Quick and easy vegetarian lasagna recipe

Ingredients to buy:

• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 medium zucchini thinly sliced
• Kosher salt
• 2 medium summer squash, thinly sliced
• 2 eggplants finely chopped
• 1 box uncooked lasagna noodles
• 3 tablespoons of butter
• 3 tablespoons of flour
• 1 liter of whole milk
• 60 g freshly grated parmesan
• 1 liter of crushed tomatoes
• 340 g fresh mozzarella, cut into large pieces
• A handful of basil leaves

Preparation instructions:

Begin your summer lasagna recipe by heating two tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Then gradually add zucchini. Season with salt and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Drizzle with more olive oil if needed. Transfer the pumpkin to a container to cool well. Repeat with other vegetables until lightly browned. Place the noodles in a pot and cover with hot water. Let them soak for about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the white sauce (bechamel sauce) by heating the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. After the butter melts, add the flour and increase the temperature. Cook, stirring, for a minute. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce boils and thickens. Then remove from heat and add parmesan. Whisk to get a smooth mixture. Salt to taste and set aside.

Salt the crushed tomatoes to taste. Preheat the oven to 190°C and place the rack in the middle. Place the noodles on a clean paper towel to absorb excess water. Brush a pellet dish with olive oil and spread a thin layer of tomatoes. Then arrange some noodles to cover the bottom of the bowl and add some eggplant, zucchini, squash, tomatoes and white sauce. Repeat these layers several times. Finally, top with the last noodles and spread the remaining tomatoes and sauce. Spread the mozzarella evenly and sprinkle with basil leaves. Drizzle lightly with olive oil.

Carefully cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the paper and continue cooking until the top is lightly browned.
