Ingredients:
- 16 cremini mushrooms
- 1 yellow onion
- 2-4 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 package frozen chopped spinach
- A pinch of ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
- 8 tablespoons fat-free chicken broth
- 1 cup Gorgonzola cheese
- 8 tablespoons heavy cream
- 8 lasagna noodles
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
Recipe Instructions:
-
In a medium skillet over moderate heat, sauté mushrooms, chopped onions, and garlic in oil until mushrooms give off their juices and darken, and onions are tender, about 7 or 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; the salt will help draw water out of the vegetables as they cook.
-
Add dry chopped spinach to the pan and heat through for 1 minute. Adjust seasonings with salt, pepper, and a little nutmeg.
-
Add ricotta and stir into the mixture to heat cheese through, 1 minute longer. Remove pan from heat but leave in the warm skillet.
-
Heat broth in a small pan over moderate heat. Melt Gorgonzola into broth and bring the liquid to a bubble. Stir in cream and thicken sauce for 2 minutes.
-
Place cooked lasagna noodles on a large work surface or cutting board. Spread lasagna noodles with a layer of spinach-mushroom filling.
-
Roll up pasta and arrange the 8 bundles in a shallow casserole dish.
-
Pour warm sauce over roll-ups and top with mozzarella.
-
Place casserole under the broiler to melt cheese.
-
Serve with steamed asparagus and broiled tomatoes.
