Grilled Veggie Lasagna

 

Ingredients:

• 16-ounce box lasagna noodles
• 32-ounce jar pasta sauce
• 15 ounces Ricotta
• 2 eggs
• 1 pound fresh mozzarella, shredded
• 8 ounces parmesan, shredded
• 10 stalks fresh kale
• 4 squash (green and yellow)
• 1 eggplant
• 3 tomatoes
• 3 heads garlic
• 4 peppers (mix of yellow, red, poblano)
• 1 large red onion
• 6 large mushroom caps (portabellas work well)
• Olive oil

Instructions

• Cut veggies into 1/2” slabs, leaving kale and garlic heads whole.
• Toss in 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
• Prepare lasagna noodles per package instructions.
• Grill the veggies until charred and beginning to soften. The garlic should stay on at the edge of the grill for about 20-30 minutes, until soft. The kale will cook quickly, tossing and turning with tongs continuously for about 2 minutes will provide just enough charting at the edges, and soften the ribs.

• Chop the grilled veggies into roughly 1/2” cubes, keeping them in separate piles for layering. Finely chop the kale.
• Cut the tops off the garlic and squeeze out the cloves -they should be firm enough to squeeze out whole, yet soft enough to mash.
• Combine the ricotta, eggs, Parmesan, finely chopped kale, and garlic.
• In a 9” x 13” lasagna pan, spread a thin layer of sauce then a layer of noodles. Finish layering as follows: squash and onions, noodles, ricotta mixture and portabellas, noodles, eggplant and tomatoes, noodles, peppers, noodles, sauce, then top with mozzarella.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Enjoy!
