Zucchini And Corn Lasagna
- 3 1/2 pounds green or yellow zucchini (10 medium), ends trimmed, thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/2 cup chopped shallot
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 cups raw corn kernels (from 2 or 3 ears corn)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 1 1/4 cups shredded parmesan cheese, divided
- 1 large egg, beaten to blend
- 1/4 cup chopped basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, divided
- Line 3 rimmed baking sheets with paper towels and arrange zucchini in a single layer on top. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 tsp. salt and set aside 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a grill to medium (350u0b0 to 450u0b0). Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add corn and thyme and cook until corn is just hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in ricotta, half of parmesan, the egg, basil, chives, pepper, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt.

Grill half of zucchini, turning once, until grill marks appear, 2 to 4 minutes; transfer to rimmed baking sheets as cooked. Repeat with remaining zucchini.

Evenly spread a third of corn-ricotta mixture over zucchini. Repeat process 2 more times, ending with zucchini. Sprinkle remaining parmesan on top and dot with remaining 1 tbsp. butter.
- Bake until lasagna turns golden brown, about 45 minutes, rotating dish halfway through for even browning. Let rest 20 minutes before serving.
