Garden Lasagna

This was one doozie of a recipe!  It was a lot of ingredients and time for essentially a fancy salad. 

So, I will just get right to it.  You will want to soak some cashews in prep for the Cashew-Pine Nut Ricotta.  The Ricotta was pretty easy to make.  Throw all your ingredients in a food processor and waa-laa!  You could definitely take any leftovers from the ricotta and make a yummy sandwich or wrap.  Here is what you will need to put some protein in your lasagna.

Next up is the Tomato Relish.  This was actually pretty awesome.  It had lots of flavor and I think was the best part of this dish.  It would make a killer pasta sauce.  It was a cinch to make because it just required a bit of chopping.

The last major component to the lasagna was an Olive Tapenade.  I have made the tapenade before so I didn't list it above, but here is the link if you want to check it out: http://crazysexykitchenproject.blogspot.com/2012/12/cucumber-cups.html

Here are the remaining ingredients needed for your lasagna.  I warned you this was a whopper of a recipe!

Can you tell this wasn't my favorite?  It was just too much work for what it was.  The flavor is good and the presentation was nice.

So if you have the time go for it!
