Skillet Mushroom Lasagna

Serves: 4 | Prep time: 30 minutes | Total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

6 lasagna noodles (about 2 inches wide)
1 Tbsp butter
1 lb cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
5 cups assorted baby greens such as spinach, kale, chard, arugula
1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp butter
2 cups milk
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2/3 cups extra-smooth ricotta cheese
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
pinch cayenne pepper
pinch nutmeg
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
canola oil for greasing skillet

Directions

  1. In large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the noodles for 2 minutes less than package instructions for al dente; drain.
  2. While the noodles are cooking, in a 10-inch cast iron skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Cook the mushrooms and garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened and almost no liquid remains, about 7 minutes. Add the baby greens, and cook, stirring occasionally until they begin to wilt, about 2 minutes. Scrape into a bowl. Stir in the salt and pepper.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 8 minutes. Add 3/4 cup of the mozzarella, the ricotta, mustard, cayenne pepper and nutmeg. Stir constantly until the cheese is melted. Remove from the heat.
  4. Wipe out the cast iron skillet after you cook the mushrooms and greens and give it a little greasing with canola oil. . Pour 1/2 cup of the sauce into bottom of the skillet. Arrange 3 of the noodles over top, you may need to trim the ends to fit skillet. Top with half of the mushroom mixture. Spoon half of the remaining sauce over top. Arrange remaining noodles, perpendicular to bottom noodles, over top. Top with the remaining mushroom mixture, sauce and mozzarella. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. 5. Bake in 400°F oven until mozzarella is melted and sauce is bubbly, about 1015 minutes. Broil until the top is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
