BROCCOLI CHICKEN LASAGNA



Broccoli Chicken Lasagna image

I came up with this when I didn't have any tomato sauce and tried using a white sauce and it turned out really good! I don't really care for broccoli, so I will cut up the broccoli into small pieces when made into the sauce. Being a Latter Day Saint, we have a three hour church service, so I like to make this on a Saturday and on Sunday, just before we leave for church I will put it in the oven straight from the fridge and bake at 250-275 degrees and when we come home from church, it is cooked well and ready to eat. Therefore, this lasagna can be made well in advanced!

BROCCOLI RABE LASAGNA



Broccoli Rabe Lasagna image

Broccoli rabe (sometimes spelled raab, or known as rapini greens) is one of the most delicious members of the mustard green family. The leaves, tender stems and broccoli-like buds have a distinctive pleasant bitterness when cooked. For this vegetarian lasagna, some of the cooked greens are puréed to make a garlicky pesto and the rest is coarsely chopped and added to the layers. Find more lasagna recipes.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, lunch, pastas, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups half-and-half, heated, plus a little more if necessary
Salt and pepper
Pinch of cayenne
Grated nutmeg, to taste
1 pound dry lasagna noodles
Salt and pepper
2 bunches broccoli rabe, about 2 pounds
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound ricotta cheese
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
4 tablespoons butter
4 ounces grated Parmesan, about 2 cups, or a combination of Parmesan and pecorino

Steps:

  • Make the béchamel: Melt butter in a small saucepan. Whisk in flour and cook for a minute over medium heat without browning. Gradually whisk in half-and-half, 1/2 cup at a time, to obtain a smooth, lightly thickened sauce. Turn heat to low. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, some ground black pepper, the cayenne and nutmeg. Cook, whisking, for 4 to 5 minutes, then place saucepan in a hot-water bath to keep sauce warm. Thin if necessary with a little more half-and-half.
  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to the boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook for 5 minutes. Lift noodles from water with a spider and rinse well in a bowl of cold water. Drain and lay noodles flat on a kitchen towel.
  • Using the same cooking water, blanch the greens for 1 minute, until just wilted. Rinse greens with cool water, squeeze dry and chop them roughly. Put 1 cup of chopped greens, the minced garlic and 1/2 cup olive oil in a food processor or blender and purée to make a pesto. Season with salt and pepper to taste and transfer to a small bowl.
  • Mix the ricotta and lemon zest in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Organize to have all ingredients within easy reach for assembling lasagna. Use 2 tablespoons butter to grease an 8-by-10-inch baking dish.
  • Assemble the lasagna: Put a layer of cooked noodles on the bottom of the baking dish. Spoon a quarter of the béchamel over noodles, then dot with a third of the ricotta. Complete layer with chopped greens, a drizzle of pesto and some grated cheese. Continue layering, finishing with a layer of pasta. Spread the last of the béchamel on top and sprinkle with Parmesan. (There should be 4 layers of pasta and 3 layers of filling.)
  • Dot with remaining butter and bake, covered with foil, for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for 20 minutes more, until nicely browned and bubbling. Let lasagna rest 10 minutes before serving.

LASAGNA WITH ROASTED BROCCOLI



Lasagna With Roasted Broccoli image

The broccoli part of this recipe is adapted from Molly Stevens' Blasted Broccoli in her wonderful book "All About Roasting."

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, casseroles, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 pounds broccoli, crowns only
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
8 ounces ricotta cheese
1 egg
2 tablespoons water
Pinch of cinnamon
2 anchovy fillets, rinsed (optional)
3 cups marinara sauce, preferably homemade from fresh or canned tomatoes
7 to 8 ounces no-boil lasagna
4 ounces (1 cup) freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the broccoli crowns 1/3 inch thick, letting the florets on the edges fall off. Peel any large pieces of stem by gently pulling away the thick skin, then toss the slices and the unattached florets with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on the baking sheet in an even layer. Roast, stirring and flipping the large slices over (tongs are a good tool for this) after 8 minutes, until the broccoli is tender when pierced with a knife and the tops are nicely browned, about 15 minutes total. Remove from the oven and set aside. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees.
  • Blend the ricotta cheese with the egg, water, cinnamon, salt and pepper.
  • Chop the anchovies and stir into the tomato sauce. Oil a rectangular baking dish and spread a spoonful of tomato sauce over the bottom. Top with a layer of lasagna noodles. Spoon a thin layer of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Top with a layer of broccoli, then a layer of tomato sauce and a layer of Parmesan. Repeat the layers until the ingredients are used up, ending with a layer of lasagna noodles topped with tomato sauce and Parmesan.
  • Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and place in the oven. Bake 40 minutes, until the noodles are tender and the mixture is bubbling. Uncover and, if you wish, bake another 10 minutes, until the top begins to brown. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.

