Tuscan Kale Lasagna image

This hearty lasagna is sure to warm you up on those cold winter nights. Whole milk ricotta and tangy chevre goat cheese, layered with kale and mushrooms. Delicious! If you like more sauce with your lasagna, top with leftover tomato sauce. Serve with a crisp green salad and fresh sourdough bread--yum!

Time 1h50m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 lasagna noodles
1 bunch lacinato kale, stemmed
1 ¾ cups whole milk ricotta cheese
½ cup soft goat cheese
1 egg
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
¼ cup finely chopped fresh basil, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
15 cremini mushrooms, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups tomato-basil sauce (such as Rao's Homemade®)
⅔ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Bring 2 large pots of water (one heavily salted, and one lightly salted) to a boil. Add lasagna noodles to the heavily salted water and parboil for 6 minutes. Remove noodles to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process; drain and set aside.
  • Add kale to the lightly salted water and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Dry thoroughly and rip into large, bite-sized pieces; set aside.
  • Mix ricotta cheese, goat cheese, and egg together in a bowl. Mix in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, basil, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in mushrooms and season with salt. Saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until mushrooms are tender, 3 minutes more. Remove from the heat.
  • Coat the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish with 1/2 cup tomato sauce. Layer ingredients evenly as follows, pressing down firmly after adding each layer of noodles: 2 lasagna noodles, 1/2 the ricotta cheese mixture, all the kale, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, 1/8 cup Parmesan, 2 lasagna noodles placed in opposite direction as first layer, the remaining ricotta mixture, all the mushrooms, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, 1/8 cup Parmesan, the remaining lasagna noodles (alternating direction once more) and tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and remaining Parmesan. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and bake until cheese is golden brown and bubble, about 15 more minutes.

This lasagna was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This lasagna was a disaster! The noodles were mushy and the cheese was rubbery.

I found this lasagna to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This lasagna was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would use less cheese next time.

I'm not a big fan of kale, but I really enjoyed this lasagna. The kale flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the other flavors.
