Miso pesto lasagne

By Abigail Donnelly
6
Easy
20 minutes
25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 250 g dried lasagne sheets
  • 2 T butter
  • 400 g brown mushrooms, torn
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 350 g jar Ottolenghi Miso Pesto
  • ½ cup cream
  • 100 g Parmesan, plus extra for serving
  • 50 g pine nuts, toasted, plus extra for serving

Method

1. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Cook the lasagne sheets in batches until tender. Drain, set aside and drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

2. Melt the butter in a wide pan and sauté the mushrooms over a high heat until golden and tender. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Reduce the heat and stir in the miso pesto and cream. Simmer gently for 3–4 minutes.

4. To assemble, place a sheet of pasta on each plate, spoon over the mushroom sauce, and sprinkle with the Parmesan and pine nuts. Repeat to form 2–3 layers.

5. Serve warm, scattered with extra Parmesan and pine nuts.
