Description

You know the last of your basil needs a home! Let this be it.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Loosely Packed Fresh Basil Leaves
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • ¼ cups Heavy Cream
  • ¼ cups Half-and-half
  • 1 cup Chicken Or Vegetable Stock
  • ¼ cups Pine Nuts, Plus Extra For Topping
  • ½ cups Grated Parmesan Cheese, Divided
  • 8 ounces, weight Mozzarella Cheese, Grated
  • No-boil Lasagna Noodles (enough For 1 Pan Of Lasagna)
  • 6 whole Small Yellow Squash, Thinly Sliced Into Planks

Preparation

In a food processor, combine basil, garlic, cream, half-and-half, stock, pine nuts, and half the parmesan until very smooth. The mixture will be thin; add more half-and-half if needed to thin it out to make 2-3 cups of sauce. Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper to your preference; set aside. The mixture should taste sightly salty as it will be flavoring the noodles and squash in the lasagna.

Layer the lasagna in the following order: lay a thin layer of the pesto sauce in the bottom of a large baking dish. Top with an even layer of noodles, then an even layer of squash planks, layered like the noodles. Sprinkle with a handful of the cheese, then pour over a bit more sauce, 1/2 cup or so.

Repeat 3 or 4 times until all the ingredients are used, ending with noodles, cheese, sauce, and the rest of the parmesan. Sprinkle the top of the lasagna with a few extra pine nuts.

Bake as the noodle box instructs, then let the lasagna rest for 15 minutes. Slice gently into squares and serve!
