Caramelized onion lasagne

Easy and good, and you can speed things up by preparing the onions, eggplant, etc. ahead of time.

Steps:
  • Caramelize your onions (cook slowly pver low heat until soft and sweet and golden).
  • Roast, grill, or sauté slices of zucchini and  eggplant.
  • Make your cheese mixture: 3 beaten eggs + ricotta + grated whatever other types of cheese you like + nutmeg.
  • Layer your cooked noodles with grilled veggies + tomato sauce, cheese mixture, and some spoonfuls of goat's milk cheese.
  • Finish with a layer of the caramelized onions (I use a lot, maybe a cup and a half of them) and  some grated mozzarella + parmesan.
Tips:
  • Put a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of your baking dish before adding the first layer of noodles.
  • Use fresh lasagne noodles or the dried ones that you have to boil in advance. The noodles that cook while baking are weird. They taste a tiny bit bizarre. I think. But I might be over-thinking things and just making extra work for myself.
