This deconstructed lasagna is not only healthful but quick to make. The noodles aren't baked under heavy layers of cheese and sauce -- just dressed with ingredients right after being boiled.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
7 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 cups mixed red and yellow cherry or grape tomatoes, halved (2 pints)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2/3 cup chicken stock
8 lasagna noodles
2/3 cup small basil leaves
1/2 cup reduced-fat ricotta cheese
1 ounce Pecorino Romano cheese, shaved

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a high-sided skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic until pale golden, about 3 minutes. Add 2 cups tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until soft, about 7 minutes. Add stock. Simmer until saucelike, about 1 minute. Add remaining cup tomatoes. Cook until warm, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain.
  • Toss pasta in skillet to coat. Stir in basil, reserving some for garnish.
