1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
-
2
(Make the white sauce first and set aside, covered, while you make the rest of the lasagna.)
-
3
For the white sauce, start by heating the milk, butter, flour and bay leaf in a pan over medium heat.
-
4
While it is heating, make sure to whisk the mixture constantly, until smooth and thick.
-
5
Season with salt and pepper to taste, remove from heat, cover and set aside.
-
6
Boil about three cups (or as directed on package of mushrooms) of water in a medium saucepan.
-
7
Once boiling, add the water to a heatproof medium bowl and add the dried Porcini mushrooms to the boiling water.
-
8
Let sit for about 20 minutes until moistened, drain, and set aside.
-
9
Now begin to prepare the lasagna: Heat the oil in a large saucepan and saute the onions over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
-
10
Add the chicken and pancetta and cook for 6-8 minutes.
-
11
Stir in both types of mushrooms and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
-
12
Add the wine and bring the mixture to a boil.
-
13
Then pour in the tomatoes, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
-
14
Then stir in the basil.
-
15
Remove from heat and set aside.
-
16
Arrange 3 of the lasagna sheets in a rectangular ovenproof dish.
-
17
(I use Barilla No Boil lasagna noodles.
-
18
They cook in the sauce and you dont have to boil them before baking the dish.
-
19
If you use noodles that require boiling, make sure to boil those according to package instructions while you are assembling the chicken and mushroom sauce.)
-
20
Then spoon a third of the meat sauce over the noodles.
-
21
Remove the bay leaf from the white sauce and throw it away, you dont need it.
-
22
Spread a third of the white sauce over the meat.
-
23
Repeat the layers two more times (noodles, meat sauce, white sauce), finishing with a layer of the white sauce.
-
24
Sprinkle with Parmesan and bake for 30-40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and bubbling.
-
25
Serve and enjoy!!!
