Ingredients

2 Lasagna sheets cooked and halved
340 grams cherry tomatoes quartered
1 clove garlic
1 pinch salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
basil to taste
6 slices mozzarella cheese fresh
Parmigiano Reggiano shavings to taste
optional: pesto, balsamic glaze, prosciutto, salami any additions will be delish!

Instructions

Note: feel free to add pesto under the mozzarella or even layer on some salty prosciutto or salami.
In boiling salted water, add two lasagna sheets. Boil until al-dente.
In the meantime, cut the cherry tomatoes (quartered), and toss in a bowl with garlic, salt, olive oil, and basil.
When the lasagna sheets are cooked, cut each one in half. Take a lasagna halve, place it on a plate and add 3 slices of fresh mozzarella.
Next, add the second lasagna halve and a big spoonful of the cherry tomato bruschetta mixture. To top it off, add shavings of good quality Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

Notes

Gluten-free: Make this with gluten-free pasta or use grilled zucchini or eggplant instead.
Tomato varieties: Use any tomatoes you have on hand: heirloom, vine ripe, or even sun-dried tomatoes.
Cheeses: Feel free to substitute mozzarella for burrata or ricotta for a creamier texture.
Add-ins: Spread pesto between the layers for a flavorful twist. Or drizzle balsamic glaze on top for even more richness.
Proteins: Layer in proteins like thin sliced prosciutto or salami.
