Cook for about 7-10 minutes, until mushrooms are browned and have released their liquid. - Do the same process with the second batch of mushrooms. - Preheat the oven to 375F degrees. - Sauté the shallots and garlic in the same pan the mushrooms were cooked in until soft. Toss them with the mushrooms. - Place a layer of bechamel sauce in the bottom of a 8x13" baking dish. Add a layer of noodles. - Add the sliced tomatoes and half of the mushrooms. Add dollops of ricotta cheese and mozzarella over the mixture and sprinkle with Romano. - Cover with another layer of noodles and spread a light layer of bechamel sauce over the top. - Add the second half of the mushrooms and dollop with the ricotta cheese, then sprinkle with Romano. - Add the last layer of noodles. Top with the remaining bechamel sauce and sprinkle with the Mozzarella cheese. - Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes uncovered. - Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes. Slice and serve. == Bechamel Sauce == - Heat the butter in a saucepan until melted and add the flour, whisking constantly for 2-3 minutes. - Add the milk, a little at a time, whisking constantly, until a sauce is formed. - Remove from heat and stir in the nutmeg, salt and pepper. Set the béchamel sauce aside while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Expert Tips: * The mushrooms must be cooked before adding them to the lasagna - otherwise there will be too much moisture. * Two skillets can be used to cook the mushrooms to save time. * Uncovering the lasagna during the last 15 of baking allows the cheese to brown on top. * Be sure to whisk constantly when adding the milk to the bechamel sauce to keep it from getting lumpy. Add the milk SLOWLY. {{tag>lasagna tomatoes mushrooms chanterelles ricotta mozzarella romano garlic bechamel milk butter flour}} ~~NOTOC~~ ~~DISCUSSION|Notes~~
