Depending on where you are, it may hardly feel like lasagna season, and if this is the case, save this one for the fall or a chilly late-summer weekend — it's a great way to transform a heap of vegetables into a crowd-pleasing vegetarian entrée.

As far as lasagna recipes go, this one is on the unfussy side: there's no layer of bechamel, no layer of ricotta and egg, and it calls for no-boil noodles (a miracle!). Moreover: there's no need to salt the eggplant prior to cooking to draw out its moisture — roasting takes care of that.

In sum, this lasagna is a layering of homemade tomato sauce, noodles, roasted eggplant rounds, sautéed Swiss chard (optional), and a mix of parmesan and mozzarella.

But know that you can use this recipe as a guide! In place of the eggplant and Swiss chard, you can add any vegetables you like: roasted red peppers, sautéed mushrooms, roasted butternut squash, sautéed beet greens, roasted cauliflower, etc. Any number of roasted (or sautéed! or grilled!) vegetables will work — the key is to use cooked vegetables to ensure the water has been removed.

Samin's Corn Soup: I find the herb salsa to be essential here to cut the sweetness of this (5-ingredient 🎉) soup. If it's not quite hot soup season where you are, know that this one can be served chilled!
