Ingredients
- Butter, for greasing the baking dish
Sauce:
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups warm whole milk
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded smoked mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated Parmesan
- Pinch ground nutmeg
- 8 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, coarsely chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus extra, as needed
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, plus more, as needed
Filling:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus extra, as needed
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 pounds assorted mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake and button, quartered
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 9 spinach-flavored or plain lasagna noodles
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded smoked mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated Parmesan
- Olive oil, for drizzling
Directions
Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Set aside.
Sauce: In a 2-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually add the warm milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce is thick and smooth, about 8 minutes (do not allow the mixture to boil). Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheeses and nutmeg. Stir until the cheeses have melted and the sauce is smooth. Add the prosciutto, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper.
Filling: In a large skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook, stirring frequently until soft, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms, rosemary and thyme and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and the liquid has evaporated, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the noodles and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
To assemble the lasagna: Ladle 1/2 cup of the sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Lay 3 pasta noodles on top. Spoon 1/2 of the mushroom mixture on top of the pasta. Ladle 1 cup of the sauce over the mushroom mixture and lay 3 more noodles on top. Repeat the layers using the remaining mushroom mixture, 1 cup of sauce and the remaining 3 noodles. Top with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with 1 cup smoked mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Drizzle the top with olive oil and bake until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Cut the lasagna into wedges and serve.

This would be wonderful if it wasn't so salty!! I will make it again, but half the salt. The smoked mozzarella is great. Loved the creamy texture. I used a combination of mushrooms which was really good. Thanks for the comments on prep time. I agree and tried to get as much done ahead of time as I could. It was certainly worth the time.

I changed this recipe quite a bit but it was still delicious. I halved the recipe and baked it in an 8x8. I did not add proscuitto to the sauce because I added crumbled hot italian sausage to the filling instead, where I used portabellas. I was nervous the smoked mozzarella was going to be overpowering but it wasn't at all, great dish!

Maybe if you have a sous chef! First, this recipe does not take 30 min to prepare. It took 30 min just to clean the cut the mushrooms. Start to oven, it took 2 hours and 15 minutes. Now I may be slow, but come on. There is no way anyone could get this done in 30 min.
Next, I skipped all the salt except 1 tsp in the bechemel sauce. (Hello? All the cheeses and the proscuitto add PLENTY of salt! And my husband still thought it was too salty.
Next time, I would wait to make the sauce until after the filling is done. (Like Giada did in the video. Because my sauce sat with the proscuitto in it for over an hour. The salt content tasted fine when I was done with it. But after it sat? Wow! Salty. The proscuitto had leeched salt into the sauce - big time! So leave the sauce for last. Or just leave out the meat until right before assembly.
Too many drawbacks for me to make again, even for a special occasion.
