    20 lasagna noodles
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
    1 cup chopped onion

Bill, do you place the pasta in the dish uncooked to do your version or do you cook it first?

Hi Al, I sometimes make my own, but usually I use Latina fresh pasta sheets.
They are not dried so I place them straight in the dish and are found in the refrigerated section of our supermarkets.
