Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 40 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 10 minutes Servings: 6 Ingredients For the filling: - 400 g fresh mushrooms (champignon or pleurotus mushrooms are excellent) - 250 g country-style ham or smoked bacon (choose a quality smoked meat for a richer taste) - 2 large onions, sliced into rings - 30 g butter - Dried or fresh basil (to taste) - Salt, to taste For the sauce: - 150 g butter - 100 g flour - 0.7 l milk (whole milk gives a creamier sauce) - 0.7 l tomato sauce (choose a natural tomato sauce, without additives) - Delikat or salt, to taste - 150 g grated cheese (for a delicious final layer) For the lasagna sheets: - About half a package of lasagna sheets (depending on the size of the dish used) Step by step 1. Preparing the filling: Start by melting the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and the smoked meat cut into thin slices. Let them sauté well, stirring occasionally. If you notice the mixture getting too dry, add a cup of water to facilitate cooking. Once the onions are translucent and the smoked meat has released its aroma, clean the mushrooms and slice them. Add the mushrooms to the skillet, stirring well. Allow them to cook until fully tender and have released their juices. Add basil and salt to taste, then turn off the heat. This will be the rich filling that makes your lasagna shine. 2. Preparing the sauce: In a pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and mix well until homogeneous, forming a roux. Then, start adding the milk gradually, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Once you have a creamy sauce, add the tomato sauce and continue mixing. Add a teaspoon of basil and season with Delikat or salt to taste. Turn off the heat and let the sauce cool slightly. 3. Assembling the lasagna: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. In a baking dish, start by spreading a layer of sauce on the bottom. Place the first layer of lasagna sheets over the sauce, followed by 3-4 tablespoons of sauce, then add some of the mushroom and smoked meat filling. Repeat this process: sauce, lasagna sheets, filling, until you run out of ingredients. Make sure the last layer consists of lasagna sheets, which you cover with sauce and sprinkle grated cheese on top. 4. Baking: Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling. The flavors will blend perfectly, and the lasagna will become an irresistible delicacy. Useful tip For an extra burst of flavor, try adding some sliced black olives or roasted peppers to the filling. These ingredients can completely transform the taste of the lasagna, adding a touch of originality. Pairing and serving This mushroom and smoked meat lasagna pairs perfectly with a fresh green salad or a tomato salad to balance the richness of the dish. Additionally, a bottle of dry white wine or a fruit cocktail can add a touch of refinement to the meal.
