Lasagna strips

Lay out enough dry lasagna strips in a 9x13 pan to
ensure you have enough to
make 3 full layers, with very little overlap on each
layer. Remove the dry

strips and cook according to package instructions
until barely "al dente" and
drain. ALFREDO SAUCE-Heat water to a boil in the
bottom of a double boiler. Add butter, cream and
pepper to the top pot and heat until butter is
completely melted, then stir in Parmesan until melted
and blended. Remove top
pot and set aside to cool. Divide the sauce into 2
equal portions. Refrigerate 1 portion for use later.
RICOTTA CHEESE MIX- Combine all ingredients in a bowl
and blend thoroughly with a rubber spatula. Set asside
at room temp. VEGETABLES-Combine all veggies and mix
well. ASSEMBLY-Coat the bottom and sides of a 9x13
baking dish with vegetable spray. Lay out cooked
lasagna strips (about 4) to cover entire bottom. Spread
1-1/4 c of the Ricotta mix evenly over the strips. Top
with 8 c of veggie mix
and spread out evenly. Lay out 9 of the mozzarella
slices to cover the veggie
layer.
Repeat this layering. Top the second layer of
mozzarella slices with lasagna
strips and spread them evenly with 1-1/4 c ricotta
cheese mix to finish. COOKING-Spray a sheet of foil
with vegetable spray and cover the baking dish
tightly with the foil, sprayed side down. Bake in a
preheated 375~ oven for about an hour or until the
internal temp is 165~. Remove from the oven and allow
to sit for a few minutes, covered, before cutting and
serving. Immediately prior to serving, heat the
reserved portion of Alfredo Sauce and
ladle the hot sauce over each slice of lasagna as it
is served. Source: The Olive Garden.
