LASAGNA WITH SPINACH AND ROASTED ZUCCHINI
You may think of lasagna as a rich, heavy dish, but it needn't be. There's no need to compensate for the absence of a traditional Bolognese sauce by packing these casseroles with pounds of ricotta and grated cheese. Some of each of those elements is welcome, but I cut the usual amounts by half in this recipe, and it was plenty satisfying. You can get ahead on lasagna by making up big batches of marinara sauce and freezing it, or in a pinch use a good commercial brand. The noodles are no-boil, which really makes these lasagnas easy to assemble. They can be made ahead and reheated, or frozen.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Toss the zucchini with the olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and top with the slices of zucchini. Place in the oven and roast 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, close the oven door and, using tongs, flip the zucchini slices over. Return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender when pierced with a knife and browned in spots. Remove from the oven and reduce the heat to 350 degrees.
- Steam the spinach for 2 to 3 minutes above an inch of boiling water, just until it wilts. Rinse briefly with cold water, squeeze out excess water and chop coarsely.
- Blend the ricotta cheese with the egg, water, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Lightly oil a rectangular baking pan. Spread a small spoonful of tomato sauce to cover the bottom of the pan. Top with a layer of lasagna noodles. Top the noodles with a thin layer of ricotta, then a layer of zucchini and spinach, a layer of tomato sauce and a layer of Parmesan. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of lasagna noodles topped with tomato sauce and Parmesan.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and place in the oven. Bake 40 minutes, until the noodles are tender and the mixture is bubbling. Uncover and, if you wish, bake another 10 minutes, until the top begins to brown. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

POLENTA LASAGNA WITH SPINACH AND HERBY RICOTTA
With a dense, creamy texture and sweet corn flavor, this hearty and unexpected variation on the usual lasagna uses layers of Parmesan-topped baked polenta in place of pasta. This meatless recipe is speckled green with baby spinach and lots of parsley and basil. Be sure to get a good brand of marinara sauce, preferably a chunky one with bits of tomato, for the richest flavor and texture. Or even better, if you have homemade marinara sauce tucked away in the freezer, use it here instead.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees and butter an 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet pan. Grease a rubber spatula with butter.
- Prepare the polenta: In a large pot, bring 6 cups water and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, then slowly pour in polenta, whisking constantly. Cook, whisking often, until polenta thickens, 8 to 12 minutes. Whisk in 4 tablespoons butter until melted. Whisk in spinach until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in 1 cup grated Parmesan.
- Scrape polenta onto the prepared baking sheet. Using the greased rubber spatula, spread the mixture into a thin, even layer to cover the entire pan, all the way to corners. Sprinkle 1/2 cup grated Parmesan on top. Bake until polenta is firm and cheese has melted, 12 to 18 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack until completely cooled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or place in refrigerator until cool to touch, about 40 to 50 minutes. (Polenta can be baked the day before and refrigerated until needed.)
- When ready to bake the lasagna, heat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the ricotta filling: In a small bowl, mix ricotta, parsley, basil, egg, black pepper, nutmeg and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix until well combined and set aside.
- Taste the marinara sauce. If it needs some zip, stir in any or all of the optional ingredients.
- Assemble the lasagna: Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut cooled polenta in half widthwise, creating 2 pieces roughly 9 by 13 inches each. Using a large spatula, gently place one half in prepared baking dish. (It is important for polenta to be completely cooled and firm; otherwise, the pieces may break when transferring to baking dish. If anything breaks, just reassemble it in the pan. It won't make much of a difference once it's covered in sauce and baked.)
- Spread about half the ricotta mixture in an even layer on top of polenta. Pour about half of marinara sauce on top of ricotta, sprinkle with about half of the shredded mozzarella. Repeat with remaining polenta, ricotta, marinara and mozzarella. Once assembled, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan on top.
- Place baking dish on top of a rimmed sheet pan in case the lasagna bubbles over. Bake until cheese melts, about 30 minutes. If you like, you can broil lasagna for 2 minutes after baking until cheese starts to bubble and develop brown spots.
- Remove from oven and let lasagna stand for about 15 minutes to firm up before serving. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months.
ROAST VEGETABLE LASAGNA
This version of a traditionally heavy dish is made lighter by roasting vegetables in the oven first, and by using Ricotta instead of a thick and time-consuming Bechamel sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 175 C degrees. Start to defrost the Spinach. If using fresh spinach, wilt it for a few seconds in boiling water, then squeeze out all the liquid and set aside.
- Chop the onions, zucchini/courgettes, mushrooms and asparagus (and any other vegetables you may choose to use) and toss in a little olive oil in a roasting dish. Season with salt & pepper. Roast for approx. 15min until slightly softened. Set aside.
- Heat the can of Passata on a low heat and add the garlic, bayleaves, as well as the chopped fresh tomatoes and plenty of herbs. Add the chilli and the paprika powder. Season to taste and simmer.
- --> TIP: The tomato sauce needs to be seasoned very well, otherwise the entire lasagna will end-up tasting rather bland. Then take off the heat & set aside.
- In a bowl, mix the Ricotta cheese with the prepared, cooled spinach and season well with nutmeg, salt & pepper.
- ASSEMBLE!
- Grease a large, square lasagna dish with some olive oil.
- Place some of the pasta sheets at the bottom to create a "base". Spoon on a layer of the tomato sauce (remove bayleaves first). This is the time to add the roast vegetables as well.
- Follow with a layer of pasta sheets. Then spoon on a layer of the spinach-ricotta sauce.
- Continue with alternating layers of tomato sauce with vegetables, pasta sheets, then white sauce, etc.
- Make sure the final top layer ends with the ricotta mixture.
- Then sprinkle the top evenly with the grated cheese.
- Bake on the centre shelf of the oven for 75min (fan-assisted) to 90min (regular oven), or until cheese on top begins to crisp & brown.
- Test whether the pasta sheets are cooked by sticking a stick into the middle. If the cheese is browning before the pasta is cooked, cover the lasagne with some aluminium foil to continue baking.
ROAST VEGETABLE, SPINACH AND RICOTTA LASAGNA (MODIFIED)
The ingredients list for this lasagna may look a little intimidating, but it really is quite easy to make, and so worth the the effort! This is a modified version of the recipe at: http://www.food.com/members/subm/editr2.php?sid=27675044&oc=linkback While that is a good recipe overall, the amount of white sauce is ridiculously small, and I'm not allowed to change it, so I'm submitting a new recipe instead.

Steps:
- Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 425°F.
- Cut 3 (1/3-inch-thick) lengthwise slices from center of eggplant and reserve remainder for another use. Brush 2 large shallow baking pans with 1 tablespoon oil total, then arrange eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers in 1 layer in pans.
