Description

A cozy yet impressive dish combining herbed lasagna and a refreshing salad with pesto vinaigrette.


Ingredients

  • Lasagna noodles (regular or no-boil)
  • Cheese: mozzarella, ricotta, and parmesan
  • Tomato sauce (jarred or homemade)
  • Mixed herbs: basil, parsley, oregano
  • Spinach or kale
  • Olive oil
  • Mixed salad greens
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Red onion (optional)
  • Pesto (store-bought or homemade)
  • Vinegar (balsamic)
  • Lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Boil the noodles (unless using no-boil).
  2. Mix ricotta with herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir in chopped spinach.
  3. Layer sauce, noodles, herby ricotta, and cheese until the dish is full.
  4. Top with extra mozzarella and more herbs if desired.
  5. Bake at 375°F for 30-40 minutes, until bubbly and slightly browned.
  6. Let it sit for 10 minutes before slicing.
