Reign On Steve’s Vegetable Lasagna -Week 17

The Bills blanked the Dolphins last week giving us the division now they would like to be a spoiler but they have lost 24 of their last 26 games versus the New England and roll into Foxborough as the underdog. I say let them come, play and go home only with a plate of this lasagna.

Ingredients

• 1 box of lasagna noodles ( this time I cheated and used the oven ready ones)
• 1 container (32 oz.) Dragone Part-Skim Ricotta cheese
• 1 large zucchini slice very thin lengthwise – I used a mandolin
• I carrot julienned and roughly chopped
• 1 egg, beaten
• About 1-1/2 tsp. dried oregano
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp. pepper
• 1 package (16 oz.) Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• ¾ cup grated Parmesan Cheese
• Pasta sauce -3-5 cups

How

Heat oven to 375

Combine the ricotta, egg, oregano, salt and pepper.

Add 3 cups of Mozzarella and ½ cup of Parmesan cheese mix thoroughly



Spread one cup of sauce on bottom of glass 13*9 pan



Place one layer of noodles – I laid them across since the fit nicely

Cover with a layer of cheese mixture

More sauce

Layer of zucchini and all the carrot



Cheese mixture

Sauce

Pasta

Cheese and sauce

I guess in whatever order you really want to.



Cover tightly with foil



Bake for about an hour minutes until sauce is bubbly

Cover with the remaining cheeses and bake until melted about 10 minutes uncovered

I also finished off with 2 minutes under the broiler I like that very slight crunchiness

Cover loosely and let sit for at least 15 minutes



I served with sauce, meatballs, chicken sausage and salad with 18 year old balsamic vinegar mmmmmmm anything is better with 18 year old balsamic vinegar
