Marry Me Lasagna
Ingredients
• 20 oz. sun-dried tomatoes in oil, tomatoes finely chopped, plus more for serving, plus 5 Tbsp. sun-dried tomato oil, divided
• 10 garlic cloves, minced
• Kosher salt
• 1/4 cup (30 g.) all-purpose flour
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh basil
leaves, plus more for serving
• 1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh thyme
leaves
• 3/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
• 4 oz. Parmesan, finely grated (about 2 cups), plus more for serving
• 2 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
• 1 lb. dried lasagna noodles
• 4 oz. mozzarella, shredded
Directions
Step 1
Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°. In a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat, heat 2 Tbsp. tomato oil. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until softened and barely golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chopped tomatoes and cook, stirring, until just softened, about 1 minute more; season with 1/2 tsp. salt. Transfer to a plate.
Step 2
In same skillet over medium-low heat, heat remaining 3 Tbsp. tomato oil. Add flour and cook, whisking constantly until light golden, about 1 minute.
Whisk in cream and broth and bring to a simmer; season with 11/2 tsp. salt.
Step 3
Add tomato mixture, basil, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Continue to simmer over medium heat until sauce slightly thickens and is deep orange, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add Parmesan; season with salt, it needed.
Step 4
Bring a large pot of water to a boil; generously season with salt. Cook noodles, stirring occasionally so they don't stick, until very al dente, 9 to 11 minutes (noodles will continue to cook in the oven). Drain.
Step 5
In a 13"x 9" baking dish, spread 1/2 cup sauce. Layer 4 noodles on the bottom horizontally. Pour 1 cup sauce over top, covering end to end. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup chicken over. Repeat for the next 3 layers. Finish with remaining sauce.
Top with mozzarella and more chopped tomatoes.
Step 6
Bake lasagna until edges are golden and bubbly on top, 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 7
Transfer to a wire rack. Top with more basil and Parmesan. Let cool for 15 minutes.
