Lasagna Bolognese

My ridiculous, time consuming, many steps involving lasagna bolognese:

1. Roast up several of the following veg: roma tomato, bell or poblano peppers, garlic cloves, package of sliced mushrooms, zucchini or yellow summer squash

2. Boil your noodles (but not totally- about 2/3 the amount of time), and assemble sauces: bolognese and a tasty white sauce, also pre-heat the oven.

3. Gather your cheeses (parmesan and feta), your veggies, and your sauces all together with your pan.

4. Assemble la lasagna alternating noodles, sauces, cheese and veg! Yum. Bake for a good while.

Decadent Lasagna

8 oz lasagna noodles boiled for about 8 min (or a few min less than suggested cooking time)
2 med. zucchini (about 2 1/2 cup) sliced
8 oz mushrooms sliced
opt. 1 bell or poblano, garlic, onion wedges*

white sauce of gloriousness
4 TB butter, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 plus 2 TB white wine, 1 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 1/4 cup half and half

1 1/2- 2 cups bolognese sauce (homemade if possible but jarred is ok too)

1/2 cup feta 1/4 cup shredded asiago

Preheat the oven on broil, start a pot of water boiling for noodles, and toss the zucchini and mushrooms with 1-2 TB olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Broil in your 3 quart glass casserole for ten minutes, stir and remove. Set oven to 375. Make white sauce.

Melt butter in a sauce pan on medium and toss in your garlic, let it shimmer for about a minute and add your flour, stirring vigorously till mixed, immediately add the white wine slowly till well mixed. Add chicken broth and whisk till incorporated all together and simmer till sauce begins to thicken. Lower heat to very low and slowly add half and half mixing well and stirring constantly for about 5 more minutes.

Should be a nice layer of mushroom liquid still in the bottom of the glass cass. so just add about a ladle full of white sauce and then plop down a layer of noodles. Layer thusly: 1/2 of bolognese sauce, 1/2 of veggies, 1/3 of parmesan, 1/3 of feta, 1/3 of white sauce. Another layer of noodles, repeat and finally after your last layer, go nuts with the cheese and pour the rest of the white sauce on top of everything.

Bake in the 375 oven for 25 minutes covered, and remove cover then finish for ten minutes, turn broiler on and broil for the remaining 5 minutes.

Eat immediately, it's amazingly delicious and will bring out the extravagant fancy lady in ya!
