Roasted Red Pepper Lasagna

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 sweet onion

  diced
• 2 large shallots

  diced
• ½ tsp salt
• 640 ml jarred roasted red peppers
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp dried parsley
• salt and pepper

  to taste
• 6 cups mozzarella cheese

  grated
• 500 grams lasagne noodles

  cooked

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• 2 Spray a lasagna pan or casserole dish (9 x 13) with non-stick cooking spray. Set
  aside.
• 3 Shred your cheese.
• 4 Bring a stock pot of water to a boil, salt the water. Once it boils add the
  pasta, and cook for 1 minute less than the package instructs. I cooked mine for
  7 minutes. Drain but do NOT rinse. Time this step properly with the sauce below.
  I suggest tossing the noodles in the water as the sauce thickens at the end.
• 5 While the water is heating up you can start your sauce.
• 6 In a large skillet drizzle the olive oil. Turn the heat to a medium low. Once
  the oil glistens add the onions, shallots and a dash of salt. Cook them for
  about 15 minutes, they should be just starting to brown. Add the roasted red
  peppers, cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• 7 Toss the mixture into a food processor and let it whir until the vegetables
  become combined but still slightly chunky. Remove and pop that mixture back in
  the skillet.
• 8 Turn the skillet on a medium heat, let it start to heat up then add the broth.
  Cook that for about 5 minutes, then add the heavy cream. Stir over medium heat
  until it thickens, this should take about 5 to 10 minutes. Toss in the dried
  parsley. Salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
• 9 Lay two layers of noodles on the bottom. (some people do one but we like ours
  with more noodles and cheese, and less sauce).
• 10 Spread a layer of sauce over top.
• 11 Toss some cheese over top.
• 12 Continue to layer this way until you reach the top of the casserole dish or run
  out of ingredients.
• 13 I always use more cheese on top than inside. About double in fact.
• 14 Pop the lasagna in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, depending how you like
  your cheese. We like ours browned to perfection so I went a full 20 minutes.
• 15 Remove from oven and slice.
• 16 Serve with a big old roasted red pepper loving smile!
