This is a small lasagne and its Easy!- less than 30 minutes to make but needs about 25 minutes to bake. Its a nice change from our regular lasagne. EB doesn't like asparagus but Bri had seconds!
There are three layers-
#1Use a prepared pesto with tomatoes.
OR use the Costco pesto and add some tomatoes and pureé.
OR make a quick one by processing or using your immersion blender to pureé:
1 1/2 c basil leaves
2 c sundried tomatoes or 1 c fresh tomatoes
When pureed, add:
1/2 - 1 c shredded Parmesan
Set aside.
#2 Asparagus layer
Sauté until golden:
1/4 lb ham, chopped
Remove from pan and sauté:
1/2 onion, chopped
salt and pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
After a few minutes, when soft, add:
a small fist size bunch of asparagus, chopped into 1" pieces, with tough ends removed
Sauté a few minutes until bright green and they are beginning to soften.
Now add:
1 -2 c Mozzarella, shredded
Stir and when melted, remove from heat and add:
12-15 oz cottage cheese
#3 Shredded Mozzarella and Parmesan for layers and top
6 no boil lasagne sheets.
In square 8x8 baking dish, start your layers:
1/4 of Pesto - 2 lasagne sheets - 1/4 of pesto - 1/2 of the asparagus filling - Parmesan - 2 lasagne sheets - 1/4 of pesto - rest of the filling - Parmesan - 2 lasagne sheets - rest of pesto - Parmesan & Mozzarella.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Let rest before serving.
This is my variation on Giada's lasagne. She uses way too much salt, cheese and butter!
