Healthy Vegetable Lasagna Recipe

August 30, 2019 By Christina Gammon Leave a Comment

I found this recipe on Pinterest.  It’s wonderful.  It’s easy.  Therefore, I couldn’t wait to try it! Pinch of Yum has this amazing vegetable alfredo sauce that MAKES this meal.  Additionally, it makes it HEALTHY. Yes. Healthy. The secret? Cauliflower! Cauliflower alfredo sauce is creamy and delicious. The best part is you don’t know you’re missing the calories!Vegetarian Lasagna made with cauliflower

Vegetable Lasagna Ingredients:

For the cauliflower alfredo sauce
5 large cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoons butter
5 cups cauliflower florets
6-7 cups vegetable broth or water
1 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
½ teaspoon pepper (more to taste)
½ cup milk (more to taste)
Parmesan cheese to taste

For the lasagna
10 lasagna noodles
4 cups cauliflower Alfredo sauce
5 cups veggies (I used chopped fresh greens, grated carrots, fresh and canned tomatoes)
3 cups mixed shredded cheese like Mozzarella, Provolone, Parmesan, etc.
salt and pepper to taste

Vegetable Lasagna Instructions:

For the cauliflower sauce:
Saute the garlic with butter in a large nonstick skillet over low heat until the garlic is soft and fragrant.
Bring the cauliflower in the water or broth for 7-10 minutes or until cauliflower is fork tender.
Do not drain.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cauliflower pieces to a blender or food processor.
Add 1 cup vegetable broth or cooking liquid, sauteed garlic/butter, salt, pepper, and milk.
Blend or puree for several minutes or until very smooth.

For the lasagna:
Preheat oven to 375°.
Boil the lasagna noodles for a few minutes until they are just starting to soften but still stiff and cool enough to handle.
Spread a spoonful of cauliflower sauce on the bottom of a 9-inch square glass baking dish with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Layer lasagna noodles, ½ cup sauce, one-fourth of the veggies, a good sprinkle of salt, ½ cup cheese, and ¼ cup sauce (I put the sauce in each layer twice – once under the veggies and once on top).
Repeat layers 4 times, ending with noodles.
Cover the top noodle layer with ½ cup sauce and the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
Cover with greased foil and bake for 25 minutes.
The liquid should be bubbling along the sides of the dish.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 10-20 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown to your liking.
Cool for a few minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes:
I used a combination of fresh diced tomatoes and canned diced tomatoes. If you do use tomatoes, be sure to drain the excess liquid out before adding them to the lasagna, otherwise, it will be too watery. I also found that sprinkling salt over each of the veggie layers helped it to be more flavorful, especially as leftovers.

Either way, these delicious summer salad recipes will quickly become a favorite in your home.  [Read more…]

Zucchini Frittata

September 7, 2015 By Emily Gammon Leave a Comment

Here’s a speedy way to use up #zucchini and pack some nutrients into a yummy meal.  I made this for breakfast, but it would be delicious for any time of day.  It could be the entire meal or a side dish.  I think it would be fun to cook this over an open fire pit sometime!

A frittata is an Italian dish made with fried beaten, or whipped, eggs and resembles a Spanish omelet.

Zucchini Harvest Gratin Recipe

Do you have zucchini coming out of your ears this summer? If you have a garden and it’s harvest time, then I’m sure the answer is yes! If you are looking for ways to harvest zucchini you will want to go to our harvest zucchini post for tips. Every year my mother gives away tons and tons of zucchini to neighbors and friends. Even though she freezes, bakes, and practically bathes in it, there is always MORE! For some reason, I can’t grow zucchini to save my life but luckily Emily can and we visited last week. Let the zucchini harvest games begin!

Vegetarian Lasagna Recipe

February 6, 2015 By Christina Gammon Leave a Comment

Vegetarian Lasagna RecipeI used to work at a ski resort and they had delicious vegetarian lasagna. Since then I’ve searched for a replacement recipe. While this vegetarian lasagna recipe is a red sauce and that one was a white sauce, I really like this option! My bf isn’t a fan of the white sauce version… and I’m not sure if it’s healthy anyway but this version is! You can use whatever vegetables you would like but the following is what I did. After it was cooked, I added garlic salt to mine. I just prefer a little more zap to my flavors. Everyone else loved it as is. I’m sure you will too! [Read more…]

Easy Fried Green Tomato Recipe

October 7, 2014 By Christina Gammon 4 Comments

IMG_7993[1]Tomatoes don’t speed up their ripening for the cold weather. Yes, you can pick tomatoes and put them in a cardboard box or paper bag to ripen quickly but what about the ones that don’t ripen? I’ve never tried fried green tomatoes but every fall I am reminded of them. One of our Dad’s favorite movies was Fried Green Tomatoes (Widescreen Collector’s Edition). In fact, it seemed every time I went to visit him, he was watching that movie. He said he never tried fried green tomatoes. I wish now I had made them for him. He would have loved them! So this easy Fried Green Tomato recipe, I dedicate to Dad.
