While there are many funny jokes/quotes, this is one of my favorites and one I could find on the internet. It is not quite often that you find a meatless lasagne in an Italian Restaurant.The lasagna, a one pot dish,is usually a crowd pleaser with its rich flavors and great textures, with alternating layers of Vegetables & cheese and cooked noodles. There are plenty of recipes in the internet but the inspiration comes from Oprah.com.
16 - 18 sheets of Lasagna Noodles
6 cups Marinara Sauce, store bought
24 ounces Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup Italian Seasoning
32 Ounces of Italian blend of cheeses
1 egg plant,cut in circles
6 Zucchini,cut in circles
2 cups of Fresh Spinach
1 cup Broccoli
1 cup Mushrooms, chopped
2 Onions, sliced
2 cans diced tomatoes
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- In a sauce pan, heat 3 tablespoons of oil.
- Saute the veggies until the water from the veggies evaporates
- Stir in the Italian Seasoning
- Boil the Noodles as per the instructions on the package
- Preheat the oven to 350F
- I used a 8X13 rectangular glass pan
- Spread a table spoon of Marinara sauce on the bottom of the pan
- Layer 3 - 4 noodles in the bottom
- On top of the noodles, spread 1/3 of the Marinara Sauce, 1/2 of the Ricotta Cheese, 1/2 of the vegetable mixture,and 1/2 of the Italian Cheeses
- Cover it with Noodles again
- Repeat the process one more time
- Layer the remaining noodles on the top.
- Spread the remaining Marinara sauce and if you would like more cheese
- Cover the pan tightly with an aluminum foil and bake it for 35 minutes
- Remove the cover and bake for an additional 10 min at 450F
- Remove the pan and let it sit for about half hour
- Cut the Lasagna into 2X2 squares and serve with more cheese if desired
