Vegetarian Lasagna／野菜のラザニア

I've been away from home for a few days and now I'm back in my kitchen, so happy to be cooking again! Tokyo has hit its rainy season and been gloomy everyday. On rainy days I personally like to eat some hot comfort food. Here's my creation for today, vegetarian lasagna.

Lasagna is simple ONLY if you are well prepared and organized. Honestly it really doesn't take me long to make it! Just have good preparation :)

(Serves 2-3 people)

9-10 lasagna sheets

1/4 Broccoli diced

6 medium sized asparagus peeled thin

1/2 Zucchini thinly sliced 

Basil leafs

Shredded mozzarella cheese

125g of Ricotta cheese

1 clove of garlic finely chopped

Any kind of nuts (I used almonds) about 8

1/4 cup of water or milk

Olive oil

Salt and Pepper

緑野菜のラザニア

(２〜３人分）

ラザニアシート９〜１０枚

ボロッコリー１／４　細かく切る

アスパラガス６本　薄切り

ズッキーニ１／２　薄切り

バジル

モッツァレラチーズ

リコッタチーズ１２５g

にんにく１　細かく刻む

水が牛乳１／４カップ

ナッツ

オリーブオイル

塩こしょう

Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius. Also boil water and boil the lasagna sheets until al dente. 

オーブンを２００度にしておく。ラザニアシートも程よく固めに茹でて置いておく。

Heat olive oil in a pan and add zucchinis. Cook until they have softened a little bit, salt and pepper.

Set aside.

オリーブオイルをひいたフライパンに薄切りにしたズッキーニをいれ少し柔らかくなるまで炒める。塩こしょうをしっかりしておく。

After zucchinis are taken out, use the same pan and cook rest of the vegetables. Do not cook for long, only until the vegetables get a brighter green color. Salt and pepper and set aside.

ズッキーニを取り出し同じフライパンで

細かく切ったブロッコリー、にんにくと薄切りにしたアスパラガスを炒める。

塩こしょうをしっかりしておく。

Now start making ricotta sauce. Put a pan on a low heat put ricotta cheese with either water or milk and whisk all together. Put generous amount of salt and pepper because ricotta can use a quite good amount of salt. Whisk until creamy texture.

フライパンを弱火につけリコッタチーズと水か牛乳を入れて泡立て器で混ぜる。

塩こしょうをしっかりしておきクリームっぽくなるまで火を通す。

In a blender, put basil, olive oil, nuts, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.

Here we are now ready to build a lasagna!

Start building your lasagna however you like, with ricotta sauce, vegetables, pesto sauce and cheese if you like.

Keep repeating until you are finished will all.

野菜、チーズ、バジルソース、リコッタチーズなどを好きな順にラザニアをのせていく。

Put shredded mozzarella cheese on top at last and bake it in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes.

最後にモッツァレラチーズを上にのせ２００度に暖めたオーブンで

１５分〜２０分ほど焼く。

 Cut & Eat up!

A key to making a good vegetable lasagna is that you need to season your vegetables and sauces very well or else you'll end up with a bland taste. Hope you enjoyed! :)
