Method

  • Saute the zucchini, eggplant, onion, mushrooms, and bell pepper individually in olive oil, seasoning each lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Drain off any excess oil with paper towels.
  • Bring the milk to a boil in a pan, and keep it warm.
  • Melt the butter in another pan.
  • Add the flour to the butter, and add the warm milk little by little, mixing well each time.
  • Add the salt and pepper and nutmet to finish, and turn off the heat.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the lasagna sheets one by one, and cook for 6 minutes.
  • Drain off the water on kitchen towels or paper towels.
  • Oil an ovenproof dish and put 3 sheets of lasagna noodles on the bottom.
  • Top with the zucchini, eggplant, onion, mushrooms and bell pepper.
  • Add half each of the bechamel sauce, Parmesan, mascarpone and canned tomatoes.
  • Repeat once more.
  • Bake the lasagne in a 200 C oven for 30 minutes.
  • When the lasagna is baked, turn the oven off, open the door a little and leave for 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with parsley to taste.
  • Add some salt and pepper on top for even more flavor.
  • Mix up the homemade mascarponevery well, and drain overnight in a sieve lined with paper towels.
  • It will become about 200 g, so the entire amount is used.
  • Note: Apparently it's hard to get mascarpone in Japan, so I added a recipe to make it at home.
  • Saute the mushrooms and the 2 finely chopped garlic cloves together for added fragrance and taste.
  • I used homemade mascarpone for this.
  • I added salt to it and it came out very nicely.
  • Try making it with handmade lasagna sheets!
  • I got these from my friend John.
