Spinach and Mushroom Lasagna Roll-ups with Gorgonzola Cream Sauce
Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray

Ingredients
16 cremini caps, cleaned with a damp towel and finely
chopped in food processor
1 small yellow-skinned onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons (2 turns around the pan) extra-virgin olive oil
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
Salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg or the equivalent of freshly grated
2 cups part skim ricotta
8 curly edge lasagna noodles, cooked to al dente (12 to 14 minutes)
1 cup fat free chicken broth

8 ounces Gorgonzola, crumbled
1/2 cup (3 turns around the pan) heavy cream
1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
Serving suggestions:
Steamed asparagus (2 small or 1 large bundle asparagus)
Broiled tomatoes (4 vine-ripe tomatoes)

Directions
In a medium skillet over moderate heat, saute
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

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
liquid to a bubble. Stir in cream and thicken sauce 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 broiler to melt cheese. Serve with
steamed asparagus and broiled tomatoes.

Ingredients
Steamed Asparagus Tips:
2 small or 1 large bundle asparagus

Directions
While you boil your lasagna noodles, place fresh
asparagus tips in a small colander over the boiling water in the pasta pot. Place
a lid on the colander and steam asparagus while you are cooking your pasta for 4
minutes or until tips are just tender.

Ingredients
Roasted Tomatoes:
4 vine-ripe tomatoes

Directions
Split 4 vine ripe tomatoes across the center and
drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Broil tomatoes.
Serve along side your completed casserole. Top with any fresh herb you have on

hand: basil, thyme, or rosemary.
