Method

Step 1

Here are the five easy steps to cook a delicious Open Pesto lasagna:

Step 2

PESTO PREPARATION: Blend the walnuts and garlic in a blender. Add the basil leaves (washed and dried), and EVO without turning off the blender. Adjust the density by adding more oil if necessary and at the end the nutritional yeast and salt to taste.

  • Walnuts
  • garlic
  • basil leaves
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • nutritional yeast
  • salt

Step 3

Peel and cut the potatoes into cubes, clean the green beans, and cut them into pieces also. Boil the potatoes and green beans in boiling water to al dente and drain.

  • Potatoes
  • green beans

Step 4

BECHAMEL PREPARATION: Meanwhile, prepare the béchamel. Melt the margarine in a heavy-bottomed pan, add the gluten-free corn flour and whisk them together for 3-4 minutes over low heat, until smooth. Heat the vegetable milk in a separate pan, then pour it into the roux in a slow stream. Adjust the salt, season with nutmeg, and continue cooking, whisking constantly to avoid the formation of lumps, until the sauce is thick and creamy. If the béchamel is too thick, add a bit of milk. If it is too thin, let it cook for a few additional minutes.

  • vegetable milk
  • salt
  • nutmeg

Step 5

ASSEMBLAGE: To make the lasagna, place a bit of béchamel, pesto, green beans, and potatoes on the bottom of a baking dish and cover it with the pasta sheets. Repeat 3 more times until you have 4 layers. Cover the last layer only with the béchamel, and the remaining nutritional yeast, and finish with some green beans and potatoes. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 170° C. Let it stand for 5 minutes before serving.
