Last night's main course (and my contribution to this month's Small Household Food Exchange)--spring Vegetable lasagna. Last night's version:
Spread--blend of 1 container of low fat ricotta, 1/2 container of low fat cottage cheese, 2 cups fresh peas, 2 green onions, 1/2 cup flat leaf parsley
Veggies: 2 cups of leeks, 2 cups of asparagus, 2 cups purple kale, 1 cup spring onions, 2 cups fennel--all diced and sauteed in 2 tbsp grapeseed oil with 2 tbsp of butter, salt and pepper;
Mix of cup and a half each of parmesan and asiago cheese
Layer starting with no boil noodles, 3-4 times to just over top of the baking dish. Top last veggie mix with a couple of handfuls of baby argula then the cheese. Top with last noodles, rest of cheese. Add a cup and a half of veggie stock into the dish to moisten the noodles,including the top. Bake covered (foil) on 375 for 35 minutes. Remove foil and broil for an additional 5 minutes to brown the top. This freezes well too.
