Kale Lasagna

Kale LasagnaYum!

I have been slightly obsessed with kale, so when I came across a recipe for kale lasagna I new I must try it. I made this up for the family dinner tonight and it is soooo good I have already had two pieces. This recipe was adapted from Vegetarian Times. I used Barilla no bake lasagna noodles, and Muir Glen Organic Tomato Puree. This is a fast and easy recipe perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 bunch of kale, remove stems, then roughly chop
 15-oz. ricotta
 4 oz. goat cheese
2 garlic cloves, chopped
28 oz. canned tomato puree
crushed red pepper flakes 1/2 teaspoon , or to taste
12 no bake lasagna noodles
Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees

2. Cook chopped kale in large pot of salted water for 2 minutes. Drain and let cool

3. Mash together goat cheese and ricotta in a bowl

4. Heat olive oil in pan, then add chopped garlic. Cook garlic for 1 minute stirring ,then add tomato puree and red pepper flakes, simmer for 5 minutes.

5. Spread about a cup of the sauce on the bottom of a square 8x8 pan. Place noodles on top of sauce,         followed by 1/2 of the cheese mixture and 1/2 of the kale, top with sauce and start again. Finally top with noodles and rest of sauce, sprinkle with parmesan and bake for 35 minutes.

Kale Chips

Homemade Kale Chips Try these @ home they are a fun finger food, that is a healthy snack for the entire family. INGREDIENTS 1 bunch of kale, washed and dried thoroughly olive oil, for drizzling sea salt, for sprinkling DIRECTIONS Preheat the oven to 275 degrees Remove the ribs from the kale and cut into chip size pieces. Lay on a baking sheet, make sure to not crowd, I used 2 rimmed baking sheets.  Toss the kale with the olive oil and salt, I found this easier to use your hands to toss the kale to make sure each leaf was coated evenly. Bake until crisp, turning the leaves halfway through, about 20 minutes. Serve as finger food. Let me know how your family likes this one!!
