Use plain yogurt instead of ricotta and that fake mozzarella cheese for the topping. Here are several different versions. The one on the bottom sounds very nice! Sweet potato & pumpkin.

Beef, pork, or chicken stew (I sometimes make stew with smoked sausage.) with a variety of vegetables. I don't use recipes for stews. The chicken stew I made for dinner last night had cauliflower, broccoli, green beans, tender yellow summer squash, young zucchini -- all frozen when they were fresh; fresh carrots, onion, red and green bell peppers, and canned water chestnuts. I added some leftover gravy, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and a lot of black pepper. It was very good. I wish we had leftovers. My family likes stir-fry a lot. We have oven-roasted, or steamed, or sauteed vegetables often. If I can't get fresh veggies, I much prefer frozen over canned, but I've made some good soups and stews using canned vegetables, too.

I am responding to the GenkiChi, who was looking for a Lasagna recipe that didn't have ricotta, cream cheese or cottage cheese in the recipe. Fortunately, I have had the opportunity to have Lasagna when traveling in Northern Italy and the following recipe comes very close to the way they prepare it. I found the recipe in Cuisine at Home magazine. But, this one is not a Tomato Pumpkin Lasagne Recipe.

8-Layer Lasagna
For the meat sauce-

Brown:
1-1/2 lb. ground chuck
1-1/2 lb. ground mild Italian sausage

Add:
2 cups yellow onion, diced
2 T garlic, minced
2 T tomato paste
2 t. each dried basil, thyme, and oregano
1/2 t red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf

Stir in; Simmer:
1 can (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes in puree
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes, drained
3/4 cup beef broth or water
2 T balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

For the Bechamel-
Saute in 1/4 Cup Unsalted Butter:
1 cup yellow onion, diced
1/8 t cayenne
Pinch nutmeg

Stir in:
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Gradually Add:
3 cups whole milk
10 oz. Boursin cheese or Alouette
salt to taste
Whisk In:

8 oz. frozen chopped spinach (drain thoroughly)
1 egg, beaten
To Assemble-
Prepare:
* 1 lb. oven-ready lasagna sheets
1 lb. fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
6 oz. Parmesan cheese, grated

*Although pasta sheets are "oven-ready" they tend to break during assembly. Boil sheets until pliable,1 min., then arrange in single layer on a foil-lined, sprayed baking sheet. Separate each layer with sprayed foil.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in the center. Brown the meats in large saute pan over medium-high heat; spoon off as much of the fat as possible. Add onions, garlic, tomato paste and seasonings. Saute until onion softens, about 8 minutes. Stir in both types of tomatoes, broth, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Simmer over medium heat until most of the liquid is evaporated, about 10 minutes; set aside. Saute onion for the bechamel in melted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, cayenne, and nutmeg; cook until onion softens, about 5 minutes. Stir often to prevent scorching. Stir in flour to coat; cook 2 minutes. Gradually add milk, stirring until smooth. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add Boursin in small pieces and whisk until smooth; season with salt. Set aside 1 cup bechamel for the top of the lasagna. Cool remaining sauce for 10 minutes. Prepare lasagna sheets.


To Assemble:
Coat a 9x13x3" casserole with nonstick spray; spread 1/3 cup bechamel on the bottom (it will be a thin layer). Lay three pasta sheets across the bottom of the pan, then spread another 1/3 cup bechamel over them. Spread 1 cup meat sauce on the bechamel (the meat sauce won't completely cover the pasta; It's fine if the sauce blend). Top with mozzarella, sprinkle with Parmesan, then lay three more pasta sheets across the bottom. Keep layering in the manner until all the pasta is used. Spread the last layer with the reserved bechamel, then sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake lasaagna, uncovered, until hot, bubbly, and browned. Let rest 20-30 minutes before cutting to set the fillings. I might add, that if you have any leftovers, they freeze well. This is a real winner. Hope you enjoy.
