Mushrooms and Greens Lasagna combines layers of creamy mornay sauce with wilted bok choy to create a meatless favorite.
The secret ingredient in this rich and creamy mushroom lasagna? It’s bok choy! Thinly sliced ribbons of bok choy pair perfectly with earth mushrooms an sharp white cheddar sauce. Perfect for Lent Fridays or Meatless Mondays. It’s packed with vitamins AND you get your cheese fix at the same glorious time! If you’re like me, you could live off cheese, wine and French bread. That’s my go-to. Yep, I come home from my daily job, pour a glass of wine, tear off a piece of french bread and start cooking. I guess it’s my way of de-stressing, which I find totally acceptable.
The recipe below is weeknight easy, so don’t get thrown off with the fancy Mornay sauce. It’s just a real technical way of saying cheesy goodness sauce, for real! Looking for more meatless recipes? We’ve got ’em!
