A few weeks ago, Anne Marie was brainstorming ideas for a new lasagna recipe she was concocting. Listening to her ideas got me thinking about how diverse lasagna can be. The noodles are a blank canvas waiting to be filled with whatever tastes and ingredients you find yourself craving that day.
Since it's the end of summer and the markets are overflowing with an abundance of tomatoes, I wanted to make a lasagna using some fresh tomatoes while also steering clear of just creating a traditional tomato based sauce. I wanted the tomato to be a complementary flavor, not the primary. Below is my version of Pesto Tomato Lasagna. Making a lasagna is simple yet time consuming so if you're going to attempt it be sure to do a little planning and give yourself adequate amounts of time.
Essentially, there are 4 steps in this lasagna creation process:
1. Roasting the tomatoes
2. Making the Pesto
3. Making the Bechamel Sauce
4. Assembling the Lasagna
