The Heart of Italian Cooking: Fresh Vegetable Sauce for Lasagna

Every Italian dish is all about the sauce, and this lasagna recipe is no exception.

The Fresh Vegetable Sauce

Begin by preparing the sauce. Chop fresh tomatoes and bell peppers, and grate the zucchini. Sauté the vegetables in olive oil with garlic, herbs, and spices, then add the tomatoes and broth for a rich, flavorful base.

Preparing the Perfect Cheese Filling and Al Dente Noodles

Cook the noodles until al dente. While the gluten-free noodles are cooking, prepare the cheese filling by mixing ricotta with a good melting cheese of your choice.

Incorporate chopped fresh spinach, a hint of fresh garlic, nutmeg, and fresh basil into the cheese mixture. This savory cheese filling is ideal for creating delicious lasagna roll-ups.

Assembling the Lasagna Roll-Ups

Spoon the cheese mixture along the length of each noodle. Roll them into a coil and place each seam-side down in the sauce. The noodles roll up effortlessly and hold their shape well. Spoon additional sauce over the top and sprinkle with extra cheese for a delicious finish.

Herbs like oregano, basil, and bay leaf, along with a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of spice, make the dish exceptionally delicious.
