 minutes, or until bubbling and the pasta is tender. Uncover, allow to sit for 5 minutes, and serve.
