Pesto Squash Lasagna (Vegetarian)
- 4 cups Loosely Packed Fresh Basil Leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1/4 cups Heavy Cream
- 1/4 cups Half-and-half
- 1 cup Chicken Or Vegetable Stock
- 1/4 cups Pine Nuts, Plus Extra For Topping
- 1/2 cups Grated Parmesan Cheese, Divided
- 8 ounces, weight Mozzarella Cheese, Grated
- No-boil Lasagna Noodles (enough For 1 Pan Of Lasagna)
- 6 whole Small Yellow Squash, Thinly Sliced Into Planks
- In a food processor, combine basil, garlic, cream, half-and-half, stock, pine nuts, and half the parmesan until very smooth.
- The mixture will be thin; add more half-and-half if needed to thin it out to make 2-3 cups of sauce.
- Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper to your preference; set aside.
- The mixture should taste sightly salty as it will be flavoring the noodles and squash in the lasagna.
- Layer the lasagna in the following order: lay a thin layer of the pesto sauce in the bottom of a large baking dish.
- Top with an even layer of noodles, then an even layer of squash planks, layered like the noodles.
- Sprinkle with a handful of the cheese, then pour over a bit more sauce, 1/2 cup or so.
- Repeat 3 or 4 times until all the ingredients are used, ending with noodles, cheese, sauce, and the rest of the parmesan.
- Sprinkle the top of the lasagna with a few extra pine nuts.
- Bake as the noodle box instructs, then let the lasagna rest for 15 minutes.
- Slice gently into squares and serve!
