Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Cook lasagne noodles according to package directions.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp (30 mL) oil in large skillet set over medium-high heat; cook grape tomatoes, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes or until starting to blister and caramelize slightly.

Step 3

Stir in garlic, salt and pepper; cook for about 1 minute or until garlic is softened. Remove from heat. Stir in strained tomatoes, remaining oil and 1/2 cup (125 mL) basil.

Step 4

Spread 1/2 cup (125 mL) sauce in bottom of 13- x 9-inch (3.5 L) baking dish. Arrange 4 noodles lengthwise over top; spread evenly with one-quarter of the remaining sauce. Layer mozzarella evenly over top. Arrange half of the remaining noodles crosswise over top, cutting to fit if needed. Spread evenly with one-quarter of the sauce. Arrange remaining noodles lengthwise on top. Spread with remaining sauce; sprinkle with Parmesan.

Step 5

Cover with foil; bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil; bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with remaining basil.

Tip

Substitute shredded regular mozzarella for fresh mozzarella cheese if preferred.
