How to Make Autumn Lasagna

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut 1 medium head of green cabbage into thin strips.
  3. Pour boiling water over 1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms and let soak for 30 minutes, or until softened. Drain and finely chop the mushrooms.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over moderately low heat.
  5. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, chopped porcini mushrooms, and 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary. Cook until garlic is golden, about 3 minutes.
  6. Add the cabbage and cook over low heat, covered, for 5 minutes.
  7. Add 1/2 cup dry white wine and simmer until the wine is evaporated.
  8. Add 1/4 cup water and cook over low heat until cabbage is tender, about 6 minutes.
  9. Discard garlic and rosemary. Season cabbage with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a separate saucepan over moderately low heat.
  11. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  12. Gradually whisk in 3 cups milk, bringing the mixture to a boil.
  13. Simmer for 5 minutes, then season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
  14. Stir the cooked cabbage into the creamy sauce.
  15. In a bowl, combine 15 ounces ricotta cheese and 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  16. Spread one-third of the cabbage mixture in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  17. 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.
  18. Arrange the remaining lasagna noodles over the cheese. Top with the remaining cabbage mixture and cheese mixture.
  19. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
