Back to recipes

Food

A very subtle recipe which combines the fresh flavours of courgettes and cherry tomatoes with the bolder, more aromatic taste of gorgonzola.

INGREDIENTS
Lasagne all'uovo Barilla 10n°
Sweet blue cheese 200g
Zucchini (Italian squash)150g
Butter 55g
Wheat Flour 55g
Grated Parmesan cheese 35g
Whole milk 900 ml
Cherries tomato 15 n°
Shallot 1n°
Dry marjoram 1 tea spoon
Extra virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons
Nutmeg 1
pinch of Salt to taste and Pepper to taste

PREPARATION
1.Brown the chopped shallot in the oil, add the diced courgettes and the marjoram and cook for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.

2.To make the bechamel sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan, whisk in the flour, add the hot milk, a pinch of nutmeg and salt, bring to the boil, mixing all the time to prevent lumps forming. Add the gorgonzola in small pieces, allowing it to melt slightly. Add the courgettes and halved cherry tomatoes to the bechamel.

3.Butter an oven dish and spread a ladlefull of the bechamel and filling over the bottom, arrange two sheets of Lasagne, cover with the filling, a layer of bechamel and sprinkle with Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Continue like this to build up five layers and then bake in the oven at 220°C for 20 minutes.

NOTE

You can replace the shallot with leek sliced into rounds, which goes wonderfully with the courgettes. You can garnish the dish with whole walnut kernels and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

SUGGESTED WINE

This very aromatic, somewhat spicy, flavoursome dish is best accompanied by a velvety soft red wine with a discrete alcohol content and good body, like a Valpolicella Veneto.
