Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes for dried pasta or 2 to 3 minutes for fresh pasta. Drain pasta.
- In a food processor combine the sun-dried tomatoes and basil. Pulse until the mixture is combined. Transfer to a small bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan. Set aside.
- In a large skillet brown the pancetta until crisp. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, onion, and garlic and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Add asparagus and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the ricotta, salt, and pepper and stir to combine.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a 9 by 13-inch baking dish sprinkle some of the sun-dried tomato mixture on the bottom of the casserole dish. Place some lasagna sheets, then half asparagus mixture. Next sprinkle some mozzarella cheese and some of the remaining 3/4 cup Parmesan. Continue for 1 more layer. Top with lasagna sheets, some sun-dried tomato mixture, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Dot the top with butter. Bake until the ingredients are warm and the cheese is melted, about 25 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°; coat a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a big pot of salted, boiling water, cook the lasagna noodles-10 minutes for dried or 2-3 minutes for fresh.
- Remove from water, rinse under cold water, drain, and set aside on paper towels to dry.
- Vegetable filling: melt 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a big skillet over medium-high heat.
- Saute zucchini, asparagus, fennel, onion, carrot, and garlic until tender and just beginning to color, about 15 minutes.
- Add in mushrooms and radicchio; combine and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper; remove from heat and transfer to a platter.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining butter and oil; add in the baby spinach, stirring to heat and wilt, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and transfer to platter.
- Risotto: Melt butter and olive oil in a medium skillet over med-high heat.
- Add in the rice, coating it with butter and oil, stirring constantly to lightly brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add in the wine and incorporate; cook until all the wine has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
- Begin adding chicken stock to pan ½ cup at a time; between additions of stock, cook until it has evaporated, stirring periodically to combine.
- The rice will begin to plump up and become tender.
- Continue this process of adding stock and cooking until all the stock has been used up.
- At this time, the risotto should have almost tripled in volume and be very fluffy and tender with a creamy consistency, if not, continue to add water or stock until a creamy consistency is reached.
- Remove from heat and transfer it to a bowl; add in the parsley, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and goat cheese; stir to combine and melt cheeses.
- Add in salt and pepper to taste; set aside to cool.
- Herbed Cream: melt butter in a medium-size saucepan over med-high heat.
- Add in flour; whisk to combine; whisk continuously, cooking flour to a golden brown color.
- Combine the wine and stock together in a bowl; add the liquid slowly to prevent lumps; be careful of the steam that will rise from the pan at the initial addition of the liquid.
- After the addition of the wine/stock mixture, add the basil, tarragon, chives, fennel tops, and orange zest; stir to combine.
- Decrease heat to medium and continue cooking for about 2 minutes.
- Add in the cream and simmer for 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper; remove from the heat.
- Assemble lasagna: begin with about 1 cup of herbed cream on the bottom of the baking dish; top with three sheets of noodles, then layer with half of the spinach, then half of the vegetable mixture.
- Top the vegetables with 1 cup herbed cream, and add one third of the mozzarella cheese; repeat with three more pasta noodles.
- Add all of the risotto mixture in an even layer (if the risotto appears too dry after cooling, add about ¼ cup heavy cream or milk to it to moisten it).
- Top the risotto with another layer of three noodles.
- Layer with all the remaining spinach, remaining vegetable mixture, about 1 cup herbed cream, and one third of fresh mozzarella.
- Top with the last three noodles, then add the remaining herbed cream, finishing with the remaining mozzarella.
- Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until the top is bubbling and golden brown (you will probably need to pour yourself a drink at this point. to celebrate the conclusion of this labor-intensive dish).
- Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before cutting to serve.

Steps:
- Position oven rack in center of oven; preheat oven to 350°.
- Make the sauce: heat a large pan over medium heat, add in butter and olive oil; when butter has almost melted, add the onion; cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add in garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 15 seconds.
- Pour in the tomatoes and their juice along with the peas and carrots; stir well and bring mixture to a simmer.
- Stir in the thyme, salt, pepper, and nutmeg; simmer just to blend the flavors and boil off a lot of the liquid, about 10 minutes.
- You don't want sauce as thick as ragu-more like a loose tomato sauce but beware of a watery sauce.
- Remove pan from heat and set aside.
- Cheese filling: whisk the ricotta, eggs, and lemon zest in a big bowl; do not beat-the ricotta should not turn watery.
- Prepare asparagus: trim off any beige or woody ends; shave off the outer skin to ensure that the spears will be tender after they are baked.
- If you asparagus is not pencil thin, shave down the spears with a vegetable peeler.
- Assemble the lasagna in a 13 x 9 inch baking pan as follows: 1 cup tomato sauce spread across the bottom of the pan; 3 no-boil noodles; 1 ½ cups tomato sauce; half the cheese filling (use a rubber spatula to spread it evenly); half the asparagus spears (lay them tip to root in alternating directions); 3 more no-boil noodles; 1 ½ cups tomato sauce, the remaining cheese filling, the remaining asparagus spears, the remaining noodles, and finally the remaining tomato sauce.
- Cover pan with a layer of parchment paper, then a layer of foil.
- Bake for 35 minutes, then uncover the pan and continue baking until bubbling and gooey, about 10 minutes.
- Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
