How to Make Autumn Lasagna
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut 1 medium head of green cabbage into thin strips.
- Pour boiling water over 1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms and let soak for 30 minutes, or until softened. Drain and finely chop the mushrooms.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over moderately low heat.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic, chopped porcini mushrooms, and 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary. Cook until garlic is golden, about 3 minutes.
- Add the cabbage and cook over low heat, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup dry white wine and simmer until the wine is evaporated.
- Add 1/4 cup water and cook over low heat until cabbage is tender, about 6 minutes.
- Discard garlic and rosemary. Season cabbage with salt and pepper to taste.
- Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a separate saucepan over moderately low heat.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in 3 cups milk, bringing the mixture to a boil.
- Simmer for 5 minutes, then season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
- Stir the cooked cabbage into the creamy sauce.
- In a bowl, combine 15 ounces ricotta cheese and 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- Spread one-third of the cabbage mixture in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Layer half of a 9x13 package of lasagna noodles over the cabbage. Top with half of the remaining cabbage mixture and half of the cheese mixture.
- Arrange the remaining lasagna noodles over the cheese. Top with the remaining cabbage mixture and cheese mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
