Mushroom and Burrata Lasagnette

This mushroom and burrata lasagnette is a sophisticated twist on a classic Italian favourite. Featuring a rich mix of wild mushrooms and creamy burrata cheese, this vegetarian dish replaces the heavy béchamel of traditional lasagne with a lighter combination of ricotta and double cream. The addition of fresh marjoram provides a delicate, floral aroma that cuts through the richness of the mushrooms, creating a beautifully balanced meal that feels special enough for a dinner party but simple enough for a weekend treat.

As a modern pasta bake, this recipe is incredibly versatile and can be assembled a day in advance, making it perfect for stress-free entertaining. Served with a sharp, vinegar-dressed kale salad to provide a fresh crunch, it offers a wonderful contrast of textures. Whether you use chanterelles or chestnut mushrooms, this dish is a fantastic way to celebrate savoury, earthy flavours in a comforting homemade format.

Ingredients for Mushroom and Burrata Lasagnette

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

  • 45ml olive oil, divided, plus more for brushing

  • 675g mixed mushrooms (such as chanterelle, crimini, and maitake), cut into bite-size pieces

  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

  • 1 large shallot, finely chopped

  • 80ml dry white wine

  • 240ml ricotta

  • 60ml double cream

  • 6 fresh pasta sheets (about 7x5") or 12 dried lasagne noodles

  • 230g burrata or fresh mozzarella, torn into large pieces

  • 45g Parmesan, finely grated

  • 30ml marjoram leaves

  • 1/2 bunch Tuscan kale, ribs and stems removed, leaves torn

  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

Preheat oven to 218°C. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add half of mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and starting to crisp, 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Repeat with 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon oil, and remaining mushrooms. Return all mushrooms to skillet (reserve bowl) and add shallot, wine, and remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, until skillet is dry, about 5 minutes. Return mushrooms to bowl.

Combine ricotta and cream in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.

Working in batches, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until just softened, about 30 seconds. (If using dried noodles, cook until al dente.) Transfer noodles to a large rimmed baking sheet as you go, brushing with oil and overlapping as needed.

Spread a thin layer of ricotta mixture in a small baking dish and top with a pasta sheet (if using dried, use 2 noodles side by side). Spread a large spoonful of ricotta mixture over pasta, scatter some mushrooms over, then a few pieces of burrata. Top evenly with some Parmesan and 1 teaspoon marjoram leaves. Repeat layering process (starting with noodles and ending with marjoram) 5 more times; finish with the last of the Parmesan and a grind or two of pepper.

Cover lasagnette with foil and bake until warmed through, 10–15 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until golden brown, 15–20 minutes. Let cool at least 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, toss kale in a large bowl with vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon oil to coat and massage leaves just to soften slightly; season with salt and pepper. Serve lasagnette with kale alongside.

Lasagnette can be assembled 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
