For the mushroom mixture:
2 tablespoons butter or oil
1 small onion, diced
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
1/4 cup white wine or broth
1 bunch kale, chopped

For the cauliflower sauce:
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
6 cups cauliflower (1 small head or 1 12 ounce bag)
2 cups vegetable broth or water
1/2 cup gorgonzola or other blue cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup milk

For the lasagne roll ups:
9 lasagne noodles, cooked
2 cups ricotta
1/2 cup parmigiano-reggiano (parmesan), grated
1 cup mozzarella, shredded

directions

For the mushroom mixture:
1.Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat, add the onions and mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms start to caramelize, about 15-20 minutes.
2.Add the garlic and thyme to the mushrooms and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
3.Add the wine and deglaze the pan.
4.Add the kale and cook until tender, about 10 minutes

For the cauliflower sauce:
5.Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat, add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about a minute.
6.Add the cauliflower and broth, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until fork tender, about 8-10 minutes.
7.Puree in a blender or food processor until smooth.
8.Return to heat, mix in the cheese, season with salt and pepper to taste, add enough milk to bring sauce to a saucy consistency and cook until the cheese has melted.

For the lasagne roll ups:
9.Lay the lasagne noodles out, spread a thin layer of the ricotta mixed with the parmesan onto each lasagna noodle, top with the mushroom mixture and a tablespoon of the cauliflower sauce and roll up the noodles.
10.Spread 1/2 cup of the cauliflower sauce around the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking dish, place the lasagne roll-ups in, top with 1 1/2 cups of the cauliflower sauce and the mozzarella.
11.Bake in a preheated 350F oven until golden brown on top and bubbling on the sides, about 25-30 minutes.


Option: If you are not a fan of blue cheese use parmigiano-reggiano (parmesan) or romano or asiago instead.
Option: Replace the kale with swiss chard, spinach (either fresh of frozen), or other green leaf vegetable.
Option: For vegan use vegan cheeses or replace the gorgonzola and parmesan with nutritional yeast and omit the mozzarella.

    People don't really make lasagna noodles out of cauliflower, do they?

    So make your own sauce. It's a recipe, it's not written in stone.

    no, you are correct....you did say cauliflower sauce.
    but yes, people make cauliflower rice, pasta, pizza crust, cookies, flour...

    thank you for not trying to lie to us like the others.

    your honesty is.......refreshing.
