Recipe: Mushroom Lasagna Recipe »
This mushroom lasagne is a recipe based on an Ina Garten one-a simple lasagna with mushrooms and bechamel sauce but with added garlic which always adds so much to mushrooms. I made it a smaller lasagna to feed two people too so feel free to double the recipe for a family sized lasagna. I used some leftover lasagna sheets that I had from a lasagna experiment gone totally wrong and pushed it into the oven with a sigh echoing the sigh that I was feeling the whole day. Sometimes days are just a sigh...
Do you ever have those days where inspiration fails to strike you? Where you're sitting waiting for the words to flow from your fingers but you remain blocked and your fingers unmoving? Where you look at the sky for raindrops of inspiration to fall on you searching out the clouds but none appear? Well I was having one of those days when I made this lasagna.
I considered not posting this up because the photos weren't exactly appealing. I find lasagne hard to photograph at the best of times but a mushroom coloured one with a limited colour palette was particularly challenging. But the proof was in Mr NQN's reaction to it. He wolfed it down within minutes and asked for more.
I pulled it out of the oven and looked at it. It smelled great but it didn't transform into a cake or anything so I wasn't particularly excited. Even spearing some while hot it was good but the trick with this lasagna is to eat it when it isn't piping hot. Allow it to cool a bit, longer is better and it is absolutely delicious when lukewarm. Yes some days are just lukewarm days but even those lukewarm days are ok.
So tell me Dear Reader, what do you do on lukewarm days? And how do you find inspiration or conquer writer's block?
