INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup boiling water 
• 1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon butter 
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided 
• 1 1/4 cups chopped shallots (about 4)
• 1 (8-ounce) package presliced cremini mushrooms
• 1 (4-ounce) package presliced exotic mushroom blend
• 1 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
• 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
• 6 garlic cloves, minced and divided
• 1/2 cup white wine 
• 1/3 cup (3 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese 
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, divided
• 3 cups 2% reduced-fat milk, divided 
• 1 1/10 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1/4 cup) 
• Cooking spray
• 9 no-boil lasagna noodles
• 1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Combine 1 cup boiling water and porcini. Cover and let stand 30 minutes; strain mixture through a cheesecloth-lined sieve over a bowl, reserving liquid and mushrooms.
3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add shallots to pan; sauté 3 minutes. Add cremini and exotic mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; sauté 6 minutes or until mushrooms are browned. Add thyme and 3 garlic cloves; sauté 1 minute. Stir in wine; bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute or until liquid almost evaporates, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Remove from heat; stir in cream cheese and 1 tablespoon chives. Add reserved porcini mushrooms.
4. Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add remaining 3 garlic cloves to pan; sauté 30 seconds. Add the reserved porcini liquid, 2 3/4 cups milk, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper; bring to a boil. Combine remaining 1/4 cup milk and flour in a small bowl; stir with a whisk. Add flour mixture to milk mixture, and simmer 2 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring constantly with a whisk.
5. Spoon 1/2 cup sauce into an 11 x 7-inch glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray, and top with 3 noodles. Spread half of mushroom mixture over noodles. Repeat layers, ending with remaining sauce. Sprinkle cheese over top. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until golden. Top with remaining 1 tablespoon chopped chives.
