Tips & Techniques

  • High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):

    Thaw frozen broccoli before use.

  • Ricotta is fresh cheese with small soft curds. Its name is Italian for "recooked"; ricotta is made by reheating the whey drained from mozzarella or provolone cheese. Ricotta's mild flavor and loose texture combine well with both sweet and savory ingredients.

  • The 6-chese Italian blend contains mozzarella, smoked provolone, Parmesan, Romano, Fontina and Asiago. Use another combination of Italian cheeses from your refrigerator in place of the 6-cheese Italian blend. Try Asiago, mozzarella, Parmesan and provolone; shred the cheeses and measure 2 cups.

Ingredients

  • 8  uncooked lasagna noodles
  • 1  tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 1  garlic clove, minced
  • 3  cups Green Giant® Frozen Broccoli Cuts
  • 1 1/2  cups (about 4 oz.) sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1  medium red, yellow or orange bell pepper, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1  egg
  • 1  (15-oz.) container ricotta cheese
  • 1  teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1  (26 to 28-oz.) jar chunky vegetable tomato pasta sauce
  • 8  oz. (2 cups) shredded 6-cheese Italian cheese blend

Directions

  1. 1Cook lasagna noodles as directed on package. Drain; place in cold water to cool.
  2. 2Meanwhile, heat oven to 350°F. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add garlic, broccoli, mushrooms and bell pepper; cook 3 to 4 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. If necessary, cut broccoli into smaller pieces.
  3. 3Beat egg in small bowl with wire whisk. Add ricotta cheese and Italian seasoning; mix well.
  4. 4Drain cooled lasagna noodles. Spread 1/2 cup of the pasta sauce in ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish. Top with 4 noodles, overlapping as necessary, half of ricotta mixture, half of cooked vegetables, half of remaining pasta sauce (about 2 1/4 cups) and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Repeat layers, starting with noodles.
  5. 5Bake at 350°F. for 45 to 50 minutes or until hot and bubbly. If cheese is getting too brown, cover baking dish loosely with foil. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
