Zucchini Lasagna With Walnuts image

This recipe came from Better Homes and Gardens. It's the first time I've used the no-boil lasagna noodles, and they were just fine. Certainly speeds things up. The quality/flavor of your marinara will of course affect the result - I use a garlicky one that I like. Not all no-boil lasagna noodles are the same size. Use enough to have 3 even, single layers. Hope you enjoy!

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium zucchini
4 teaspoons olive oil
2 large carrots, finely chopped
2 large onions, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups marinara sauce (store bought or home-made)
1 tablespoon fresh basil, snipped or 1 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded (6 ounces)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
6 no-boil lasagna noodles
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Trim ends off zucchini. Thinly slice zucchini lengthwise. You should have 9 slices total, about 1/8 inch thick. Place in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet; brush lightly with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat about 5 minutes until crisp tender, turning once. Cool.
  • Grease a 2 quart square baking dish.
  • In a large saucepan heat the remaining 3 teaspoons olive oil over medium high heat. Add the carrots, onion and garlic; cook and stir about 5 minutes or until tender. Add marinara sauce, basil, and pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • In a small mixing bowl toss together the mozzarella cheese and parmesan; set aside.
  • In the prepared baking dish arrange 2 noodles. Spread with a third of the sauce. Sprinkle with a third of the nuts. Top with a third of the zucchini, then sprinkle with a third of the cheese mixture. Repeat layering, alternating the direction of the zucchini in each layer and finishing with the zucchini; set remaining cheese aside.
  • Bake covered, in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, about 20 minutes more or until heated through. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
  • MAKE AHEAD TIP: Prepare lasagna as directed, except do not bake. Wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Freeze cheese for topping separately. To serve, thaw in refrigerator overnight. Bake, covered, in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour. Sprinkle with reserved cheese. Bake, uncovered, about 15 minutes more, or until heated through. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

I had some trouble finding zucchini lasagna noodles at the store. I ended up using regular lasagna noodles and they worked just fine.

This lasagna was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.
