Mashed Potato Lasagna With A Vegetable Sauce Recipes

POTATO GRATIN LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°; spray a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Saute the onions in a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil until just soft.
• Stir in the garlic, and cook another minute until just aromatic.
• Add the tomatoes, rosemary, oregano, and basil.
• Continue to cook until all moisture has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
• *Toasting the bread crumbs--in a nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter; add the bread crumbs and combine, stirring to coat evenly while cooking; cook until golden brown and aromatic, about 5 minutes; remove from heat and let cool.
• To assemble--Layer 1/2 of the lasagna noodles in the prepared casserole dish; top with half of the sliced potatoes, and season with salt and pepper.
• Top the potatoes with half of the tomato mixture, and sprinkle with half the cheeses.
• Repeat layering, ending with cheese; sprinkle evenly with toasted bread crumbs.
• Cover the gratin with foil and bake for 30 minutes; remove the foil and bake 15-20 minutes to brown the cheese.
• Let stand 5 minutes to set the cheese before slicing and serving.
• Cut in smaller portions and serve as a side dish with roasted chicken; or cut in larger portions to serve as a main meal.
