    Cheesy Lasagna

    12 to 15 lasagna noodles, preferably no-boil noodles; see notes

    8 ounces (226g) whole milk ricotta cheese

    8 ounces (226g) mascarpone cheese

    1 cup (2oz) grated Parmigiano

    Reggiano or Grana Padano cheese

    1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

    1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

    1 large egg, lightly beaten

    16oz mushroom slices or dice up

    8 ounces (226g) mozzarella, shredded, 2 packed cups

    5 ounces (142g) fontina cheese, thinly sliced or shredded

    3 cups homemade red pasta sauce or use one 28-ounce jar of spaghetti sauce

    Pasta sauce homemade(another recipe)

    Optional add: 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces and add turkey ground for more lean.

    Directions

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 13×9 inch baking dish, or use non-stick cooking spray.
    • Combine ricotta, mascarpone, parmesan, salt, pepper, and the beaten egg in a medium bowl. Mix well.
    • Spread 1 cup of sauce evenly over the bottom of your prepared baking dish. Place 3 to 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, overlapping slightly. Break noodles into smaller pieces to fill any large gaps.
    • Spread half of the cheese filling over the noodles, followed by half of the mushroom or basil . Add another layer of noodles, then spread 1 cup of sauce over them. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella and half of the fontina cheese. Repeat these steps: add noodles, the rest of the cheese filling, the remaining basil, noodles, and sauce. Finish by sprinkling the rest of the mozzarella and fontina cheese.
    • If your lasagna dish is very full, place it on a baking sheet to catch any sauce or cheese that might bubble over.
    • Bake the lasagna, uncovered, until the cheese is bubbly and the noodles are cooked through, about 30 minutes. For a golden-brown top, broil for 1 to 2 minutes.
    • Let your lasagna cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
