ROASTED ASPARAGUS LASAGNA
My husband is a "meat and potatoes" kind of guy, so the first time I made this meatless recipe, he was not thrilled. Once he tried it, he was hooked. Now he asks me to prepare it often. -Cindy Macha, Richmond, Texas

THREE-CHEESE LASAGNA WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE
An awesome, basic recipe for good ol' lasagna. The sauce is perfect: hearty and flavorful. This recipe was originally from Epicurious.com, but I have edited it somewhat. This variation is quite a bit cheesier, and uses oven-ready, no-boil noodles. I'm not one to cut corners, but in fact, I think the no-boil variety taste just as good as regular noodles. Using them also eliminates one of the more tedious steps in lasagna-making.

Steps:
- Bend asparagus spears gently to snap off tough end.
- Cut tender parts into 1" pieces.
- Wash under cold running water.
- Shake off excess water and place in microwaveable container.
- Microwave on HI for 3 minutes (alternately, cook in boiling water for 3 minutes).
- Drain and rinse under cold water, drain again.
- Set aside 1 1/2 cups asparagus tips.
- In saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Gradually whisk in flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- Whisk in milk and stirring constantly, cook for 10 minutes or until thickened.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in cream cheese, lemon rind, lemon juice, salt, pepper and nutmeg until cheese is melted.
- Meanwhile, cook noodles in boiling water until tender (about 10 minutes).
- Place 3 noodles in a 13x9 baking dish.
- Spread with one cup sauce, then 1/4 of the asparagus (not including reserved tips), then 1/4 of the mozzarella.
- Repeat layers 3 more times then top with final layer of noodles and sauce.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 35-40 minutes or until bubbling and golden.
- Sprinkle reserved asparagus tips over top.
- Bake for an additional 5 minutes.
- Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Use fresh asparagus. Fresh asparagus will have a snappy texture and a bright green color. Avoid asparagus that is limp or has brown spots.
- Cook the asparagus until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and lose its flavor. To test if the asparagus is done, pierce it with a fork. It should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
- Use a variety of cheeses. The three cheeses used in this recipe (ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan) create a rich and flavorful filling. You can also use other types of cheese, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Fontina.
- Don't overcook the lasagna. The lasagna is done when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the noodles are tender. Overcooked lasagna will be dry and tough.
- Let the lasagna rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set. Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
This three-cheese asparagus lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The asparagus adds a fresh and springy flavor to the lasagna, while the three cheeses create a rich and creamy filling. This lasagna is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
