Asparagus is one of my favorite Spring Veggies. This is a light, and delicious recipe I originally found on and really like. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 tablespoon minced garlic |
1 cup finely chopped onion |
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaf |
4 medium tomatoes, peeled and roughly chopped, plus 2 thinly sliced |
1/2 cup water |
2 lbs asparagus, trimmed and blanched |
12 ounces spaghetti, precooked and drained |
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese |
1/2 cup ricotta cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a lasagne dish.
2. In a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil until hot. Add the garlic and onions and sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the basil, chopped tomatoes, and water and bring to a boil. Add salt and pepper to taste, remove from the heat, and set aside.
4. Arrange half of the asparagus in an even layer over the bottom of the prepared lasagne dish. Top with a layer of half of the sliced tomatoes, then a layer of half of the spaghetti and a layer of half the garlic/onion/tomato sauce. Evenly sprinkle half of the mozzarella over the tomato sauce and dot with half of the ricotta. Repeat layering, using all of the remaining ingredients.
5. Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes, or until the top of the lasagne is golden brown.
