  1. Preheat oven to 420 degrees.
  2. Pour extra-virgin olive oil into a small roasting pan until it is ¼ inch deep.

Roasted Garlic Alfredo Sauce

  1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour and whisk over heat for 1-2 minutes.  Add cream and milk slowly, while whisking, and simmer on medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until sauce starts thickening.  Remove 1 ½ cups sauce and mix with reserved roasted garlic until smooth in a food processor or a blender.  Add mixture back to original sauce pan.
  2. Add salt, chicken bouillon, peppers, nutmeg, and cayenne.  Slowly whisk in parmesan cheese.
  3. Bring sauce up to a simmer.  Turn down heat, and continue to cook on low until desired thickness. (Sauce will thicken when cooled.)

Assembling Lasagna

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 
  2. In a greased 9” x 13” pan, lightly cover the bottom of the pan with Alfredo sauce.  Add layer of lasagna noodles.  Then layer roasted vegetables and then fresh mozzarella cheese, reserving some cheese for the top layer.   Add another layer of lasagna noodles and Alfredo sauce.  Then repeat until pan is full. 
  3. Cook lasagna for 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes or until completely cooked through.  Finish by broiling top until cheese is browned.  Remove from oven and cool.  Top with basil and serve.

(Note:  Add up to  ¼ cup more grated parmesan  if you’re a cheese lover.)
