Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Serving Tip:
Just like any good lasagna, letting this dish stand for 15 minutes before slicing is crucial. Serve it with a simple fresh green salad and a side of your favorite crusty bread for a complete, comforting meal.
Wine Advice:
This rich, earthy, and savory lasagna deserves a wine that can match its elegance. A crisp Pinot Grigio or a light-bodied, un-oaked Chardonnay would be a perfect companion. Their bright acidity will cut through the creamy sauce and complement the earthy flavors of the mushrooms without overpowering the dish. It’s a pairing that makes you feel like you’re wrapped in a cozy blanket on a cold winter night.
