PESTO POLENTA LASAGNA--SUPER EASY!



Pesto Polenta Lasagna--Super Easy! image

This is from allrecipes.com, where at the moment I read it, it had 24 glowing reviews. I can hardly wait to make it. Vegetarians and meat eaters alike loved it; so did those allergic to wheat. Lots of the chefs played around with the recipe, adding mushrooms, or red peppers, leaving out the pine nuts, or changing the cheese. I hope you enjoy it as much as they did!

Easy Pesto Lasagna Roll-Ups image

Dinner dilemma? Don't miss this family-friendly recipe for Easy Pesto Lasagna Roll-Ups made with just six simple ingredients. I've traded the luscious layers of lasagna for their rolled counterparts and added a flavor-packed addition to the creamy ricotta: basil pesto!

It may seem odd to incorporate two classic Italian sauces into one dish, but one forkful of these flavor-packed rolls and you'll be chiming in with your own rendition of "When two become one...." #SpiceGirls #IAmOld #AndNotHip Once the lasagna noodles are filled and rolled, they're arranged side by side in a pool of marinara sauce, then topped with even more sauce and a drizzle of pesto. A final shower of shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan, and you are well on your way to winning dinner.

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Olive oil
Kosher salt
8 uncooked lasagna noodles
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
3/4 cup homemade or store-bought pesto sauce
3 1/2 cups homemade or store-bought marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to the package directions for al dente. Drain and arrange in a layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta cheese with 1/2 cup of the pesto. Divide the ricotta mixture evenly among the noodles, spreading it the length of each noodle. Divide 1 cup of the marinara sauce evenly among the 8 noodles, spreading it on top of the ricotta mixture.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups of the remaining marinara sauce to the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
  • Roll up the lasagna noodles, then arrange them seam-side down in the baking dish. Top them with the remaining 1 cup marinara sauce and 1/4 cup pesto. Cover the baking dish securely with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil, top the roll-ups with the mozzarella cheese and continue baking, uncovered, until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven, top the lasagna roll-ups with the grated Parmesan cheese and serve.

POLENTA LASAGNA LOAF



Polenta Lasagna Loaf image

Twice-cooked polenta stands in for noodles in this lasagna loaf that can be served straight from the pan or inverted onto a platter for a nicer presentation. With four layers of polenta adding a light, fluffy, almost soufflé-like texture and multiple layers of cheesy filling and meat sauce, this is definitely the best polenta recipe I've ever had. Serve it alongside bitter greens if desired.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Lasagna

Time 3h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 cups water
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
1 cup uncooked coarse-ground polenta
1 tablespoon butter
½ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 ½ cups ricotta cheese
⅔ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
4 ounces grated mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups hot prepared meat sauce, or more to taste
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley, or to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare polenta: Bring water and salt to a boil over high heat. Whisk polenta into the boiling water and continue whisking until it starts to thicken, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, until polenta is soft and has lost its grainy texture, 25 to 40 minutes.
  • Remove polenta from the stove and quickly whisk in butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
  • Transfer polenta to a silicone baking liner (or oiled foil or parchment paper). Spread it out evenly almost to the edges into an 8x13-inch rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap and smooth out the top with your hands. Place a baking sheet on top and press slightly to further flatten.
  • Slide the silicone liner and polenta onto the baking sheet and place in the refrigerator until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Remove polenta from the refrigerator and cut, from one long edge to the other, into 8-inch long strips.
  • Prepare filling: Stir ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano, mozzarella, salt, pepper, cayenne, egg, and parsley in a bowl until well combined.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan with 1 tablespoon oil.
  • Place one strip of polenta into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Spread 1/3 of the filling on top as evenly as you can. Top with about 1 cup hot meat sauce. Repeat polenta-filling-sauce layers twice more. Place the last piece of polenta on top, then gently shake and tap the pan to settle the contents. Place the loaf pan on top of a sheet pan to catch any spills while baking. Loosely wrap the top of the loaf pan with foil, making sure it's not touching the polenta.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 1 hour.
  • Remove from the oven, discard foil, and let rest for at least 15 minutes.
  • Divide onto 6 plates. Garnish with parsley and serve with additional sauce.

SPINACH LASAGNA WITH WALNUT PESTO



Spinach Lasagna with Walnut Pesto image

A simple lasagna recipe that pairs the rich taste of spinach with a delicious walnut pesto.

