Tips:
Lasagne sheets may also be bought ready to use. We suggest cooking them as described in step 2 for better results.
If you cannot find Porcini mushrooms, you can substitute them with wild mushrooms or Portobello mushrooms.
Flavor greatly improves for second service. Just heat the lasagna in the conventional oven at 375 F for 15-20 minutes or until hot inside. To test it, quickly put a fork within the layers. When the reheated lasagna are ready, the fork will be hot on the tips.
