Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
salt and black pepper
1 (15 ounce) package lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
16 ounces fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
3 medium zucchini, thickly sliced
3 large tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 (8 ounce) package mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; add flour and reduce heat to low, stirring to form a roux.
  • Stir in milk gradually, blending so that sauce is smooth.
  • Mix in onion powder, garlic, basil, parsley, oregano, and Parmesan cheese; stir and cook until mixture thickens; season to taste with salt and pepper, then keep warm over low heat, stirring occasionally, while you prepare lasagna.
  • In lasagna pan or 13 x 9 inch baking pan, spray with non-stick cooking spray or wipe with a little oil and a paper towel.
  • Spread 3 lasagna noodles across bottom, making sure entire bottom is covered; spread 1/3 of ricotta over noodles.
  • Place a layer of mushrooms, tomatoes and zucchini over ricotta, and spoon 1/4 of the sauce over the vegetables.
  • Repeat the layers 2 more times, topping the last cheese/vegetable layer with noodles (there may be a few noodles left over) and the remaining sauce.
  • Cover and bake for 40 minutes; uncover, sprinkle the top with mozzarella cheese and bake 10-12 minutes more, or until cheese is just starting to turn golden and lasagna is bubbly.
  • Allow to sit 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your lasagna a more complex flavor. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Season the mushrooms well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Use a good quality zucchini. This will make your lasagna more flavorful and tender.
  • Slice the zucchini thinly. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the zucchini. It should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Use a creamy sauce. This will help to bind the lasagna together and make it more flavorful.
  • Layer the lasagna carefully. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Bake the lasagna until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will take about 30 minutes.
  • Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This mushroom zucchini lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make vegetarian dish. It is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its creamy sauce, flavorful mushrooms, and tender zucchini, this lasagna is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
