Here's a lasagna that's perfect for summer.

Vegetable Lasagna with Chavrie Goat Cheese

Serves 6 to 8

2 small summer squash
1 each eggplant peeled
Kosher salt
1 (12-ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained
1 package Chavrie goat cheese
1/3 cup pitted olives
2 teaspoons chopped thyme
2 eggs
1 jar tomato sauce
1 box ready-to-use lasagna noodles
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

1. Slice the eggplant and squash lengthwise into 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick strips. Lay the strips out on baking sheet pan and salt generously. Set aside.

2. Slice the peppers lengthwise into 1 1/2-inch strips.

3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Mix the goat cheese, olives, thyme and eggs together in a bowl and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
Thoroughly wipe excess salt and moisture from eggplant and squash with paper towel.

4. Spread 1 cup of the tomato sauce into the bottom of an 8-by-11-inch baking dish. Begin layering, remembering to season with pepper between each layer. Start with the eggplant and then summer squash, peppers and pasta.

5. Spread sauce evenly over pasta. Dollop spoonfuls of the cheese mixture over the sauce cover. Repeat with the remaining eggplant, squash, goat cheese and sauce.

6. Sprinkle top layer with Parmesan and bake, covered, for 30 minutes, then uncover. Continue baking until the vegetables are tender and the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes more. Let lasagna stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

When the opportunity to become the food writer at the Tulsa World presented itself in the summer of 2011, Nicole jumped at it.
