Ingredients
  • 2 lg Garlic Cloves Minced
  • 1/2 teaspoons Fennel Seeds,
  • 3/4 lbs Mushrooms Sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoons Pepper
  • 1 teaspoons Thyme Tomatoes Undrained &
  • 1/4 teaspoons Salt, Pepper Choppped
  • 1 (10 1/2 Oz.) package.
  • 1 tablespoons Tomato Paste
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. 2
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  3. 3
    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and fennel seeds, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. 4
    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. 5
    Stir in the thyme, undrained tomatoes, and tomato paste. Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. 6
    Lay the cooked lasagna noodles flat on a clean work surface. Spoon a generous amount of the mushroom-tomato mixture onto one end of each noodle.
  7. 7
    Carefully roll up each noodle around the filling. Place the rolls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish, arranging them snugly together.
  8. 8
    Pour any remaining sauce over the rolls. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  9. 9
    Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the rolls are heated through and the tops are slightly bubbly.
  10. 10
    Let the rolls rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow them to set. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
