Nadine's White Lasagna
"This comes from Nadine's Restaurant in Lexington, Kentucky. This recipe does call for chicken base, which is a thick paste sold in plastic tubs in the refrigerator or freezer section of specialty markets. Also, because this is a 4 layer lasagna (4 noodle layers), the thinner, no pre-cooking needed style noodles work best."
- Ready In:
- 55mins
- Ingredients:
- 11
- Serves:
-
8
ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb boneless chicken breast, cut into 1/2 inch dice
- 1 1⁄2 cups mushrooms, sliced thickly
- 1 quart heavy cream
- 1⁄2 tablespoon chicken base
- 2 cups parmesan cheese
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 12 ounces ricotta cheese
- 2 eggs
- 8 ounces provolone cheese, cubed
- 2 (9 ounce) packages no-boil lasagna noodles (enough for 4 layers in the dish)
directions
- In a skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat.
- Add the diced chicken and cook until it just begins to brown, about 5-8 minute.
- Add the mushrooms, toss to combine, and set aside.
- In another pan over medium heat, bring the cream to a simmer.
- Stir in the chicken base.
- When chicken base has dissolved, whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted.
- Whisk in the cornstarch 1 Tbs at a time until the sauce is very thick - thick enough to flow slowly in thick ribbons from the whisk.
- In another bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and the eggs.
- Stir in the cubed provolone.
- Heat the oven to 400ºF.
- Assemble the lasagna in a 9x11" lasagna pan.
- Ladle in just enough sauce to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Add a layer of no-cook lasagna noodles.
- Top noodles with a thin layer of the sauce.
- Then layer half of the ricotta mixture.
- Add another layer of noodles.
- Another thin layer of sauce.
- Now add all of the chicken and mushrooms in a layer.
- Cover that with another layer of noodles.
- Ladle in more sauce over that noodle layer.
- Top with the rest of the ricotta mixture.
- One more layer of noodles is finally topped by the rest of the sauce.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minute.
- Remove the foil and bake for a few min more if you want the top to brown a little more.

skinny Minnie, are you still out there?? I loved this lasagna at Roy Nadines and I made it tonight. It was great and I was surprised I would not need more seasoning...so Kudos to you! I do want to say that I have never used non-cook noodles and I think I could have had more sauce.... I needed my noodles a little better cooked.... What is wrong with using regular noodles? too soupy? Susan

Hi! My name is Robin, and welcome to my about me page. I will try to be as brief as possible, but I tend to be long winded. If you get bored at anytime, feel free to move on...I won't be offended.
I was born in the great city of New Orleans, but have had the pleasure of travelling and living all over the place. My parents moved to Lafayette, Louisiana when I started high school. After high school, I was a nanny and lived in England (London). I miss it A LOT!! England, not the being a nanny part. I lived and got married in California (Los Angeles), but we moved back to Lafayette to be closer to family. Well, to make a long story short, things didn't work out and we got a D-I-V-O-R-C-E!!! After that, I packed up and moved to Texas (Beaumont).
I met the love of my life (Toby) on-line - believe it or not - and he whisked me away to Kentucky (Louisville). Which is where I lay my head and call home now. I absolutely love it here!! I love having seasons!! The trees changing colors in Fall and snow in the Winter, along with a BEAUTIFUL Spring and HOT Summer!! We live in the house Toby grew up in, and are about to start doing some MUCH needed renovations! (I DEMAND A BIGGER KITCHEN!!) I have recently (this past year) started growing my own herbs. I threw in a few tomato plants for good measure :D. Now I have the bug!! I want more more MORE!! So Toby has so lovingly decided to make me an actual garden. This way I can grow all sorts of fun stuff!! I can't wait!! I love fresh home grown veggies and stuff!! And NOTHING beats fresh herbs!!!
Toby has a son (Zach, 11) from a previous marriage. I guess that would make me the wicked stepmom.....I hope not!!! We also have in our lovely family 2 dogs (Daisy, a Cockapoo who runs the house and Missy, a Black Lab), a cat (Mystery), and a ferret (Flower).
I am a stay at home stepmom (that is my job), so I have all day to cook and look up different recipes. I LOVE it!! I have figured out that I can cook twice as much if I give half of what I cook away....LOL!! This means Toby's business partner and his wife eat just as well as we do!! They have told me on many occasions, that if I can't take Toby anymore they will add on to their house to make room for me. All I have to do is cook!! LOL!!
My parents are foodies and I TOTALLY blame them for my passion for food!! I will try anything once. I have found that I really do like some things I "thought" I hated. Although, I do still HATE (green)peas!!
Here is my rating key for reviews:
***** = HEAVEN - I would not change a thing!!
**** = Was VERY good, but would make a few changes
*** = Not a bad recipe, but would make quite a few changes if I made it again
** = Would have to make a lot of changes to enjoy
* = Didn't enjoy it at all, and will probably not make again.
