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 ¼ 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 ¼ cup Parmesan.

Reserve ½ cup sauteed mushrooms for garnish. Spread remaining mushrooms over cheese. Arrange remaining noodles over. Spread remaining sauce over noodles. Sprinkle remaining Fontina and ¼ cup Parmesan over. Cover with foil. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead.

Refrigerate lasagna and reserved ½ 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.
