Fixed this for lunch today (halved the recipe) and it didn't say to cook the lasagne noodles but I did and I also minced up some onion (about 1/4 cup) and a clove of garlic and sauteed them with the mushrooms. This is very rich but quite good. DH ate quite a lot. Served with a green salad and french bread. Made for SPRING PAC 2010.
