2 1/2 pounds leftover crudites: bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, carrots
1 finely diced onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 9-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts or 5 leftover cooked artichoke hearts, quartered
3 large cloves garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound fresh or dried lasagna
12 ounces reduced-fat ricotta
1/2 cup tight-packed chopped basil
Bechamel sauce (recipe below)
1 1/2 cups coarsely grated Parmigiano Reggiano

Steps:

  • Bring water to boil for lasagna.
  • Dice all vegetables but the carrots into 1/2-inch pieces; dice the carrots into 1/4-inch pieces.

Sprinkle with half the vegetables and top them with dabs of half of the ricotta-basil mixture; sprinkle with a third of the Reggiano. Then add another layer of lasagna, half of the remaining bechamel sauce, the remaining vegetables, the remaining ricotta and half of the remaining Reggiano. Top with the last layer of lasagna, then the last of the bechamel and sprinkle with the last Reggiano. Cover and refrigerate or freeze for as long as a month.

LASAGNETTES AU GRATIN WITH ARTICHOKES AND MARJORAM



Lasagnettes Au Gratin with Artichokes and Marjoram image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h13m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2.2 pounds (1 kilogram) flour
8 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 ladle lukewarm water
2 fresh lemons
4 whole artichokes
2 garlic cloves, chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 quart fresh cream
1 small bundle fresh marjoram, leaves chopped, plus extra for garnish
2 fresh tomatoes
7 ounces (200 grams) grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Pour the flour, eggs, and salt in a mixer fitted with a dough hook, and mix until the mixture forms a dough. Knead the dough for 5 minutes in the mixer. The dough should form a ball and be climbing up the dough hook. Add in 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil and 1/2 a ladle of lukewarm water and mix until well combined. Remove the dough from the mixer, cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Roll out with a pasta machine.
  • Squeeze the lemons into a bowl of cold water. Peel and clean the artichokes and plunge them in water and lemon so they don't brown. One by one, slice the artichokes very thinly (you can do this on a mandoline if you prefer), returning to the ice water as you finish. Julienne the strips and return to the acidulated water.
  • Brown the garlic in extra-virgin olive oil. Drain the artichokes and add them with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook on high heat for 8 minutes, then pour in the fresh cream and reduce it all for about 10 minutes. Perfume with fresh marjoram.
  • Wash the tomatoes and plunge them into boiling water for 10 seconds, then plunge them in ice water. Peel them, seed them, and dice them. (Set aside a few tablespoons of diced tomato for garnish.) Get 2 sheets of egg pasta, boil them in salt water, let them cool and cut them with the help of a circular pasta cutter until you have 24 little disks. In an oiled cake pan arrange 4 individual pasta disks and put the artichokes, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, and tomatoes on top. Repeat the procedure 5 times, making 6 layers.
  • Preheat the oven to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C). Bake for 8 minutes. Arrange portions of the lasagna in the center of 4 plates and garnish with diced tomatoes, marjoram leaves and drizzle everything with extra-virgin olive oil. Serve hot.

SPINACH-ARTICHOKE LASAGNA



Spinach-Artichoke Lasagna image

Inspired by the artichoke slice at Artichoke Basille's Pizza in New York City, this white sauce lasagna is a dreamy multilayered dinner. Frizzling chopped canned artichoke hearts in olive oil reduces their water content, thereby concentrating their earthy, buttery flavor. What binds the dish together is a nutmeg-rich béchamel sauce that makes everything taste comforting and familiar. Cottage cheese in place of the more traditional ricotta nixes any potential for the grainy dryness that plagues so many lasagnas. Layering this creamy, saucy wonder in an 8-inch square pan leaves you with the perfect amount of leftovers for when you want some as a snack - a snacking lasagna, if you will.

Provided by Eric Kim

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup olive oil
1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, coarsely chopped and well drained
1 (5-ounce) package baby spinach
Salt and black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups half-and-half (or 2 cups each whole milk and heavy cream)
Freshly grated nutmeg
12 dry lasagna noodles (10 to 12 ounces)
8 ounces cottage cheese (heaping 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (2 ounces)
1 large egg
1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Boil a kettle of water (an electric kettle works great here).
  • Meanwhile, heat a medium saucepan over medium-high. Add the olive oil and artichoke hearts and cook, stirring occasionally, until the artichoke hearts fall apart, become jammy and start to brown at the edges, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the spinach, season with salt and pepper, and stir until considerably wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and return the saucepan to the stove (no need to wash it out).
  • Make the béchamel sauce: In the saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Still whisking constantly, slowly add the half-and-half. Raise the heat to high and bring to a simmer, whisking all the while, then immediately reduce the heat to continue simmering, now whisking occasionally, until the sauce thickens to the consistency of gravy, 10 to 20 minutes. Season generously with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
  • Add half of the béchamel to the bowl with the artichokes. Stir to combine and cool slightly, for about 15 minutes. While the mixture cools, place the lasagna noodles in a large high-sided pan or dish, pour over the recently boiled water from the kettle and let soak until the noodles are softened but not soggy, about 15 minutes. Add the cottage cheese, Parmesan and egg to the artichoke mixture, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
  • Assemble the lasagna: In an 8-inch square baking pan or dish, add enough béchamel to thinly coat the bottom. Put down a single layer of lasagna noodles, about 3 noodles, letting the ends rise up the edges of the pan. Spread half of the artichoke mixture evenly over the noodles. Turn the pan 90 degrees and put down another layer of lasagna noodles, again pressing the ends up against the edges of the pan. Spread half of the béchamel evenly over the noodles. Repeat these layers once more with the remaining lasagna noodles, artichoke mixture and béchamel, ending with the béchamel. Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella on top. (At this point, you can cover the lasagna and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours if not baking right away.)
  • Bake the lasagna until the sauce is bubbling at the edges (especially in the corners of the pan), and the mozzarella and the exposed ends of the noodles are golden brown and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. (Add more time if baking directly from the refrigerator.) Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing so that slices won't collapse when transferred to plates.

Steps:

  • For filling:
  • Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and garlic; sauté until mushrooms release juices and begin to brown, about 7 minutes. Add artichokes and vermouth. Cook until liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For béchamel sauce:
  • Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour; stir 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until sauce thickens and lightly coats spoon, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Stir in 1 1/2 cups Parmesan. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and ground nutmeg.
  • Spread 2/3 cup béchamel sauce over bottom of 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Top with enough noodles to cover bottom of dish. Spread 1/4 of artichoke mixture over. Spoon 2/3 cup béchamel sauce over. Top béchamel with 1/4 of mozzarella.
  • Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons Parmesan. Top with enough noodles to cover. Repeat layering 3 more times, finishing with a layer of noodles, then remaining béchamel. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover with foil and refrigerate.)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake lasagna covered with foil 1 hour (or 1 hour 15 minutes if chilled). Remove foil. Increase temperature to 450°F. Bake lasagna until golden on top, about 10 minutes longer.

Tips for Making Artichokes and Crudites Lasagna

  • Use fresh artichokes whenever possible. If using canned artichokes, rinse them well and drain them before using.
  • To make the lasagna easier to assemble, slice the artichokes and vegetables ahead of time.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the artichokes, carrots, and celery by hand.
  • Use a good quality ricotta cheese. Fresh ricotta cheese will give the lasagna a creamier, more flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcook the lasagna. It should be cooked until the artichokes and vegetables are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to cut.
  • Serve the lasagna with a side salad or roasted vegetables.
