How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- Soak the dried mushrooms in 350 ml of boiling water and set aside until needed.
- Beat ¾ of the chestnuts with 150 ml of water until creamy.
- Coarsely chop the remaining chestnuts.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet. Fry the shallots with a pinch of salt until softened, then add the garlic, chopped chestnuts, and rosemary, and fry for a further 2 minutes.
- Add the wild mushrooms, 2 tablespoons of oil, and a little seasoning. Cook for 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Drain and chop the dried mushrooms (reserve the soaking liquid), then add them along with the soy sauce, and fry for a further 2 minutes.
- Whisk together the wine, reserved mushroom liquid, and chestnut cream to create a sauce.
- Season, then add half to the mushroom mixture in the pan and cook for 1 minute until the sauce turns glossy. Remove and discard the rosemary sprigs, then reserve the mixture.
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil and prepare a large bowl of ice water.
- Drop lasagna sheets into boiling water for 2 minutes or until pliable and slightly cooked, then immediately plunge into cold water.
- Using your fingers, carefully separate the layers and transfer to a clean kitchen towel. Spread a good dollop of sauce on the bottom two-thirds of each leaf and then, moving away from you, roll up the shorter ends.
- Cut each roll in half, then place the pasta rolls cut side up in a pie plate that you'll be happy to serve on the table.
- If you have any mushroom sauce left after rolling all the sheets, simply push it into some of the exposed pasta rolls.
- Pour the rest of the sauce over the pasta, then bake for 10 minutes or until the pasta no longer has resistance when tested with a skewer.
- Meanwhile, put the breadcrumbs, the last 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the sage leaves, and a little seasoning in a bowl and mix everything together.
- Sprinkle the rotolo with the crumbs and sage, then bake for another 10 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the sage leaves are crisp.
- Let it cool for 10 minutes so the pasta absorbs the sauce and then drizzle with a little truffle oil, if you like, before bringing your dish to the table.
