"Dutch Pavillion" Zucchini and Mushroom Lasagna

When I was studying in Bonn, I went back to Hannover where I had lived a few years earlier, to attend the World's Fair 2000, where many different countries build pavilions to represent their country. This amazing pavillion by MVRDV was one of my favorites, so it came to mind when I thought of the layers in this lasagna.


Ingredients,
  • lasagna (I use the Barilla flat no boil variety)
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon of finely chopped basil
  • 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 cans of diced tomatoes
  • 3 cloves of minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon of oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • mushrooms cut into slices
  • zuchinni cut into slices
How to make it,

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 
  2. Mix together ricotta, eggs, milk, cheese, basil, and a bit of salt and pepper in a bowl.
  3. In another bowl mix the tomatoes, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper (you can also just use pasta sauce from your grocery store.
  4. In a glass dish spread a bit of the tomato mixture in the dish.
  5. Cover that with a layer of lasagna, then a layer of the cheese mixture, then a layer of mushrooms.
  6. Repeat layering with one layer of zucchini as well. 
  7. When you get to the top put a few zucchini slices coverd in a bit of the cheese mixture.
  8. Sprinkle a bit of Parmesan on and bake for 50-60 minutes.
