- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl mix the ricotta cheese with salt and half a c. of Pesto Oil.
- Lightly grease a large rectangular baking dish, then spoon 1/2 c. of Puttanesca Sauce onto the bottom of the dish. Cover with a layer of lasagna noodles. Top the lasagna with a layer of ricotta, then a layer of eggplant, zucchini, onion and red pepper, a layer of grated mozzarella, and a layer of puttanesca sauce. Repeat layering the lasagna, ricotta, vegetables, mozzarella and sauce in this manner till all ingredients have been used, ending with mozzarella on top.
- Bake till the lasagna is bubbling and golden, about 1 hour and 15 min. Allow to rest 10 min before serving, drizzled with some of the remaining pesto oil.
- For Puttanesca Sauce: In a large pot heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the onion and saute/fry till soft and lightly caramelized, about 6 min. Add in the garlic and cook an additional 2 min. Add in the tomatoes and the remaining ingredients and simmer till the sauce is thickened and slightly reduced, about 40 min. Adjust seasoning to taste, cover and set aside.
- For Pesto Oil: In the bowl of a food processor or possibly blender place the garlic and basil and process on high while adding the extra virgin olive oil in a steady stream. Continue to process till well blended, season with salt to taste and set aside till ready to assemble lasagna.
- For Grilled Vegetables: Light the grill or possibly pre-heat the broiler.
- In a large shallow bowl, toss the eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper and onion with the oil and salt. If using the broiler, arrange the vegetables in a single layer on 2 lightly greased or possibly non-stick baking sheets. Grill or possibly broil in batches, turning the vegetables once, till they are tender, lightly browned, and have released most of their moisture, about 5 to 6 min per side.
- This recipe yields 8 to 10 servings.
