Method
Step 1
To prepare Béchamel sauce: Bring milk to a boil while in a separate pot melt butter with the olive oil, add flour and cook for 3 minutes over medium heat. Stir in boiling milk little by little whisking continuously, bring to boil and cook for 3 minutes Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Set aside for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, pre-heat oven to 400° F.
Step 3
Bring a large pot of water to boil, blanch lasagne sheets for 3 minutes, drain and set aside on kitchen towels.
Step 4
In a hot skillet add olive oil and sauté onion, celery and sweet potatoes over high heat for 3 minutes, stir in zucchini, yellow squash and keep cooking for 3 more minutes.
Step 5
Stir in tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and sauté additional 3 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the mixture on the side for garnishing.
Step 6
In a 13” x 9” greased baking dish start building lasagne by adding enough béchamel to thinly cover the bottom of the dish, and then add 3 sheets of lasagne. Next spread a thin layer of bechamel, add 1/3 vegetable mixture and ¼ cup of cheese.
Step 7
Repeat 4 more times, but last layer should be left without vegetables.
Step 8
Bake at 400° F covered with aluminum foil for 40 minutes, uncover and let brown over the top for additional 5-8 minutes.
Step 9
Let rest 20 minutes before serving with remaining vegetables over the top, a light sprinkle of cheese and a touch of Italian parsley. Enjoy with family and friends!

Oven-Ready Lasagne
The wide flat sheets of lasagne pasta originally made by the Romans were called lasagne. Lasagne later came to refer to a dish cooked in a pot using long flat pasta sheets, layered with minced meat, cheese, and tomatoes. Barilla® Oven Ready Lasagne does not require boiling the pasta before baking -- simply add it directly to your pan and bake.
Barilla® Oven Ready Lasagne is made with non-GMO ingredients. For more information, please read our position.
