How to cook deliciously - Guy Fieri's Fire-Roasted Fieri Lasagna

1. Stage

Make the veggie ragu: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

2. Stage

Place eggplant, yellow squash, zucchini, bell pepper, fennel, celery, carrot, onion, kale, garlic, chili flakes, basil, marjoram, and oregano in a large bowl and mix well to combine. Spread the vegetables out on two large roasting pans and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes, until well charred. Spoon crushed tomatoes over the vegetables and bake until browned and bubble, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.

3. Stage

Working in batches, place the vegetables in a food processor and process until the vegetables are well broken down into a chunky-sauce consistency.

4. Stage

Make the lasagna: In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, bring 2 gallons of water to a boil. Add 2 tbsp salt. Add lasagna noodles and stir gently to separate. Cook lasagna noodles until al dente, 8 to 9 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a large bowl of ice water. When the noodles are done, drain, then plunge immediately into ice water for 30 seconds to stop the cooking process. Drain and spread noodles on a rock.

5. Stage

In a large bowl, combine ricotta, half of the Parmesan, egg, nutmeg, and pepper. Mix well to combine and set aside.

6. Stage

In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Add garlic, spinach, and remaining 1 tsp salt. Sauté spinach until tender and wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and pour off any liquid. Transfer spinach to a clean kitchen towel and twist into a ball to squeeze out any excess moisture. Set aside.

7. Stage

Preheat oven to 350 F. Have ready a heavy 10 x 14 x 3-inch lasagna pan.

8. Stage

Assemble lasagna: ladle 1 cup ragu into bottom and around sides of pan. Arrange several lasagna noodles on top of sauce, slightly overlapping to create an even layer that completely covers ragu. Spread 2 cups ragu over lasagna noodles, followed by one-third ricotta mixture, one-quarter mozzarella, and one-third spinach.

9. Stage

Arrange more noodles on top, overlapping to cover spinach. Spread 2 cups ragu over noodles, followed by half of remaining ricotta, one-third mozzarella, and half of the spinach. Arrange more noodles on top. Spread 2 cups ragu over them, followed by remaining ricotta, half remaining mozzarella, and remaining spinach. Arrange more noodles on top. Spread remaining ragu on top and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan and basil, marjoram, and oregano.

10. Stage

Cover the pan with heavy-grade plastic food wrap (or parchment paper), then wrap the whole pan tightly with aluminum foil. Place the pan on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) in the center of the oven. Bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil and plastic food wrap and bake for 20 minutes longer, until well browned around the edges and bubbling. Finish under the broiler if necessary. Cool for 20 minutes before serving.
