Method

1.Make Mushroom mixture and White sauce (see below).
2.Reserve a third of the White sauce; combine remaining sauce with Mushroom mixture.
3.Preheat oven to 190°C.
4.Heat oil in a large frying pan over high heat; cook onion, garlic and chorizo, stirring, for 3 minutes or until onion is soft. Add minces to pan and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until browned. Add marsala, stock and reserved dried mushroom liquid (from Mushroom mixture); bring to the boil. Reduce heat, simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until liquid is reduced by a third.
5.Grease a 2-litre ovenproof dish. Place 2 lasagne sheets in the base of dish. Top with half the mince mixture, then half the Mushroom mixture; sprinkle with ¼ cup of the parmesan. Repeat layering, finishing with remaining 2 pasta sheets. Spread with white sauce; top with sage and remaining parmesan.
6.Bake lasagne, uncovered, for 40 minutes or until lightly browned. Stand for 5 minutes before serving, topped with some extra sage leaves.

Heat butter in a large frying pan over medium heat, add onion and garlic; cook, stirring, for 4 minutes or until onion is soft. Add dried mushrooms and button mushrooms; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until mushrooms are browned. Add sage; season to taste.

• For the dried mushrooms we used Italian porcini, but any type will work in this recipe. • Lasagne can be made up to 2 days ahead. Store in the fridge, or label, date and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
