Tasted something like this at a party about 15 years ago, loved its unusual flavor profiles, and tried to re-create it at home! It has become a family favorite! - Gillybunny —Gillybunny
Test Kitchen Notes
This recipe is full of surprises. I was surprised by the complex broth released when you steam greens (I used a mix of spinach and red kale as that is what showed up in the CSA box) with cream and continue to simmer them with lemon juice, herbs, mushrooms (I caramelized them first) and feta and fresh mozzarella cheeses. And I was surprised by what a half cup of wine (I cut back to 4 ounces because the steamed greens and cheese broth were on the tangy side) will do to help thicken a Béchamel sauce! The result is an elegant lasagna with a good mouth feel that lets you know you’ve had a decent amount of protein in this veggie dish. - cheese1227 —The Editors
