Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds yellow squash or zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 pound ground white-meat chicken
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/3 cup packed fresh basil leaves, torn
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh marjoram or oregano
- 5 cups prepared pasta sauce
- 8 no-boil lasagna noodles
- 1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan (3 1/4 ounces)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with racks in middle and upper third.
Divide squash between two rimmed baking sheets. Toss each with 1
tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until tender, 20
minutes, stirring squash and rotating sheets halfway through. Let sheets
cool on wire racks.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high.
Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 4
minutes. Add cayenne, basil, and marjoram and season with salt and
pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 3 minutes. Transfer
chicken to a medium bowl.
Spread 1 cup sauce in an 8-inch square baking dish. Top with 2 noodles.
Layer with half the chicken, then 1 cup sauce and 1/4 cup Parmesan. Top
with 2 more noodles, half the squash, 1 cup sauce, and 1/4 cup Parmesan.
Repeat layering with remaining ingredients, reserving the last 1/4 cup
Parmesan. Cover lasagna loosely with foil and bake on top rack until
sauce is bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes. (Place a rimmed baking sheet on
middle rack to catch any drippings.) Remove lasagna from oven and heat
broiler. Sprinkle with reserved Parmesan and broil until cheese is
browned and bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes before
slicing.
