Time 1h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups cooked vegetables (choose 2 or whatever combo you like, asparagus and mushroom, zucchini and spinach, broccoli and carr)
4 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onions or 1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons salt, plus
1/4 teaspoon salt
15 no-boil lasagna noodles
2 1/2 cups milk
1 cup canned chicken broth
6 garlic cloves, smashed with the side of a knife
5 tablespoons flour
fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 1/4 cups grated parmesan cheese
1/2 lb Fontina cheese, grated (or provolone, 2 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Heat 2 Tbs. butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet.
  • Add onion; cook until soft and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Mix 1 1/2 Tbs. salt and 2 quarts very hot tap water in a 13-by-9-inch lasagna pan.
  • Add noodles and soak until soft and pliable, 10 minutes.
  • Drain and stack loosely. (Noodles tend to stick together as they dry, but pull apart easily.).
  • Make Creamy Parmesan Sauce: Microwave milk, broth and garlic in a 1 quart microwave-safe container on high power until steaming hot, about 8 minutes. (Or slowly heat in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.)
  • Fish out garlic; discard.
  • Melt 2 1/2 Tbs. butter over medium heat in a large saucepan; when foaming subsides, whisk in flour and continue to cook, whisking constantly, until well blended.
  • Pour in milk mixture all at once and whisk vigorously until sauce is smooth and starts to bubble and thicken.
  • Stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan, 1/4 teaspoons salt and pepper to taste.
  • Remove from heat; place plastic wrap directly on the sauce's surface.
  • Adjust rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Smear 1/4 cup of the sauce over bottom of baking dish.
  • Assemble the next 4 layers in the following order: 3 noodles, 2/3 cup sauce, 1/4 of the onions, 1/2 of one of the cooked vegetables (alternating each layer), 1/2 cup fontina and 2 Tbs. Parmesan.
  • Assemble final layer with remaining noodles, sauce and cheeses.
  • Seal with foil and bake until bubbly, about 35 minutes.
  • Remove foil, then broil until cheese is spotty brown, 5-7 minutes longer.
  • Let stand 10-15 minutes before serving.

Roasted Vegetable Lasagna with Pesto Cream Sauce image

Here's a new twist on lasagna made with vegetables and a creamy pesto base. It's a great option for entertaining when you need to satisfy a lot of different guests' tastes. The roasted vegetables also make a great side dish that goes with any meat. They can be made a day in advance. I often bake a double batch and set half aside to go with another meal.

2 zucchini, sliced lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch squares
2 cups bite-sized broccoli pieces
1 ½ cups bite-sized baby carrot pieces
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 lasagna noodles, or more as needed
1 cup Alfredo sauce
2 tablespoons pesto, or more to taste
1 (16 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
⅓ (6 ounce) package fresh spinach

  • Toss the roasted vegetables with Alfredo sauce and pesto until well coated. Spread mixture over the noodles in the dish. Place another layer of noodles over the vegetables.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese is melted, 30 to 35 minutes. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes to lightly brown the top layer, if desired.
