Ingrediants

300 g of pasta
30 g of grated Parmesan cheese
About 100 ml of milk
100 g of fresh ricotta
50 ml of dry white wine
1 sprig of parsley
1 clove of garlic
Q.b. of pepper
Q.b. of salt
200 g of porcini mushrooms and 200 g of champignon or chiodini or pioppini mushrooms
2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

Materials Needed

Chopping board
Knife
Small brush
Casserole
Cooking pan
Fork
Scoop or spoon
Immersion mixer

Preparation

Clean the mushrooms (porcini and pioppini, in this case). With a sharp small knife, remove traces of soil and impurities starting from the end of the stem, taking care to remove as little pulp as possible. Scrape the surface with the knife to facilitate the operation. Repeat the scraping also in the chapel part. It is strongly not recommended to wash the mushroom in water because, acting like a sponge, it tends to fill up with water. In any case, if the fungus is very difficult to clean and the soil remains even after having dabbed it with a damp cloth, it is advisable to pass it quickly in cold running water.
Pour plenty of water into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Salt lightly.
Meanwhile, pour 2 tablespoons of oil into a hot pan, then flavor with a clove of garlic (whole or chopped, according to your taste). Gather the mushrooms and sauté them over high heat for 2-3 minutes. Deglaze with dry white wine, allow the excess alcohol to evaporate, and continue cooking for about ten minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Boil the pasta (common lasagna, in this case) in salted water, respecting the cooking times recommended in the package.

Did you know that
Those who wish can replace common lasagna with short pasta (eg penne). To make the dish more full-bodied, you can use egg pasta.

In a beaker, combine the fresh ricotta, milk and part of the mushrooms. Immerse the mixer and blend until creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more milk or a ladle of pasta cooking water.

Why use ricotta?
Ricotta is a valid substitute for cream: the result will be almost the same, but the calories are drastically reduced!

Drain the pasta and combine it in the pan with the whole mushrooms. Sauté the lasagna adding the ricotta sauce. Turn off the heat, finish with freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
