Lasagna Roll-Ups With Gorgonzola Cream Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    16 cremini mushrooms, caps cleaned with a damp towel and finely chopped in food processor
    1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
    2 -4 garlic cloves, minced
    2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (2 turns around the pan)
    1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
    salt and pepper
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg or 1/4 teaspoon the equivalent of freshly grated nutmeg
    2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
    8 curly edge lasagna noodles, cooked to al dente (12 to 14 minutes)
    1 cup fat free chicken broth
    8 ounces gorgonzola, crumbled
    1/2 cup heavy cream (3 turns around the pan)
    1 - 1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Preparation
    In a medium skillet over moderate heat, saute mushrooms, chopped onions, and garlic in oil until mushrooms give off their juices and darken and onions are tender, about 7 or 8 minutes.
    Season with salt and pepper; the salt will help draw water out of the vegetables as they cook.
    Add dry chopped spinach to the pan and heat through for 1 minute.
    Adjust seasonings with salt, pepper, and a little nutmeg.
    Add ricotta and stir into mixture to heat cheese through, 1 minute longer.
    Remove pan from heat but leave in the warm skillet.
    Heat broth in a small pan over moderate heat.
    Melt Gorgonzola into broth and bring liquid to a bubble.
    Stir in cream and thicken sauce 2 minutes.
    Place cooked lasagna noodles on a large work surface or cutting board.
    Spread lasagna noodles with a layer of spinach-mushroom filling.
    Roll up pasta and arrange the 8 bundles in a shallow casserole dish.
    Pour warm sauce over roll-ups and top with mozzarella.
    Place casserole under broiler to melt cheese.
    Serve with steamed asparagus and broiled tomatoes.
