    Recipe



    Heat oven to 375ºF (185ºC). Lay out enough dry lasagna strips in a 9x13" pan to ensure you have enough to make 3 full layers, with very little overlap on each layer. Remove dry strips and cook according to pkg. directions until barely al dente and drain. Alfredo Sauce: Heat water to a boil in bottom of a double boiler. Add butter, cream and pepper to top pot and heat until butter is completely melted; then stir in Parmesan until melted and blended. Remove top pot and set aside to cool. Divide sauce into 2 equal portions. Refrigerate 1 portion for use later. Ricotta Cheese Mix: Combine all ingredients and 1-1/4 cups Alfredo Sauce in a bowl and blend thoroughly with a rubber spatula. Set aside at room temperature. Vegetables: Combine all vegetables and mix well. Assembly: Coat bottom and sides of a 9x13" baking dish with vegetable spray. Lay out cooked lasagna strips, about 4, to cover entire bottom. Spread 1-1/4 cups of Ricotta; mix evenly over strips. Top with 8 cups of vegetable mix and spread out evenly. Lay out 9 of mozzarella slices to cover vegetable layer. Repeat this layering. Top second layer of mozzarella slices with lasagna strips and spread them evenly with 1-1/4 cups ricotta cheese mix to finish. Cooking: Spray a sheet of foil with vegetable spray and cover baking dish tightly with foil, sprayed side down. Bake in a preheated oven about an hour or until internal temperature is 165ºF. Remove from oven and allow to sit a few minutes, covered, before cutting and serving. Immediately prior to serving, heat reserved portion of Alfredo Sauce and ladle hot sauce over each slice of lasagna as it is served. Makes 4 servings.
