Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Oil a large baking dish and set aside.
  • Cook Flora Fine Foods Lasagna noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat Flora Fine Foods Extra Organic Unfiltered Virgin Olive Oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the diced chicken or veal to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on all sides.
  • Stir in the chopped Flora Fine Foods Mushrooms, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and golden.
  • Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release any flavorful bits. Allow the wine to reduce by half by slow simmering.
  • Lower the heat still more, and pour in the heavy cream and chicken or vegetable broth. Stir well to combine, then simmer gently at low for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg to taste. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Arrange a layer of cooked Flora Lasagna noodle sheets in the oiled baking dish, covering the bottom completely.
  • Spoon a generous portion of the creamy chicken or veal and mushroom sauce over the pasta layer, spreading it evenly.
  • Repeat the layers, alternating between pasta and sauce, until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of sauce on top.
  • Sprinkle the remaining grated Parmesan cheese over the top layer of sauce.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is golden and melted.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to crisp up the top layer, if desired.
  • Once done, remove the Vincisgrassi from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Slice into portions and enjoy this luxurious Italian delicacy that hails originally from the Marche region with your loved ones.
