Ingredients
main
mushrooms (dried)
240 g chestnuts
3 pcs shallots
3 pcs garlic cloves
3 pcs rosemary sprigs
500 g wild mushrooms
2 tbsp soy sauce
125 ml white wine
350 g lasagne sheets
4 tbsp breadcrumbs
0.5 handful sage
truffle oil (to serve)
4 tbsp olive oil
Directions
Soak the dried mushrooms in 350 ml boiling water and set aside.
Blitz 75% of the chestnuts with 150 ml water until creamy and roughly chop the remaining chestnuts.
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the shallots with a pinch of salt until softened.
Add the garlic, chopped chestnuts and rosemary and fry for 2 minutes.
Add the wild mushrooms, 2 tbsp olive oil and seasoning and cook for 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Drain and roughly chop the soaked dried mushrooms reserving the soaking liquid, then add them and the soy sauce and fry for 2 minutes.
Whisk the white wine, reserved mushroom liquid and chestnut cream together to make a sauce, season and add half to the mushroom mixture and cook 1 minute until glossy.
Remove and discard rosemary sprigs and set the mixture aside.
Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and bring a large pan of salted water to the boil with a bowl of ice water ready.
Drop lasagne sheets into boiling water for 2 minutes or until pliable, then plunge into cold water, separate and transfer to a clean tea towel.
Spread a spoonful of the sauce on the bottom two thirds of each sheet, roll away from yourself and roll up the shorter ends, then cut each roll in half.
Position rolls cut-side up in a pie dish and push any remaining sauce into exposed rolls.
Pour the rest of the sauce over the pasta and bake 10 minutes or until pasta has no resistance with a skewer.
Mix breadcrumbs, last 2 tbsp olive oil, sage leaves and seasoning in a bowl and toss.
Scatter crumbs and sage over the rotolo and bake another 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
Leave to cool 10 minutes to let pasta absorb the sauce, then drizzle with truffle oil if liked and serve.
