Grilled Vegetable Lasagna

I love lasagna and I was inspired to get away from my regular ground beef lasagna when I came across kamut lasagna at Donald's Market at the New West Quay.  On it's own kamut pasta is not my favorite but it's healthy and it's not gluey wheat and it not the star of this dish so it went very well with the nutritious theme.  I choose vegetables I particularly love and grilled them on the BBQ.  In the past I've roasted a bunch of veggie in the oven (carrots, sweet potato, eggplant) and put them in the lasagna.  As it is lasagna can be time consuming so if you can grill or roast it's a bit faster. 

16 pieces of kamut or regular lasagna strips (number depends on how many layers and how big your pan is)

1 jar of spagetti/ tomato sauce

1 tub of ricotta mixed with 1/4 c. milk

1 pk of mozzarella cheese shredded

1 bulb of roasted garlic

1 lg. japanese eggplant (halved and sliced horizontally)-grilled

4 peppers (yellow and red)- blackened, peeled and sliced

2 zucchini (sliced horizontally)-grilled

20 brown button mushrooms skewered- grilled

1 pk frozen spinach

Spread a few tablespoons of tomato sauce on the bottom of the pan with a few tablespoons of water so the lasagna does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Layer your lasagna in whatever way you wish. This is how mine was layered

Lasagna, Sauce, Mushrooms, Zucchini, Ricotta mix, Mozzarella

Lasagna, Sauce, Grilled peppers and roasted garlic, spinach, Ricotto mix, Mozzarella

Lasagna, Sauce, Eggplant, Ricotta mix, Mozzarella

Lasagna, Tomato Sauce (thinned with water/milk) to top the lasagna.

Bake at 400 degrees for 45 mins. Cover with foil and removed during the last 15 mins.

Toss your vegetables to be grilled in a tablespoon of oil so they don't stick to the grill and remain moist.

Place hot peppers in a clear plastic bag to let them steam.  This softens the skin and makes it easier to peel off.  Wash the peppers if the charred remnants are difficult to remove.

Kamut lasagna can be bought at Donald's market for cheap $3 something.
