Okay so....I have to say I am very excited to blog about this recipe. Here is why- I really made it on my own using what I had in the house and it turned out amazing. I came up with it one night when I was starving and wanted to make some kind of lasagna using what I had...now it is one of the weekly meals Matt and I have. I am thrilled that it's not something I found on Pinterest although I am sure there is a very similar version out there somewhere. Here is what you need:
Lasagna noodles (9 of them for 3 layers of 3)
32 oz tomato sauce
2 eggs
2 heaping (and I mean HEAPING) spoons of non-flavored greek yogurt
1 cup of Mozzarella
1 cup of cheddar
1/4 cup Parmesan
1 cup of mushrooms
2 zucchinis
1 squash
1/2 eggplant
red pepper (5 sprinkles)
salt (2 sprinkles)
Italian seasoning (2 sprinkles)
garlic powder (2 sprinkles)
Here is the thing...you can really add whatever you want as long as you get the idea of proportion to liquid/solids. For example, the other night I only used mushrooms, zucchini, and squash and did away with the eggplant...I'm getting sick and tired of eggplant for some reason so this week it's on my shit list. Anyways, if you don't like mushrooms use bell pepper or just squash and zucchini- it will all be good. Also, last time I didn't have cheddar so I did 2 cups of mozzarella. So knock yourself out and make it your own but you get the general idea of the recipe.
In a large skillet you are going to put all the double sliced in half veggies with some oil and start heatin' up.
Then in a pot put the tomato sauce in it and start heatin' that up. In the tomato sauce you will add in all the sprinkles of stuff- red pepper- salt- garlic powder- Italian seasoning...make this your own too just by tasting it as you go. I had a previous sauce I had made that I froze so mine already had some mushrooms and bell peppers in it....throw whatever the hell you want in that sauce.
In another large pot you are going to want to boil water and add the 9 lasagna noodles.
Once the veggies get soft and the sauce is bubblin' go ahead and add the sauce to the skillet with the veggies- mix it all together and let it simmer for about 10 minutes while the noodles cook up.
Now hop over to a mixing bowl and do the eggs, yogurt, and cheeses.
Okay now you are going to heat your oven to 450 and grab an 8 inch casserole dish. Drain the cooked noodles and once they cool off a bit you can grab them out and layer 3 at the bottom of the casserole dish. After you do that first layer you are gonna do a layer of the veggie/sauce mix. After the veggie/sauce mix go ahead and plop the yogurt mix and smear it all around. Do this 3 times.
Go ahead and put it in the oven and let it bubble...usually about 30 min..
You guys- trust me on this one. It's a little more work than I prefer but I am telling you...it's really really good. Matt LOVES it. Also, once you make it you have leftovers for at least 2 other meals so you can't really beat that. Trust me on this one.
