Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 medium shallots, minced
2 pounds wild mushrooms, such as chanterelle, stemmed shiitake, and oyster, caps thickly sliced,
Salt, Freshly ground white pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
12 ounces fresh lasagna sheets
1 pound Taleggio cheese, rind removed and cheese cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350° and lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. In a large, deep skillet, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in the oil. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned, about 18 minutes. Add the wine and boil until evaporated, about 1 minute. Add 2 cups of the cream and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderate heat until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the lasagna sheets until barely al dente. Fill a large bowl with ice water. Drain the sheets and immediately transfer them to the ice water to cool. Drain and pat dry. Arrange one-fourth of the lasagna sheets in the prepared baking dish. Top with one-third of the mushroom mixture and one-fourth of the Taleggio cubes. Repeat this layering twice more, ending with a layer of pasta. Brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of cream and scatter the remaining Taleggio cubes on top. Cover the lasagna very loosely with buttered parchment paper and bake in the upper third of the oven for 15 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and bake for about 15 minutes longer, until the top is golden in spots. Cover loosely and let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
I actually found this recipe in a cook book that pulled recipes from different chefs. I've made it a few times over the past couple of years and every time I make it I ask myself why I don't make it more often! I love it, my husband loves it. The poached egg on top is a perfect way to bring the delicious ingredients together.

Not very clear-put mushrooms in bowl and do you add the other ingredients to the bowl or to the fennel in the skillet and then stir in Mushrooms? I wish I had crushed the fennel seeds after toasting-on the fence as to whether I’ll try again

Deliciously earthy. I especially enjoyed the mushroom conserva on crostini topped with either brie or ricotta!

You can often find storebrand Worcestershire sauce that does not have anchovies (anchovies = expensive ingredient, storebrand = cheaper without anchovies) e.g. Walmart's "Everyday Essentials" Worcestershire does not have anchovies.

These Spanish-style meatballs are prepared with a quick béchamel, which makes them wonderfully moist and tender. They're cooked in a deeply flavorful tomato-based sauce made with wine and brandy, then topped with a crisp blend of cremini, oyster, and chanterelle mushrooms.
Chef Andrew Zimmern's version of this Polish stew uses lightly smoked bacon, chicken thighs, and kielbasa. He also adds roasted bell peppers for depth, buttery chanterelles, and crisp-tender fennel. The stew simmers with fermented sauerkraut, another traditional element.
