1 (16 ounce) box lasagna noodles
4 tablespoons butter, divided
2 teaspoons smoked paprika, divided
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
1 tablespoon freshly chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup broccoli floret

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 13 by 9-inch pan.

  • In a small microwavable bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon paprika, and the red pepper flakes. Microwave for 30 seconds to melt the butter. Add the panko, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan and the parsley. Mix well and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add oil. Gently add the broccoli and cauliflower. Stir in the zucchini and squash, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons butter and the onions and saute until translucent. Whisk in 2 teaspoons of cracked black pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika, the flour and 1 tablespoon of garlic. Add the milk and vegetable stock and season with salt, to taste. Whisk together and allow to simmer for a few minutes, then stir in the remaining 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan.
  • Ladle some of the sauce into the bottom of the prepared pan, then add a layer of noodles, then some vegetables and some more sauce. Add another layer of noodles, then the cottage cheese, then vegetables, then some mozzarella and sauce again. Repeat and finish with a layer of noodles.
  • Cover with the remaining sauce and top with the panko mixture. Cover with foil and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The last 10 minutes, remove the foil to get a crunchier crust. Remove from the oven and allow to rest before cutting and serving.

Triple cheese & aubergine lasagne image

Fill sheets of pasta with tomato, aubergine and ricotta for a delicious vegetarian main - perfect for feeding a crowd

Provided by Katy Greenwood

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Pasta

Time 2h45m

Number Of Ingredients 20

12-16 fresh lasagne sheets
4 tbsp olive oil
3 large aubergines , cut into small chunks
2 large onions , chopped
4 garlic cloves , finely chopped
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato purée
1 tsp golden caster sugar
pinch of chilli flakes
small handful basil leaves , finely chopped
dash of soy sauce
500g ricotta
50g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative) finely grated
2 medium eggs , beaten
¼ tsp grated nutmeg
500g milk
50g plain flour
50g butter
100g mature cheddar , grated
1 tsp English mustard

Steps:

  • First, make the tomato & aubergine sauce. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the aubergine in 3 batches, adding 1 tbsp oil for each batch. They should be softened and lightly golden.
  • Add the remaining oil to the pan and cook the onions for 5 mins until softened. Stir in the garlic, cook for 1 min more, then return the aubergine to the pan with the tomatoes, tomato purée, sugar and chilli flakes. Bring just to the boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook for 10 mins. Take off the heat, stir in the basil and soy sauce, and season to taste.
  • Mix together all the ingredients for the ricotta filling, season and set aside - or cover and leave in the fridge if making in advance. Both the aubergine and the ricotta sauce can be chilled for up to 2 days.
  • For the cheese sauce, add all the ingredients to a pan and cook over a medium heat, stirring all the time, until it thickens and the cheese has melted, then turn down the heat to low and cook for another 5 mins. Season to taste.
  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. To assemble the lasagne, spoon half the aubergine mixture into the bottom of a large baking dish. Top with a layer of lasagne sheets, then spread over a ricotta layer. Add another layer of lasagne sheets, followed by the remaining aubergine mixture and another layer of lasagne sheets. Pour over the cheese sauce (it can now be frozen for 1 month - defrost before cooking). Bake in the oven for 50 mins-1 hr until golden and heated through.
