Instructions:

* Pancetta is Italian unsmoked bacon cured in salt and is available

with salt and pepper. Add eggs and mix well. (Can be prepared 1 day

to with salt and pepper, and cook l juices evaporate, stirring,
frequently, about
12 minutes. ASSEMBLY:
Cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until just
tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain. Rinse
under cold water to cool; drain.
Oil 13x9x2-inch baking dish (I always find a deeper dish easier
to deal with when making lasagna; 3-inches deep is MUCH better).
Spread 1 cup Tomato, Porcini and Pancetta Sauce over bottom of dish.
Arrange 3 to 4 noodles over, trimming to fit as necessary. Spread
half of ricotta filling over. Spoon 1 cup sauce over. Sprinkle with 1
cup Fontina and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Top with 3 to 4 noodles,
trimming to fit. Spread remaining ricotta filling over noodles. Spoon
1 cup sauce over. Sprinkle with 1 cup Fontina and 1/4 cup Parmesan.
Reserve 1/2 cup sauteed mushrooms for garnish. Spread remaining
mushrooms over cheese. Arrange remaining noodles over. Spread
remaining sauce over noodles. Sprinkle remaining Fontina and 1/4 cup
Parmesan over. Cover with foil. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead.
Refrigerate lasagna and reserved 1/2 cup mushrooms separately. Let
lasagna stand 2 hours at room temperature before continuing.)
Preheat oven to 350F. Bake covered lasagna 30 minutes. Uncover
and continue baking until bubbling and cheese melts, about 20 minutes.
Arrange reserved 1 cup mushrooms, tomato and 2 teaspoons rosemary
over. Let stand 10 minutes. Cut into squares.
