Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
8 square fresh lasagna noodles (each about 5 inches)
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
12 ounces edible weeds, thick stems removed and large leaves roughly chopped (about 9 ounces trimmed)
1/4 cup golden raisins

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add 1 tablespoon oil. In a medium bowl, stir together ricotta, tarragon, and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper.
  • A few at a time, cook lasagna noodles until al dente. Using tongs, transfer to a baking sheet, laying each square flat. Cover with plastic wrap. Empty water and reserve pot.
  • In pasta pot, heat remaining oil over medium-high. Add garlic and cook until tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Add weeds; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in raisins and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.
  • On each of four serving plates, top one lasagna noodle with about 1/4 cup weed mixture and 2 tablespoons ricotta mixture. Top with another noodle, 1/4 cup weeds, and 2 tablespoons ricotta. Drizzle with oil, if desired, and serve immediately.
