ZUCCHINI LASAGNA WITH WALNUTS



Zucchini Lasagna With Walnuts image

This recipe came from Better Homes and Gardens. It's the first time I've used the no-boil lasagna noodles, and they were just fine. Certainly speeds things up. The quality/flavor of your marinara will of course affect the result - I use a garlicky one that I like. Not all no-boil lasagna noodles are the same size. Use enough to have 3 even, single layers. Hope you enjoy!

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium zucchini
4 teaspoons olive oil
2 large carrots, finely chopped
2 large onions, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups marinara sauce (store bought or home-made)
1 tablespoon fresh basil, snipped or 1 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded (6 ounces)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
6 no-boil lasagna noodles
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Trim ends off zucchini. Thinly slice zucchini lengthwise. You should have 9 slices total, about 1/8 inch thick. Place in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet; brush lightly with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat about 5 minutes until crisp tender, turning once. Cool.
  • Grease a 2 quart square baking dish.
  • In a large saucepan heat the remaining 3 teaspoons olive oil over medium high heat. Add the carrots, onion and garlic; cook and stir about 5 minutes or until tender. Add marinara sauce, basil, and pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • In a small mixing bowl toss together the mozzarella cheese and parmesan; set aside.
  • In the prepared baking dish arrange 2 noodles. Spread with a third of the sauce. Sprinkle with a third of the nuts. Top with a third of the zucchini, then sprinkle with a third of the cheese mixture. Repeat layering, alternating the direction of the zucchini in each layer and finishing with the zucchini; set remaining cheese aside.
  • Bake covered, in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, about 20 minutes more or until heated through. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
  • MAKE AHEAD TIP: Prepare lasagna as directed, except do not bake. Wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Freeze cheese for topping separately. To serve, thaw in refrigerator overnight. Bake, covered, in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour. Sprinkle with reserved cheese. Bake, uncovered, about 15 minutes more, or until heated through. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

ZUCCHINI LASAGNA RECIPE BY TASTY



Zucchini Lasagna Recipe by Tasty image

When it comes to comfort food, there are few meals as satisfying as warm, cheesy lasagna. This recipe is a lighter take on classic lasagna. It's made with thinly sliced zucchini in place of noodles, and it calls for ground turkey for the meat sauce, but it still contains everything you love about the classic dish.

FRESH LASAGNA WITH WALNUT PESTO



Fresh Lasagna with Walnut Pesto image

Provided by Claire Thomas : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield For 2 to 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
Olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup walnuts
2 medium cloves garlic, crushed
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino Romano cheese
1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large zucchini or summer squash, thinly sliced lengthwise (about the thickness of lasagna noodles) into 9 slices
1 to 2 tomatoes, halved then sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/4 cup roughly chopped basil
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Roast the cherry tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
  • Place the cherry tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until the tomatoes are juicy and slightly caramelized, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, make the walnut pesto: Combine the walnuts, garlic, cheese and basil in a food processor and process until smooth. Add big pinches each of salt and pepper. With the machine running, drizzle in the olive oil. Add more salt and pepper, to taste. Set the pesto aside.
  • To assemble: Place 3 slices of the zucchini, slightly overlapping them, on a large plate. Add enough pesto to coat the zucchini (2 to 3 tablespoons). Top with a layer of sliced tomatoes. Top with 3 more zucchini slices, some of the pesto and cherry tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of the basil. Top with another layer of zucchini, pesto, sliced tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and the remaining 2 tablespoons basil. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a mandoline slicer to get evenly thin zucchini slices. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the zucchini slices. Cook them in batches if necessary to prevent them from steaming instead of sautéing.
  • Use a flavorful sauce for the lasagna. A simple tomato sauce or a creamy béchamel sauce will both work well.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese. Cheese is what makes lasagna so delicious and satisfying. Use a combination of mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta cheeses for the best results.
  • Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it set and make it easier to cut.

Conclusion:

Zucchini lasagna is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It's a great way to use up zucchini from your garden or farmers market, and it's also a good option for vegetarians and vegans. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a zucchini lasagna that your whole family will love.
