LASAGNA
I don't have an exact recipe for this one. It's more of a feel it out type dish.

Ingredients
For Filling:
Red potatoes
Onions
Fresh garlic
Veggies of your choice (I used broccolini, Italian parsley and frozen kale)
Cheese of your choice (I used vegan cheese and homemade ricotta)
Sauce
Matzo

1. Thinly slice potatoes and onions and sauté with fresh garlic. Let the onions get started first and then add the potatoes.
2. Chop additional veggies and add to sauté.
3. While veggies are sautéing, prepare cheese by mixing ricotta with chopped kale or spinach.
4. Assemble lasagna. Start with a layer of sauce on the bottom. Use matzo for your second layer. Add filling and another layer of matzo. For your top layer, use matzo with sauce and cheese on top.
5. Cook covered for 50 minutes at 425. Then uncover and leave in until the top gets nice and gooey.

HERBED "RICOTTA"

1. Puree all ingredients in a food processor for 1 minute.
2. Scrape down the sides and puree for another minute, until light and fluffy.
