Free-Form Vegetarian Lasagna
- 6 whole No-boil Flat Lasagna Sheets
- 2 cups Cherry (or Grape) Tomatoes, Yellow Or Red (or Both)
- 3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Divided
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 3 pinches Coarse Salt And Freshly Ground Pepper, Divided Use
- 1 whole Zucchini, Cut Into Thin Circles
- 1 whole Squash, Cut Into Thin Circles
- 1 bunch Swiss Chard, Chopped
- 2 cups Ricotta Cheese
- 1 Tablespoon Freshly Chopped Mixed Herbs (I Used Thyme And Oregano)
- 1/4 cups Toasted Walnut, For Garnish
- 1/4 cups Fresh Parmesan Shavings And Basil Leaves, For Garnish
- Place the lasagna sheets in a shallow dish filled with water.
- Soak for 30 minutes (while you prepare the rest of the meal).
- Pulse the tomatoes in a food processor until smooth, then set them aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and let it bloom for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Pour the tomatoes into the saucepan as well as a pinch of salt and pepper, cover and simmer on low while you prepare the rest of the meal.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the zucchini and squash and saute until browned and soft, 4 minutes.
- Add the Swiss chard and continue to saute until it wilts, another 2 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with the herbs and another pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pat each lasagna sheet dry and place one on each serving plate.
- Arrange some vegetables over each sheet, followed by a dollop of the herbed ricotta.
- Layer with another sheet and some more veggies.
- Then more ricotta.
- Then another sheet.
- Then more veggies, one more dollop of ricotta.
- Finally, spoon the tomato sauce over each pile.
- Go as crazy as you want here.
- Garnish with toasted walnuts, Parmesan shavings and a few fresh basil leaves.
- And probably another pinch of salt and pepper, for good measure.
- Recipe makes enough for 2.
