Best 6 Vegetarian Lasagna Oamc Makes 3 Meals Recipes

VEGETARIAN LASAGNA

Steps:

• For the sauce: Put the olive oil and garlic in a medium pot over low heat. Cook the garlic, stirring occasionally at first and more often as it colors, until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-low, add the onions and a large pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bay leaves, basil sprig, thyme and 1 teaspoon salt, raise the heat to medium and bring the sauce to a lively simmer. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until quite thick (if you draw a spoon through the sauce, you'll see the bottom of the pot for a few seconds before the sauce fills back in), about 30 minutes. As the sauce thickens, turn the heat down a bit so the bottom doesn't scorch. Stir in the chopped basil. Let cool to room temperature before assembling the lasagna. (Makes 1 quart.)
• To assemble: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Squeeze the spinach in your hands to remove as much liquid as possible. Put it in a large bowl, and stir in the ricotta, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, the egg, 1 teaspoon salt and the nutmeg.
• Spread 3/4 cup of the tomato sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Lay 3 lasagna noodles across the sauce (they won't touch). Spread 3/4 cup tomato sauce on top. Dollop 1/3 of the ricotta mixture (about 1 cup) across the sauce, and use the back of a spoon to spread it (it will smush into the tomato sauce, which is fine). Scatter 1 cup of the mozzarella on top.
• Repeat the layering 2 more times. Top with the last 3 noodles, spread the last 3/4 cup tomato sauce over them and scatter the remaining 1 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan over the top. Spray a large piece of foil with cooking spray, and cover the baking dish.
• Bake until the noodles are soft and the cheese has melted, about 40 minutes. Remove the foil, and continue to bake until the cheese is bubbling and the lasagna is slightly browned around the edges, about 15 minutes more. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

EASY VEGETARIAN LASAGNA

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and soften, about 5 minutes. Add the kale and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper and set aside.
• 2. Combine the lasagna noodle pieces with 1 cup water in a large bowl and stir with a rubber spatula. Add the heavy cream and stir until the pieces are evenly coated. Stir in the ricotta cheese, Parmesan, nutmeg, red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the kale mixture and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and top with the shredded mozzarella
• 3. Cover the dish with nonstick foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and cook until the lasagna is bubbly and slightly browned on top, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes and serve.

VEGETARIAN LASAGNA OAMC (MAKES 3 MEALS)

Steps:

• Set the Lasagna noodles to boil in a large pot.
• Put the Greek yogurt, bell peppers, and spinach in a blender and blend until it fairly smooth.
• In a bowl mix the Parmesan, Greek Yogurt mix, mozzarella, and garlic.
• Shred very finely all the zucchini, yellow squash, and carrots. Mushrooms would be a good addition too, but I hate mushrooms so didn't add any in mine.
• Drain the noodles, and put out three 9x13 pans. I use the tin ones so I can freeze them and then put them in the oven.
• Lay down one layer of three lasagna noodles in each pan. Place a layer of Spaghetti sauce over the top. Then a layer of the vegetable, then a layer of the white cheeses. Repeat.
• Put the rest of the spaghetti sauce on the top of the last layer of noodles. Cover with tin foil and lable. Freeze.
• When you are ready to bake, heat the oven up to 375 and bake for 60 to 75 minutes.
