I don’t have a video for this recipe.
If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of
White Mushroom Lasagna
...in your mind.

White Mushroom Lasagna

This lasagna is short on purpose. Instead of stacking it high, we spread it out so you get more of the good stuff: browned cheese, buttery mushrooms and those crispy pasta edges everyone fights over. It’s creamy, crunchy, cooks in about 1/3 the time and might be my new favorite lasagna.

Serves four-ish

Ingredients

Mushrooms

  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms, quartered or roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire

Parmesan Béchamel

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups whole milk, warmed
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan

Ricotta

  • 1 cup whole-milk ricotta
  • ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan
  • 1 egg
  • Kosher salt & black pepper

Lasagna

  • 6 oven-ready lasagna noodles, blanched 3 minutes
  • 1½ cups shredded whole-milk mozzarella
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan
  • Olive oil
  • Chopped parsley, for finishing

Directions

Mushrooms

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  2. Toss the mushrooms with olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Spread them out in the basket/tray so the air can actually get around them.
  3. Air fry 8–12 minutes, tossing once or twice, until they've lost a bunch of moisture and are deeply browned around the edges.
  4. Immediately toss the screaming-hot mushrooms with the butter, garlic and Worcestershire. Set aside.

Béchamel

  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook about a minute.
  2. Slowly whisk in the warm milk and cook until slightly thickened, 3–5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and a little nutmeg.
  3. Turn off the heat and stir in the Parmesan. We want it creamy and spoonable, not wallpaper paste, because it'll tighten further in the air fryer.

Ricotta

  1. Mix the ricotta, Parmesan and egg with a good pinch each of salt and pepper

Lasagna

  1. Lightly oil a small rimmed sheet pan that fits in your air fryer
  2. Spread a thin layer of béchamel over the bottom.
  3. Lay down 3 pasta sheets, but don't obsess about making everything neat. Let some edges and corners extend or overlap irregularly.
  4. Add dollops of ricotta mixture, mushrooms, mozzarella, Parmesan and enough béchamel to keep everything creamy.
  5. Add another pasta layer and repeat.
  6. Finish with béchamel, mozzarella and plenty of Parmesan, leaving some pasta edges exposed.
  7. Cook at 350 for 14 minutes, until everything is hot and bubbling.
