===== Directions =====
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the butter and add half the mushrooms. 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.
