Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 1/2 lbs medium asparagus, ends trimmed, stalks peeled, and cut in half
1 large vidalia onion, peeled, cut in half, and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
salt
fresh coarse ground black pepper
3 sprigs fresh savory, leaves chopped
2 sprigs fresh tarragon, leaves chopped
1 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
2 cups heavy cream
freshly grated nutmeg
3 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
1 lb dry lasagna noodle
1/2 lb grated Fontina cheese
1/2 lb grated mozzarella cheese

  • Sprinkle the lemon juice and zest on top and season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix the vegetables well with your hands, making sure they are evenly coated with the seasonings.
  • Bake until soft and just starting to brown, about 20 minutes.
  • When the vegetables are tender and aromatic, remove from oven and sprinkle with savory and tarragon; toss to combine (the heat from the vegetables will wilt and concentrate the flavors of the herbs.
  • Decrease oven temperature to 425°.
  • In a small saucepan, stir the Parm-Reg cheese into the cream and mix well.
  • Simmer gently over low heat until the cheese is melted and the sauce is fairly smooth (there will be a slight graininess to the sauce b/c of the texture of the cheese).
  • Season with nutmeg, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
  • Add in the chives and stir.
  • Cook dry lasagna in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente; drain the noodles and rinse them with cold water, then lay them out in one layer on a towel to dry.
  • To assemble: lightly coat an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with olive oil.
  • Layer the bottom with pasta, and follow with a layer of asparagus and onion, and a thin layer of fontina cheese and mozzarella cheese.
  • Season lightly; add another layer of pasta and top with more asparagus, half of the parmigiano cream sauce, and another thin layer of fontina and mozzarella.
  • Repeat until you use up the ingredients, ending with a layer of pasta.
  • Pour the remaining pamigiano cream on top, letting it run down the sides a bit.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for about 20 minutes; remove the foil and continue to bake until the top is golden and bubbling, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before cutting.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 lbs fresh asparagus, pencil thin, plus
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt, to taste
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
16 ounces lasagna noodles
1 2/3 cups grated parmesan cheese
1 cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • Cook lasagna noodles and drain.
  • Heat oven to 500°F.
  • Cut off about 1" at the end of the asparagus stalks and discard.
  • Coat the asparagus with olive oil and spread out in a single layer in a baking dish.
  • Roast 5-10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, sprinkle with salt, cut into bite-size pieces, and let cool.
  • Reduce oven to 400°F.
  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add flour and stir for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Combine water and broth; slowly add to flour-butter mixture, constantly stirring.
  • Cook about 5 minutes.
  • Add mozzarella and lemon zest, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
  • Butter a 13 x 9 baking pan.
  • Place a layer of noodles in the pan, then half the sauce, then half the asparagus pieces, then 1/2 cup parmesan.
  • Repeat, then put on the top layer of noodles.
  • In a small bowl combine cream and a dash of salt.
  • Whip until soft peaks form then spoon over noodles.
  • Sprinkle with remaining 2/3 cup parmesan cheese.
  • Bake 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh asparagus and chives. If you can't find fresh chives, you can use 1/4 teaspoon dried chives.
  • Slice the asparagus thinly so that it cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcook the lasagna noodles. They should be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Use a good quality ricotta cheese. Fresh, whole milk ricotta is best.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. A sharp cheddar or a creamy goat cheese would be great additions to this lasagna.
  • Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set.

Conclusion:

This asparagus and chives lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of asparagus, chives, and cheese is simply irresistible. Serve it with a side salad and some crusty bread for a complete meal.
