End of Summer Lasagna

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz. sliced mushrooms
  • 4 Tbsp. butter, divided
  • 1 lb. Italian sausage
  • 2 medium zucchini, diced
  • ½ Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 2½ tsp. kosher salt divided
  • 2 Tbsp.flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 15 oz. container ricotta
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh oregano leaves chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh parsley chopped
  • ⅔ cup corn kernels. thawed or fresh
  • To taste fresh cracked pepper
  • 4 cups mozzarella, shredded
  • 2 cups shredded fontina cheese
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • 12 lasagna noodles, cooked and rinsed

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 F.
  2. In a large nonstick skillet over high heat, melt half of the butter. Add the mushrooms and brown; move to a plate and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage, breaking into small bits. Move browned sausage to a bowl lined with two layers of paper towels to drain the fat. Set aside.
  4. Layer the diced zucchini on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss to coat the zucchini. Roast for 8 to 10 minutes until just softened and a touch browned. Set aside.
  5. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and flour in a medium saucepan on medium-high heat, to make a roux. Add milk, whisking continually. Continue to cook, stirring for 5 minutes until very slightly thickened. Add 1 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper and set aside.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, 1 teaspoon salt, all herbs and 1/4 cup of the prepared béchamel sauce.
  7. In a lasagna pan sprayed with cooking spray, spread 1/4 cup sauce. Add sausage to the remaining sauce and stir. Layer three lasagna noodles over sauce. Layer half each of the mushrooms, corn and zucchini. Layer 1/2 cup fontina cheese, 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano and 1 cup mozzarella. Layer three more noodles. Repeat.
  8. For the last layer, place the last three noodles on top with 1/2 cup fontina, 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano and 2 cups of mozzarella.
  9. Bake at 350 F for an hour. Top with foil after the top browns. Let lasagna set 15 minutes.
