Gorgonzola Lasagna




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




6 lasagna noodles*
Gorgonzola Sauce (see below)
Zucchini, sliced appx. 1/3" thick
3/4 pound mushrooms, cut into chunks
1 large or 2 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded and sliced appx. 1/3" thick
Fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped or torn into strips
8 ounces mozzarella, shredded
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (for topping)



Recipe



If using the no-boil noodles, boil them for 2 minutes, otherwise they don't get done enough.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and set each noodle flat on paper towels. Do not stack lasagna noodles (they will stick to each other and you cannot separate them).

Use a small baking dish (appx. 9" x 7" x 2 1/2"). Smear a little Gorgonzola Sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Layer as follows:

First Layer: lasagna noodles, zucchini, basil, mozzarella cheese, & Gorgonzola Sauce.

Second Layer: lasagna noodles, mushrooms, basil, mozzarella cheese, & Gorgonzola Sauce.

Third Layer: lasagna noodles, sliced tomatoes, basil, and Gorgonzola Sauce; top with parmesan cheese

Cover dish tightly with foil, (tenting slightly to prevent foil from touching top layer). Bake in middle of oven for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes or until top is bubbling. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Makes 2 servings.

Gorgonzola Sauce
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup half and half
1/4 to 1/2 cup Gorgonzola cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and blend thoroughly. When perfectly smooth and free from lumps (but not in the least browned), add garlic. Gradually add half and half; reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce boils. Add gorgonzola cheese (it is difficult to gauge how much to use because the cheese varies in ripness - use just enough so you can smell the cheese) and stir until well blended. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat
