Creamy Pocket LasagnaCreamy Pocket Lasagna

White sauce for Creamy Pocket Lasagna.Drop ravioli in a pot of salted, boiling water. Cook for five to six minutes, or according to package instructions. Afterward, use a slotted spoon to remove the ravioli from the water and place in a single layer on a foil-lined cookie sheet. Set aside.

 

In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, salt and pepper, lemon zest, garlic and parsley. Mix well; set aside.

 

In a medium-sized pot, melt butter and then whisk in the flour. Cook for one to two minutes. Whisk in the milk and bring the sauce to a bubble. When it begins to thicken, turn the heat to low and add nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste.

 

In a baking dish, spoon enough of the sauce to cover the bottom. Layer the ravioli, mushrooms and ricotta cheese mixture. Repeat process until the remaining ingredients are gone.

 

Place dish under a hot broiler or into a preheated 425-degree F oven until sauce browns and bubbles (about three minutes). Serve.

*Creamy Pocket Lasagna is a variation of an original recipe from Rachael Ray.

 

Variations: For color, add roasted red and green bell peppers in a layer, or sliced tomatoes.

 

Shenanchie's Note: This dish is creamy and extremely flavorful, but aesthetically unappetizing (as shown in my photographs of the dish above). This is partly my own fault because I left out the "colorful" spinach and artichoke hearts.
