Today I got a bit creative, as I had run out of things to do with zucchini. Iâm calling it âzucchini lasagne casseroleâ
I was gonna make lasagne, but we had run out of lasagne noodles. But we had a bunch of linguini so I cooked that instead.
I browned some Italian sausage with half an onion. Then I added 1 garlic, sautéd a bit, then added some Cucina Fresca Marinara (because that is what we had).
I added the pasta to the meat/sauce mixture.
Then I made a bechamel, using milk that is steeped with some sage and rosemary from the yard. And some garlic because delicious.
Next I sliced up a med-large zucchini using my mandoline+kitchen chain-mail glove (all of my fingers are intact!)
Then I made layers in a 9x13 backing dish: 1. Bechamel 2. Grated Parmesan 3. Zucchini 4. Ricotta 5. Linguini/sausage 6. Zucchini 7. Bechamel 8. Parm 9. Linguini/sausage 10. Bechamel 11. parm 12. Zucchini 13. Ricotta 14. Parm.
Has to cool down a bit before it is ready to eat... #ButImHungry
I would have preferred to use mozzarella and ricotta, but I forgot to put any on the grocery order
Ok, folks! Iâm pretty happy with it! Could use a bit more garlic, but very tasty! Will eat leftovers and make again!
