Steps for Preparing and Cooking Lasagna with Bechamel and Mushrooms:

  • Prepare the bechamel without butter following HERE the recipe, just be careful that compared to the original recipe the ingredients are in larger quantities.

  • In a pan, put the oil and a garlic clove, when it is hot add the frozen mushrooms (if you want you can also use fresh ones), cook them for 5 minutes, deglaze with the white wine, add a sprinkle of parsley if desired, salt and cook for another 10 minutes.

    On the sides of the dish, add a bit of whole milk to make the preparation even creamier after baking.

  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20/25 minutes following the cooking times of the lasagna.
