Caramelized Onion Lasagna

Good meatless alternative We used regular lasagna noodles instead of whole wheat. We skipped all of the added salt, which was two teaspoons. That's a lot of salt. We used one package of thawed frozen chopped spinach instead of leaf spinach. We used crumbled blue cheese instead of Gorgonzola. Yes, Gorgonzola is a blue cheese. If you're not a fan of blue cheeses, you'll want to use a different cheese in the white sauce. I did remove the gills from the mushrooms, but I think it was probably unnecessary in this recipe since the mushrooms are added to caramelized onion with red wine. It all turns sort of purple anyway. The lasagna holds together very well even though it doesn't have the usual layers of heavy sauce and mozzarella. In using frozen chopped spinach as we did, I pulsed the spinach in the food processor before adding the ricotta. The mixture was just right that way. Pros: Vegetarian dish that holds together well Cons: Lots of steps

Yum I thought this was pretty good, however, I am not really a fan of blue cheese so I should have used goat cheese or mozzarella. But, it still was pretty tasty. My mom, a fan of blue cheese, loved it! So, if you like blue cheese, use it - if you don't maybe sub with a different cheese. Pros: Healthy, filling Cons: Takes a long time to make, requires lots of ingredients

I thought this lasagna was amazing! I made it with goat cheese instead of gorgonzola as I don't care for blue cheese. I did accidentally use honey goat, but that didn't seem to negatively alter the flavor. I also added 3 cloves of garlic to the white sauce and added a small amount of parmigiano reggiano on top of the second layer of ricotta and another sprinkle on top of the final white sauce layer, maybe 1/4 of a cup total. I don't think it really added anything, so I likely won't use it next time. I used organic whole wheat no boil noodles, and was a little worried since I don't normally like whole wheat noodles, but I didn't even notice them in this recipe! As far as lasagnas go, this one is pretty simple, especially if you make the onions and ricotta mix a day ahead like I did. I assembled the lasagna early in the day and let it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours just to be sure the noodles would absorb enough liquid to cook properly in 30 minutes. Pictures don't do this justice either, the ricotta layer is a beautiful bright green from the spinach and basil, and the onions and mushrooms are a lovely shade of purple. The only thing I'd change is to put the walnuts and chopped basil under the final white sauce layer, because the basil kind of dried out, and the walnuts might be nice if they absorb some of the sauce! If you don't want to buy a bottle of red wine for this, I would think vermouth would work well too, but you won't get the pretty purple color. I used a

Worth the effort After reading lots of reviews I took some of their suggestions: I used one more onion (total of four) and made half again more sauce. I also used no boil lasagna noodles and NOT whole wheat, just don't like 'em. The other change was substituting pine nuts for walnuts and it turned out to be a good choice. I put 2 cloves of minced garlic in the oil for the white sause as well as a pinch of nutmeg. I also added some grated Romano cheese to finish the sauce. I loved the delicate flavors and would make again with the changes I made to this great recipe.

The best lasagna ever! I have never made a lasagna before and was concerned that I would mess it up and it would be a waste of time. Boy I was wrong. This is fantastic, the most delicious lasagna ever! It was simple to make, although time consuming but totally worth it. I bought gorgonzola and tried it but despised it so I used feta instead. Also I didn't use walnuts because I don't like them. The flavors taste incredible together. My fiancee absolutely loved it too, he ate half the lasagna in 2 days. Pros: Delicious, healthy ingredients, easy clean up

Prepared the recipe as pretty nearly as directed and turned out quite good, but in the future I would change the following: 1) Onion Filling - 3 Lg. Sweet onions were not enough, I'd add another one for a total of four. Also, I used 2 large portabello caps and would increase to 3 next time. 2) Spinach & Cheese Filling: Add a couple cloves of garlic to the mixture and a 1/4 cup parmesan. I found the mixture a bit too bland. 3) White Sauce and Topping: I would double the quantity of white sauce to make sure there was plenty to top the dish. Sprinkled extra gorgonzola on top. Also, considering using italian soy sausage so that it stays meatless, but adds a little kick.