POLENTA AND BROCCOLI RABE LASAGNA



Polenta and Broccoli Rabe Lasagna image

This lasagna layers noodles, polenta, mozzarella, sauce and broccoli rabe for a wonderfully savory and multi-textured one-dish meal. A note about the lasagna noodles: You don't have to boil them, nor do you have to buy special no-boil noodles. You can soak the noodles in a bowl of water while you prepare the other ingredients, then slap them in the casserole dish. They will start to soften in their cold bath and finish cooking as the lasagna bakes.

Categories     dinner, casseroles, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

18 dry lasagna noodles (from 1 package)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/8 teaspoon red chile flakes, plus more for serving (optional)
1 28-ounce can or box chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
1 large bunch broccoli rabe (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 1/4 cups quick-cooking polenta
18-ounce container mascarpone or fresh ricotta
4 ounces parmesan, finely grated (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn into bite-size pieces
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the lasagna noodles in a large bowl of cold water to soak (if you are using no-boil noodles, you can skip this step). Lightly oil a 9- by 13-inch baking pan.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and chili flakes; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and the basil. Remove from heat.
  • Remove the tough lower stem ends of the broccoli rabe. Cut the remaining stems, leaves and florets into 1-inch pieces. Fill a pot with 8 cups water and 2 tablespoons salt. Bring water to a boil and add the broccoli rabe. Cook 30 seconds, then use a slotted spoon to transfer broccoli rabe to a bowl.
  • Slowly whisk the polenta into the water. Simmer until polenta is thick and creamy, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the mascarpone or ricotta, 1/2 cup parmesan and the butter, and stir until combined. Stir in the broccoli rabe.
  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Arrange a single layer of lasagna noodles in the bottom of the pan. Tear or break any pieces as needed to fit them in one layer, with no overlapping. Top with a third of the polenta mixture, half the tomato sauce and a third of the mozzarella. Arrange a second layer of lasagna noodles over the mozzarella. Repeat layering of polenta, sauce and mozzarella. Arrange a final layer of noodles over the cheese and finish with the remaining polenta and mozzarella. Scatter 1/2 cup parmesan and the black pepper over the top.
  • Transfer casserole to the oven. Bake until cheese is golden and bubbling, 30 to 40 minutes. Let stand 20 minutes before serving. Serve with more chili flakes scattered on top, if you like.

BROCCOLI MUSHROOM LASAGNA



Broccoli Mushroom Lasagna image

Once my mom made this lasagna, it was pretty much the only kind she ever made. I loved this lasagna before I even liked mushrooms OR broccoli.

Provided by Chelsea Ferwerda

Categories     Soups

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 sm can(s) cream of mushroom soup or creamed mushrooms
3 Tbsp margarine
2 green onions, minced
12 oz chopped mushrooms
1/4 c flour
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
2 1/2 c milk
salt to taste
1 pkg broccoli (10 oz), chopped, cooked, and well drained
2 c cottage cheese
8 oz mozzarella cheese
1/2 c parmesan cheese
black pepper, to tase
1 pkg lasagna noodles, cooked

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • 2. Melt the margarine in a heavy saucepan. Add the onions and mushrooms. Cook over medium heat until tender (about 6 minutes).
  • 3. Blend in the flour, cayenne, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk. Cook and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • 4. Spread 1/2 cup of the mushroom sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Season the lasagna noodles with pepper and layer in 3 levels with the broccoli, the cottage cheese, mozzarella, creamed mushrooms, and parmesan cheese. Sprinkle some more cheese on top.
  • 5. Bake for 45 minutes. Let stand 20 minutes before cutting.

Tips:

  • Prep your broccoli beforehand: Blanch or steam the broccoli florets until tender-crisp. This will help remove the bitterness and make them more palatable in the lasagna.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses adds richness, creaminess, and a nutty flavor to the lasagna.
  • Make your own lasagna noodles: If you have the time, making your own lasagna noodles is a great way to elevate the dish. Fresh pasta has a better texture and flavor than store-bought noodles.
  • Don't skimp on the sauce: The sauce is the backbone of any lasagna. Use a flavorful and robust sauce that will complement the other ingredients.
  • Layer it right: The order of the layers is important in lasagna. Start with a layer of sauce, followed by noodles, cheese, and vegetables. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the pan.
  • Bake it until golden brown: The lasagna is done baking when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is golden brown. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Broccoli lasagna is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its combination of tender broccoli, rich cheeses, and flavorful sauce, it's sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this broccoli lasagna recipe a try.
