    Pasta dough:

    485g tipo 00 flour

    3 eggs, 2 egg yolks

    200g spinach, cooked and well drained

    100g basil, fresh

    9g salt

    Mushroom ‘ragu’:

    400g closed cup mushroom

    400g baby portobello

    150g ‘woodland mushrooms mix’ (shiitake, oyster, king oyster)

    500g onion

    100g celery

    120g carrot
    14g garlic

    30g tomato concentrate

    187ml dry white wine

    60ml olive oil

    80g butter

    salt pep

    Bechamel:
    500ml milk

    20g flour

    30g butter

    50g parmesan

    salt pep

    100g extra parm for lasagna layers/on top

    The pasta was done in a food processor, the eggs/yolk, basil, and well drained spinach were blended til smooth and mixed with the flour until a cohesive mass formed. It was let to rest in the fridge overnight.

    The “ragu” was done by finely dicing everything, and then the mushrooms were boiled in a small amount of water until dry. The mushrooms were removed, after which I sweat off the veggies, added the mushrooms back in, fried off the tomato paste, and the white wine was added. It was allowed to cook off until again almost dry, after which I let it simmer for an hour whilst adding a touch of veg stock whenever it seemed like it needed it.

    The bechamel is just a standard bechamel but I melted some parm into it at the end.
