Introduction

This white lasagna features a rich combination of mushrooms, spinach, and artichokes layered with creamy cheeses and a delicate white sauce. It’s a comforting and elegant dish perfect for gatherings or a special family meal.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil, or more if needed
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium shallot, minced
• 4 ounces Portobello or Cremini mushrooms, chopped
• 4 ounces white mushrooms, chopped
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 2 tbsp gluten-free flour blend (such as Pamela’s GF Artisan Blend)
• ¼ cup dry white wine
• ½ cup gluten-free vegetable or chicken stock
• 1 cup cream
• 5 ounces fresh baby spinach
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 8 ounces Mascarpone cheese, room temperature
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved or shredded
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
• ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
• 10 ounces artichoke hearts in water, drained and roughly chopped
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 pound gluten-free lasagna pasta (prepared according to package directions)
• ½ cup Parmesan or Mozzarella cheese for topping

Instructions

1. Step 1: Make the mushroom sauce. Warm the butter and olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic and shallots until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
2. Step 2: Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and cook until they release their juices and begin to shrink, about 3-5 minutes. Add more olive oil if needed to prevent sticking.
3. Step 3: Whisk in the gluten-free flour blend, then immediately pour in the dry white wine while whisking continuously to incorporate. Gradually whisk in the stock and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
4. Step 4: Reduce the heat to low, whisk in the cream, and warm through until the sauce is smooth and combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Step 5: Prepare the filling. Sauté the baby spinach in olive oil over medium heat until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Drain excess liquid and let cool.
6. Step 6: In a large bowl, combine the Mascarpone, Parmesan, Mozzarella, chopped basil, parsley, artichoke hearts, egg, and salt. Stir well, then fold in the cooled spinach mixture.
7. Step 7: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a deep 8 x 8 inch (20 x 20 cm) baking dish with pan spray.
8. Step 8: Start layering the lasagna. Spread a thin layer of mushroom sauce on the bottom of the dish. Add a layer of lasagna pasta, then spread half of the cheese and vegetable filling over it.
9. Step 9: Add another pasta layer, followed by a thick layer of mushroom sauce with plenty of mushroom pieces. Continue with another pasta layer, then the remaining filling.
10. Step 10: Add one final layer of pasta, spread the remaining mushroom sauce over it, and sprinkle with the reserved Parmesan or Mozzarella cheese.
11. Step 11: Cover with foil and bake for 50 minutes. Remove the foil carefully and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
12. Step 12: Allow the lasagna to cool at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the layers set for clean slices.

Tips & Variations

• Use gluten-free flour and pasta to keep the recipe suitable for gluten sensitivities without sacrificing flavor.
• For extra richness, substitute cream with half-and-half or a mixture of cream and ricotta cheese.
• Add fresh thyme or rosemary to the mushroom sauce for an herbaceous twist.
• Swap artichoke hearts for sun-dried tomatoes for a slightly different flavor profile.

Storage

Store leftover lasagna covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven until warmed through. For longer storage, freeze covered tightly in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

FAQs

Can I make this lasagna ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the lasagna a day in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator. When ready, bake it as directed, adding a few extra minutes if baking from cold.

Can I use regular flour and pasta instead of gluten-free?

Absolutely. Regular all-purpose flour and traditional lasagna noodles can be used if gluten is not a concern.

Other

• 1 pound gluten-free lasagna pasta (prepared according to recipe or package directions)
• ½ cup Parmesan or Mozzarella cheese for topping

Instructions

1. Make the mushroom sauce: Warm the butter and olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic and shallots until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté until they begin to shrink and release their juices, roughly 3-5 minutes. If needed, add extra olive oil. Whisk in the gluten-free flour blend to create a roux, then immediately pour in the dry white wine, continuing to whisk to incorporate the mixture. Next, whisk in the gluten-free vegetable or chicken stock and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and whisk in the cream until fully warmed and combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Prepare the filling: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the fresh baby spinach in olive oil until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Drain any excess liquid and allow the spinach to cool. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, Parmesan, mozzarella, chopped basil, parsley, artichoke hearts, egg, and salt. Mix well to create a creamy filling. Fold the cooled spinach into the cheese mixture thoroughly.
3. Build the lasagna: Preheat the oven and prepare a deep 8 x 8 inch (20×20 cm) baking dish with pan spray. Spread a thin layer of the mushroom sauce on the bottom of the dish. Add a layer of gluten-free lasagna pasta, then spread half of the cheese and spinach filling over the pasta. Add another pasta layer, followed by a thick layer of mushroom sauce ensuring plenty of mushrooms are evenly distributed. Add a third pasta layer, spread the remaining filling evenly, then add a final pasta layer. Top this with the remaining mushroom sauce and sprinkle with the reserved Parmesan or mozzarella cheese.
4. Bake: Cover the lasagna with foil and bake for 50 minutes. Remove the foil carefully and bake for another 15 minutes uncovered to allow the top to brown. Once done, let the lasagna cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving to allow set and improve flavor.

Notes
