  • Line a baking tray w/ baking parchment.
  • Arrange the vegetables on the baking tray & let them roast for about 30 min.
  • Peel the red peppers; then put all the roasted vegetables aside.

  • Serve at once or let it rest ...
Notes
Prep Time: Includes the roasting of the vegetables.
Cook Time: It’s the cook time for the lasagna. If you prefer the mozzarella soft & chewy go for 20-25 min; if you prefer a more crispy mozzarella on top go for 30-40 min.
Tomato pulp: You may also use any homemade tomato pulp/sauce.
Parmesan: You may substitute grated Pecorino for Parmesan (or any mix of both).
Casserole: The casserole is just big enough for 2 lasagne sheets.
When serving at once there will be some liquid on the bottom of the casserole - just dip it w/ bread ... If you let it rest the liquid will get soaked up by the lasagna.
You may store the lasagna in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in oven when you like it crispy (the microwave will soften the lasagna ...).
