Ingredients
  • 2 onions, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1kg mushrooms (a mix of button and portobello is nice, but not essential), cut into thin slices.
  • 150ml Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 120g unsalted butter, plus a little extra to butter the baking dish 
  • 60g flour 
  • 1.2 litres whole or semi skimmed milk 
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 5 tbsp Aubergine Mezze
  • 3 tbsp Infused White Truffle Extra Virgin Oil
  • 100g 22-month Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
  • 500g fresh pasta sheets
Method
  • Step 0: Place a large frying pan on a high heat and when hot, add 75ml (5tbsp) olive oil and the sliced onions. Season well with salt and cook on a high heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Turn the heat down to medium and continue to cook quite aggressively, but without burning for another 5-7 minutes, continuing to stir. scrape off any caramelised bits from the bottom, until the onions are soft, sweet and quite dark in places. Remove the onions then clean the pan.
  • Step 1: Place the pan back on a medium to high heat and when hot add a few handfuls of the sliced mushrooms so that they cover the pan in a single layer. Season with salt and drizzle with olive oil. Turn in the pan every few minutes, adding a little more oil, so that the mushrooms are cooked intensely, helping to release their liquid. Cook for around 5 minutes, or until dark and beginning to crisp. Remove from the pan, wipe out with kitchen paper then repeat again, until all the mushrooms have been cooked. Mix all the mushrooms together then taste and add more seasoning as needed.
  • Step 2: Heat your oven to 200C/220C non-fan. Place the milk in a small pan and bring to a simmer. In another small pan, melt the butter on a low heat then gradually add a little of the flour, stirring to incorporate with a wooden spoon, so you don’t have any lumps. Once all the flour has been added, add about a third of the milk and again stir until combined. Raise the heat to medium so the mix begins to bubble, then slowly pour the rest of the milk in. Stir or whisk for 5-7 minutes, with the heat set so the bechamel gently bubbles. When it looks shiny and is smooth rather than grainy, it is ready. Allow to cool a little, then add the Aubergine Mezze, truffle oil, season with salt and pepper then taste and add more seasoning as you feel necessary.
  • Step 3: A deep, square 20x20cm dish is ideal, but other sizes are fine if they are deep. Lightly grease with a little butter then begin to layer up the lasagne. The aim is to have quite a few layers, with small amounts of filling in-between. Put down a layer of fresh pasta, add some mushrooms, spread a layer of béchamel on top then sprinkle with parmesan. Continue the process layer upon layer, finishing with a béchamel layer and a sprinkling of parmesan. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, so that the edges are bubbling, and the top has a light crust. Check to see that it’s cooked all the way through by inserting a sharp knife then place the tip on your bottom lip. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving, then drizzle with a little more truffle olive oil before portioning.