Provided by California Walnuts

Categories     Vegetarian Lasagna

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 teaspoon A little olive oil for the pan
2 pounds fresh spinach, washed*
2 pounds nonfat ricotta cheese or nonfat cottage cheese
Walnut Pesto (recipe follows)
4 large cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
1 pinch Freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
⅓ cup minced walnuts, lightly toasted
1 (24 ounce) jar low-sugar tomato sauce (or your favorite sauce)
16 noodles fresh, uncooked green (spinach) lasagna noodles or, if using dried, no-boil noodles
½ pound low-fat mozzarella cheese, grated
3 cups packed fresh basil leaves
3 large cloves garlic
⅓ cup lightly toasted walnuts
⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 pinch Salt and pepper to taste
Additional extra-virgin olive oil (for storage)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. If using fresh spinach, chop it fine. If using frozen, chopped spinach, make sure it is thoroughly defrosted and squeeze out all of the excess water.
  • Place the ricotta or cottage cheese in a large bowl. Stir in the spinach, pesto, garlic, salt, pepper, half the Parmesan, and the walnuts. Mix well. Spread half the tomato sauce in the bottom of the pan. Place a layer of uncooked noodles over the sauce. Spoon about 1/3 of the ricotta or cottage filling in dabs over the noodles (you can spread it a little, but not too much) and sprinkle with 1/3 of the grated mozzarella. Follow with another layer of sauce, then noodles, followed by another 1/3 of the filling, and another 1/3 of the mozzarella. Repeat one more time, and then finish up with a final layer of noodles. You will have some Parmesan left over.
  • If you are using fresh noodles, bake uncovered. If you are using dried noodles, cover the pan tightly with foil.
  • Bake for 50 minutes, uncovering the pan (if applicable) during the last 15 minutes, during which time you can sprinkle on the reserved Parmesan. (In the case of the uncovered pan, if the top of the lasagna becomes as brown as you like it before the full baking time is up, cover loosely with foil and continue baking, so it wont get too dark.) Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
  • Walnut Pesto: Place the basil leaves and garlic in a food processor or blender, and mix well.
  • Add the walnuts, and continue to blend until the walnuts are finely ground.
  • Keep the machine running as you drizzle in the olive oil. When you have a smooth paste, transfer to a bowl, and stir in the Parmesan. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • If you are not going to use the pesto right away, place in a container that has a tight-fitting lid. Smooth out the top surface of the pesto, and pour on enough olive oil to cover it completely. This creates an air-proof seal that helps preserve it well. Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator.

POLENTA LASAGNA WITH SPINACH AND HERBY RICOTTA



Polenta Lasagna With Spinach and Herby Ricotta image

With a dense, creamy texture and sweet corn flavor, this hearty and unexpected variation on the usual lasagna uses layers of Parmesan-topped baked polenta in place of pasta. This meatless recipe is speckled green with baby spinach and lots of parsley and basil. Be sure to get a good brand of marinara sauce, preferably a chunky one with bits of tomato, for the richest flavor and texture. Or even better, if you have homemade marinara sauce tucked away in the freezer, use it here instead.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, casseroles, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups polenta (not instant)
5 ounces baby spinach (about 5 cups)
2 cups grated Parmesan
1 pound whole-milk ricotta (about 1 2/3 cups), preferably fresh
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil (or use more parsley)
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon grated fresh nutmeg
1 (25-ounce) jar good-quality marinara sauce (3 cups)
Large pinch of red-pepper flakes, 1 pinch of dried oregano, 1 grated garlic clove or a drizzle of good extra-virgin olive oil, or a combination (optional)
1 pound shredded mozzarella (about 4 cups)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees and butter an 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet pan. Grease a rubber spatula with butter.
  • Prepare the polenta: In a large pot, bring 6 cups water and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, then slowly pour in polenta, whisking constantly. Cook, whisking often, until polenta thickens, 8 to 12 minutes. Whisk in 4 tablespoons butter until melted. Whisk in spinach until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in 1 cup grated Parmesan.
  • Scrape polenta onto the prepared baking sheet. Using the greased rubber spatula, spread the mixture into a thin, even layer to cover the entire pan, all the way to corners. Sprinkle 1/2 cup grated Parmesan on top. Bake until polenta is firm and cheese has melted, 12 to 18 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack until completely cooled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or place in refrigerator until cool to touch, about 40 to 50 minutes. (Polenta can be baked the day before and refrigerated until needed.)
  • When ready to bake the lasagna, heat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Prepare the ricotta filling: In a small bowl, mix ricotta, parsley, basil, egg, black pepper, nutmeg and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix until well combined and set aside.
  • Taste the marinara sauce. If it needs some zip, stir in any or all of the optional ingredients.
  • Assemble the lasagna: Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut cooled polenta in half widthwise, creating 2 pieces roughly 9 by 13 inches each. Using a large spatula, gently place one half in prepared baking dish. (It is important for polenta to be completely cooled and firm; otherwise, the pieces may break when transferring to baking dish. If anything breaks, just reassemble it in the pan. It won't make much of a difference once it's covered in sauce and baked.)
  • Spread about half the ricotta mixture in an even layer on top of polenta. Pour about half of marinara sauce on top of ricotta, sprinkle with about half of the shredded mozzarella. Repeat with remaining polenta, ricotta, marinara and mozzarella. Once assembled, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan on top.
  • Place baking dish on top of a rimmed sheet pan in case the lasagna bubbles over. Bake until cheese melts, about 30 minutes. If you like, you can broil lasagna for 2 minutes after baking until cheese starts to bubble and develop brown spots.
  • Remove from oven and let lasagna stand for about 15 minutes to firm up before serving. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months.
