Some things I do not do. I do not use tomato sauce the chopped tomatoes have just enough juice to keep the flavors see the picture (not professional) of the lasagna on the plate notice that there is not a ton of red sauce.
Veggie Lasagna
Ingredients2 cups chopped broccoli
3 large carrots sliced (not to thick)
1 onion chopped ( I use red it is sweeter)
3 chopped garlic heads...more or less
4 to 5 sprigs of fresh oregano
1 teaspoon of white sugar - this cuts the acid in the tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes - this gives it a little bite so if you do not like spicy skip it
ricotta cheese (Choose your amount)
mozzarella cheese (Again as much as you like )
chopped tomatoes one 4 oz can or two cups fresh
approximately 10 to 13 lasagna noodles soaked in warm water for 10 minutes
I keep most of my chopping bite size I like to taste my food in every bite not try to figure out
what I just bit into.
How to:
Put a smidgen of olive oil in a large pan and grill the onions and garlic, oh say 10 minutes until they are soft but not brown. Now add the tomatoes and the sugar and salt, pepper and pepper flakes if desired and simmer together about 5 minutes.
If you layer it to much to the top it will bubble over and that is not fun to clean off the bottom of the store and it smells. I always put a cookie sheet under what I cook because it is bit of cleaning insurance.
Note: I am the type of cook that believes that you need to make some decisions on your taste...The veggies put in what you love. The cheese I am not a big cheese head so I put less cheese more veggies...Please go with your own taste and you will see that is what makes it yours...Get personal with your food...
