So Monday night dinner, why not lasagna? Makes total sense right? Actually, it does when it's incredibly delicious. I love lasagna, always have, and it doesn't even have to be meat based. My mom makes a fantastic red pepper based version. Who'd'thunk it.
The first step was to make the cheesy filling for the lasagna. Which includes ricotta (Hi Sam!), egg, grueyere, parmesan and pepper. Each of the ingredients got mixed together and set to the side.
Next up was the bechamel sauce. Butter, shallots, garlic, salt, chicken broth, milk, cayenne pepper, basil and flour.
Well I obviously missed some pictures on the way. Anyway, the bechamel came together with the shallots and garlic sauteeing in the butter, then the flour and other seasonings went in to form a roux. Then the broth and milk went in until slightly thickened.
From there I spooned a bit of the bechamel on the bottom of the pan and then layered it with no-boil lasagna noodles and alternated with the cheese all the way up until it looked like this and way ready to go into the oven.
All of the ingredients for the salad. Arugula, shallots, dijon, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. The ingredients outside of the arugula were combined to form the dressing which was tossed with the argula.
And here is the final plate. Absolutely freaking delicious.
