Best 4 Vegetarian Cannellini Bean Lasagna Recipes

BLACK BEAN LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Warm oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions, 3 cloves of chopped garlic, and green and red bell peppers. Cook until the onions are soft and translucent. Stir in tomatoes with juice, salsa, and black beans. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, and cook about 3 minutes.
• In a bowl, mash the avocados with 1 clove chopped garlic and lemon juice.
• Place a layer of tortillas on the bottom of the baking dish. Spread 1/3 of the tomato and bean mixture on top. Spread 1/2 of guacamole on top, then sprinkle with 1/3 of cheese. Lay out another layer of tortillas. Top with half of the remaining tomato and bean mixture. Then spread remaining guacamole on top. Sprinkle with half the cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until sauce is bubbly.

EASY VEGETARIAN RED BEANS LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion until tender. Mix in garlic, and cook until heated through. Mix in red beans, tomatoes, and red bell pepper. Season with basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and gradually mix in flour until smooth. Slowly stir in the milk. Mix in Parmesan cheese, and continue to cook and stir until slightly thickened.
• Spread 1/2 the red bean mixture in a 9x9 inch casserole dish, and top with 2 lasagna noodles. Layer with remaining bean mixture and remaining noodles. Cover with the sauce, and top with Gruyere cheese.
• Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned.

CHEESY WHITE BEAN-TOMATO BAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 475 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the garlic until it's lightly golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste (be careful of splattering) and fry for 30 seconds, reducing the heat as needed to prevent the garlic from burning.
• Add the beans, water and generous pinches of salt and pepper and stir to combine. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top, then bake until the cheese has melted and browned in spots, 5 to 10 minutes. If the top is not as toasted as you'd like, run the skillet under the broiler for a minute or 2. Serve at once.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH LASAGNA WITH CANNELLINI BEANS

Steps:

• Peel and dice the butternut squash. Toss with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Place pieces on a cookie sheet covered in tinfoil with non-stick spray and roast at 400F for 40 minutes, or until squash is tender.
• About 10 minutes before the squash is done, melt the butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, carrots, and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the thyme and oregano.
• Add the garlic and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
• Add the chopped roasted butternut squash and about 1/4 of the beans with their liquid. Mash this mixture together and then add the rest of the beans to the Dutch oven.
• Pour in the white wine, and add a bit of water if you think it needs to be thinner. Reduce heat to low, and simmer while you make the béchamel.
• In another pot, melt the butter for the béchamel. Over medium heat, add the flour and whisk until smooth. Stir regularly until the mixture turns golden brown, about 6 to 7 minutes.
• Heat the milk in a separate pan until it is just about to boil. Whisk the milk into the butter mixture until the sauce is smooth.
• Bring to a boil and cook for 30 seconds longer. Remove from the heat and season with salt and nutmeg.
• To assemble: Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Brush a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with melted butter.
• Layer the ingredients in this order: béchamel, pasta, butternut squash filling, and cheese. You should make 3 to 4 layers of pasta, finishing with béchamel and 1/4 cup of the mozzarella and ricotta sprinkled over the top.
• Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
• Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 20 minutes, slice, and serve.
