Broccoli Lasagna image

I got this from the Real Simple magazine. It turned out GREAT, and was a big hit with my company. it is very easy to make, tasty and a little different than your typical lasagna. I am a HUGE fan of broccoli and was excited to try this. I decided to post it to make sure to save the recipe and I know that recipezaar fans will love this too!

Categories     Cheese

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 lasagna, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 lb frozen broccoli florets (thawed, patted dry and chopped)
2 1/4 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 (16 ounce) jar marinara sauce
1/2 cup heavy cream
15 no-boil lasagna noodles
2 sprays cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat over to 400 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, combine ricotta, broccoli, 2 cups mozzarella, 1/4 cup parmesan.
  • In small bowl, combine marina sauce and cream.
  • spoon layer of sauce on bottom of 9 x 13 pan, top with noodles, more sauce, cover with the cheese broccoli mixture. Repeat until it is all gone. Each layer put the noodles in a different direction it makes it easier to cut when you serve! When top layer of noodles is down, sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and parmesan.
  • Cover tightly with sprayed foil and bake 40 minutes. uncover and bake until the top is golden brown.
  • I double the recipe for a bigger group and use one of those "big lasagna" tins from the grocery store. bake a larger sized lasagna about 15 minutes more.
  • Also great to make ahead, freeze and bake later in the week!

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but this lasagna was still really good. The broccoli was cooked perfectly and didn't overpower the other flavors.
