Polenta Lasagna

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375F
2
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Add half the spinach and 1/2 the salt. Cook for about 3 minutes, until it is wilted. Add the rest of the spinach and cook an additional 3 minutes, until it is wilted. Transfer the spinach to a colander and drain out as much liquid as possible.
3
Add the zucchini to the saute pan and cook for 3 minutes. Add the zucchini to the colander and drain out as much liquid as possible.
4
In a small bowl, stir together the ricotta, egg yolks, nutmeg and the remaining salt.
5
In a 9×13 inch deep baking dish, layer 1 cup marinara, 1/2 the polenta slices, 1/2 the spinach/zucchini mixture, 1/2 the peppers, 1/2 the marinara sauce, 1/2 the ricotta, 1/2 the mozzarella, and 1/2 the parmesan. Repeat layering to use the remaining ingredients.
6
Cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, and bake, uncovered, an additional 15-20 minutes, until heated through and the cheese is bubbly.
7
Remove from the oven and cool 10 minutes before serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Prep Polenta Sheets Properly 📋
    Spread cooled polenta on parchment paper to a consistent ¼-inch thickness before cutting into lasagna sheets; this ensures even cooking and prevents breaking during assembly.
  • Salt Your Vegetables First 🧂
    Lightly salt zucchini slices 15 minutes before cooking to draw out excess moisture, preventing a watery lasagna and concentrating their natural flavors.
  • Infuse Oil with Garlic 🧄
    Gently warm minced garlic in extra virgin olive oil for 2-3 minutes before layering to create a fragrant base that permeates every layer without overpowering the delicate vegetables.
  • Balance Your Cheese Layers ⚖️
    Mix ricotta with egg yolks, nutmeg, and salt before layering to create a creamy, custard-like filling that holds together better than ricotta alone, while the mozzarella on top achieves perfect golden browning.
  • Rest Before Serving 🕐
    Let the finished lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes after baking before cutting; this allows the layers to set properly and makes plating clean, elegant portions.
