Vegetable lasagne with nuts and burrata is a real find for gourmets. Burrata is a delicate Italian cheese with a creamy centre that melts in your mouth, making it a real treat that is worth trying. The combination of crunchy nuts and soft vegetables creates a contrast of textures that will not leave you indifferent. Another advantage is that this lasagna is 40% lighter in calories than the classic version, making it ideal for those who want to enjoy the taste without the extra calories.


Variations

- Use mozzarella and cream instead of burrata.

- You can use different nuts: walnuts, hazelnuts or even pine nuts.

- Add spinach or broccoli for extra health benefits.


Secrets of tenderness and taste

- Do not cook the lasagne sheets in advance — they will cook in the sauce.

- Let the lasagne rest for 15 minutes after baking for easier cutting.

- Add the burrata just before serving — this will keep it tender.


Tips on ingredients

- Look for burrata in specialised shops or replace it with stracciatella.

- Use fresh tomatoes in summer and canned tomatoes in winter for the sauce.

- Toasted nuts have a more intense flavour — don't skip this step.


Small culinary nuances

- Cut the vegetables to the same thickness for even baking.

- Do not make the sauce too thin, otherwise the lasagne will be watery.

- Cover with foil for the first 30 minutes of baking to preserve juiciness.

Preparation steps

01

Prepare the vegetables — Cut the courgette and aubergine into thin slices 5 mm thick. Cut the peppers into strips. Lightly salt and leave for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture. ⏱ 15 min. Guide: The vegetables will release water, which should be drained.

02

Frying the vegetables — Fry the courgettes and aubergines in olive oil until golden brown on both sides, 2-3 minutes each. Separately, fry the onion and garlic until translucent. ⏱ 15 min. Guideline: The vegetables should be soft and slightly browned.

03

Preparing the tomato sauce — Add the tomatoes in their own juice, tomato paste, half of the basil, salt and pepper to the onions. Simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes. ⏱ 15 min. Guideline: The sauce has thickened and reduced in volume by a third.

04

Preparing the nuts — Dry the nuts in a dry frying pan for 3-5 minutes, allow to cool and chop coarsely with a knife. ⏱ 5 min. Guideline: The nuts are fragrant and slightly darkened.

05

Assembling the lasagne — Layer the tomato sauce, lasagne sheets, vegetables (zucchini, eggplant, peppers), mozzarella and nuts in a baking dish. Repeat the layers 3 times. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese on top. ⏱ 10 min. Guideline: All ingredients are evenly distributed in layers.

06

Baking — Cover the dish with foil and bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes until golden brown. ⏱ 45 min. Guideline: The top is golden brown, the sauce is bubbling around the edges.

07

Resting and serving — Let the lasagne rest for 15 minutes. Cut into portions, top each portion with torn burrata and garnish with fresh basil. ⏱ 15 min. Guide: The lasagne cuts easily and holds its shape.

08

Tip: Add the burrata just before serving so that it stays warm but does not melt completely. Lasagne tastes better the day after it is made.
