Ah my first ever blog post. How exciting.... except not. See I was planning on having a fabulous first entry about wild mushroom lasagne - which Nick and I saw while watching What to Eat Now, my newest favorite cooking show ever, mostly because the host, Valentine Warner makes these really funny faces whenever he eats his food. Its like everything he eats is slightly orgasmic. So deciding we must experience this food ecstasy were convinced to make his lasagne recipe which can be found here..
Ok so we here goes our version...
We started with about a pound and a half of mushrooms, we used baby portabella, chestnut, and oyster.
We then sauteed them in olive oil until the water boiled off, then added some thyme from our garden and two cloves of garlic.
It was definitely smelling promising at this point. Set the mushrooms aside and sautee the spinach with some olive oil and nutmeg. Make sure you drain the spinach. Now we were ready to layer up our lasagne. Mushrooms, then goat cheese, then spinach, a drizzle of olive oil, and some black pepper. We did three layers then topped it off with some pecorino romano cheese and some more olive oil. The we drizzled some cream over the whole thing. Yeah.... heart attack in the making. I know.
Stick it in the oven at 200 C, which is about 390 F, for 30-40 min.
And you will end up with this....
Does it look less than fabulous to you? Yeah it was. See we accidently bought "no precooking required" lasagne sheets. I thought I'd had them before and they were pretty bad, but that was awhile ago and I thought maybe they'd be better this time.I was SO wrong. So the moral of the story is when making lasagne you have two options....
A.) Make your own lasagne sheets
B.) Buy lasagne sheets that you must cook first
But under no circumstances get no precooking required lasagne sheets.... unless you want a crunchy lasagne.
Yuck!
