Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by slicing the zucchini into 1/4” rounds. Sprinkle the slices with salt and let them sit for about 20 minutes. Rinse under cool water and pat dry.
- Fill a pot with water and bring to a rolling boil. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl with cold water. Blanch kale and basil for 60 seconds, then transfer to ice bath.
- In a blender, combine the blanched greens, toasted pumpkin seeds, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and water. Blend until mostly smooth, adjusting water as necessary.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, mix one-third of the pesto with ricotta. Spoon the remaining pesto into the baking dish, layer noodles, ricotta mixture, zucchini, and scallions. Repeat layers.
- Spread the last portion of pesto over the top noodle layer, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. This will add a delicious topping.
- Carefully place the assembled lasagna in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes until cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing to serve warm, enjoying the comforting flavors.
