Creamy Veggie Broken Lasagna Pasta

Creamy Veggie Broken Lasagna Pasta

I wasn’t originally planning on posting this recipe for a couple reasons:

A.It was so hot and horrible outside when I took these photos that I only snapped a few quick, less than stellar shots.

B.The dish didn’t turn out exactly as I’d planned, because I was umm lazy and didn’t feel like layering sheet after sheet of lasagna noodles, vegetables and sauce…

Now you may ask why I’m posting this given the information I provided. And the answer is simple.

It was good…and if I’m being entirely honest, I’m also having major technical difficulties that are making it impossible to upload my most recent creations.

Technical difficulties in the form of a doggie who shall not be named that chewed right through the wiring on my USB cord. Difficulties in the form of a technologically adverse person that didn’t correctly eject her memory card from her computer – she shall also not be named.

Hmm, I guess those two little hiccups aren’t really technical difficulties, more like human and doggie stupidity.

Getting back to the aforementioned laziness in lasagna preparation…

I had grand plans for this “lasagna” to be an actual lasagna with lots of layers of bright green summer veggies, layered in between thin sheets of pasta, creamy béchamel sauce and stringy mozzarella cheese. It would come out looking cheesy, green and completely picture worthy. But heat took over me and I didn’t feel like turning the oven on and just wanted to throw everything into a big ole’ pot for a quick dinner.

So that’s what I did.

Lasagna sheets were broken, boiled and drained.

Béchamel was whisked up in the same pot as the noodles.

Sautéed veggies were thrown into the sauce.

Loads of parmesan and mozzarella cheese were tossed with the noodles.

Everything was stirred together.

Dinner was done.

End of story.

  • 10 lasagna sheets, broken into pieces
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 large zucchini, sliced into half moons
  • 4 ounces baby spinach, stems removed

    Hi, that is a great dish, I have noticed you used olive oil, do you think it would work with truffle oil, I have bought some from here http://www.trufflehunter.co.uk/truffles/buy-truffles.php?c=Truffle-Oil
