Best Always Lasagna Vegetable Lasagna.

This veggie lasagna is the perfect end-of-summer meal! It’s a mixture of tender zucchini and yellow summer vacation squash (great for using up your summer garden veggies) as well as spinach and mushrooms, in a tasty creamy white sauce made from a blend of cheeses. A touch of nutmeg and some red pepper flakes add the perfect amount of spice and heat to complement the rich,creamy sauce.

Ингредиенты

  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup for the cheese mixture, 1/2 cup for the topping)
  • 2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 3 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 7 cups tomato sauce (2 batches of Best Ever Tomato Sauce)
  • 12 uncooked lasagna noodles
  • 1-1/2 pounds of fresh spinach, or 1 10-ounce package frozen spinach
  • 12 ounces mushrooms, sliced

Инструкции

  1. Prepare the spinach. If using frozen, then cook in the microwave according to package directions; if using fresh, cook in the microwave. Once the spinach has cooled, squeeze out as much liquid as you can, and chop it.
  2. Preheat oven to 350° F. Set out a 9 x 12 or 10 x 14 baking pan.
  3. Prepare the cheese mixture. Put the following cheeses into a mixing bowl: all of the ricotta, all of the mozzarella, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan. Stir to mix.
  4. Add the vegetables (spinach, mushrooms, and carrots) into the same bowl with the cheese mixture. Mix well.
  5. Prepare the mushrooms. Heat a thin coating of olive oil in a small skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms, and cook about 5 minutes, or until tender. Set aside.
  6. Assemble the layers in the following order, spreading evenly: 2 cups sauce, 4 noodles, half the cheese-vegetable mixture. Repeat for the second layer. Press down gently on the noodles to level the layers. Add the last 4 noodles and level again.
  7. Add the rest of the sauce, and sprinkle the 1/2 cup Parmesan over the top.
  8. Cover the pan (if using aluminum foil, be sure to tent so not to touch the sauce). Bake for 45-60 minutes.
  9. Remove from oven. Let stand for 15-20 minutes before serving.
