Time 2h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 zucchini, thinly sliced
6 large mushrooms, thinly sliced
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 cup water
1 bunch kale, torn into bite-sized pieces
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 (26 ounce) cans pasta sauce
1 (12 ounce) box no-boil lasagna noodles
9 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1 (8 ounce) package bocconcini cheese, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Toss red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, and 4 tablespoons olive oil together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer vegetables to the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Turn vegetables and roast 10 to 15 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add torn kale and cook until just darkened in color, about 1 minute. Drain.
  • Heat remaining olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add drained kale and cook until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Remove bell peppers from the oven and adjust oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Layer pasta sauce, lasagna noodles, roasted bell pepper mixture, and grated mozzarella cheese into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Add another layer of noodles, pasta sauce, kale, and sliced bocconcini cheese. Continue layers until ingredients are used up, being sure to place noodle layers and sauce next to each other to prevent dry noodles.
  • Bake lasagna in the hot oven until bubbling and noodles are soft, about 45 minutes. Let cool 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 zucchini, sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch planks
1 large eggplant, sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch planks
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
2 cups ricotta
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 egg
One 32-ounce jar marinara sauce
1 box no-boil lasagna noodles
2 cups shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F; place two baking sheets in the oven to preheat.
  • Drizzle the zucchini and eggplant slices on both sides with olive oil to coat. Carefully add the vegetables to the hot baking sheets--they should sizzle. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Roast until the vegetables are tender, 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • While the roasted vegetables are cooling, heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the ricotta, parsley, egg and a big pinch of salt and pepper.
  • In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, add 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the marinara sauce and spread to cover the bottom of the pan. Lay down enough lasagna noodles to cover the sauce, and then sprinkle with one-third of the browned sausage. Cover the sausage with one-third of the roasted zucchini and eggplant, spread with half of the ricotta mixture and sprinkle with one-third of the mozzarella. Repeat the sequence of marinara, noodles, sausage, vegetables, ricotta and mozzarella. For the third and final layer, repeat as before, only without the ricotta. Finish by sprinkling the Parmesan over the top.
  • Place the lasagna in the oven and cook until bubbly and browned on top, 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

ROASTED VEGETABLE LASAGNA



Roasted Vegetable Lasagna image

How can you take and make yet another lasagna and make it different - well I took almost all the vegetables to the grill and cooked them there first and the flavors where awesome even better if you use a mesquite or hickory chip smoke

Provided by Ravenseyes

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h25m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup onion (diced)
1 cup celery (diced)
3 tablespoons garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (crushed)
3 cups cherry tomatoes
28 ounces pasta sauce (your favorite brand)
2 tablespoons basil or 2 tablespoons rosemary
2 medium eggplants (not peeled)
2 zucchini
2 yellow squash
5 carrots (peeled)
1 lb asparagus
2 red bell peppers
4 cups cheese or 5 cups silken tofu
olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot add 2 tsps olive oil - add onions, celery, garlic and cook till onions are transparent. Add pepper flakes and tomatoes and simmer over low heat. Add your pasta sauce, herbs and continue to simmer while you create the remainder of the dish.
  • Take Eggplant and slice horizontally (all vegetables are done on horizontal cuts) slicing approximately 1/4" thick - place in a large dish cover with kosher salt and place a layer of plastic wrap over top of the eggplant - place a heavy object on top to weight the eggplant. Leave this until you can see a remarkable amount of fluids at the bottom of the dish. Approximately 50 minutes to and hour and a half. Wash the eggplant and pat dry - this is what is known as blanching or proofing your eggplant - it removes any bitterness the eggplant may have.
  • Cut the remainder of your vegetables - zucchini, squash and carrots in the same horizontal fashion approximately 1/4" thick. Along with the asparagus - place all of your vegetables in a large bowl and cover with a generous amount of Extra Virgin Olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. The Red Peppers can be roasted whole and then cleaned and cut into segments after grilling. Preheat your grill (indoor or outdoor - if using outdoor I sometimes try to add some hickory or mesquite smokiness to it) the grill should be close to 400 degrees -- place all of the vegetables on the grill - turning after 4-5 minutes or until a nice char has been made. Remove vegetables to a sheet pan to cool.
  • Take the asparagus and cut into 1 inch pieces and place in your sauce.
  • In a large 8 x 13 baking pan add 1/2 cup of your sauce to the bottom of the dish and spread evenly over the bottom. Arrange your eggplant over the bottom of the dish (these are used in place of any lasagna noodles that you would use in regular lasagna).
  • Using one half of your vegetables (except the zucchini and squash) layer them over top of the eggplant - using 1/3 of your sauce cover with sauce and then with the cheese. Your next layer will be the zucchini and squash. Repeat with your roasted vegetables - sauce and cheese - bake in 350 degree oven until cheese is bubbling and melted -- enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your lasagna a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms, and spinach.
  • Roast the vegetables before adding them to the lasagna. This will help them to caramelize and develop a richer flavor. You can also roast the vegetables ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to use them.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in lasagna, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that will melt well. Some good options include mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan.
  • Don't overcook the lasagna. Lasagna is best when it is cooked through but still has a little bit of a bite to it. Overcooked lasagna will be dry and tough.
  • Let the lasagna rest before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together and the lasagna to set properly. Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Roasted vegetable and kale lasagna is a delicious and healthy vegetarian dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a lasagna that is sure to impress your family and friends.
