Spanish Lasagne
6 Pieces Lasagne, uncooked
2 tsp Vegetable oil
2 Red bell peppers, diced
3 Garlic cloves, minced
28 oz Canned crushed tomatoes
1/2 tsp Salt
10 oz Frozen peas, thawed
1 pinch Saffron
Grated zest of 2 oranges*
3 cup Grated mozzarella cheese
-(part-skim), divided


Cook lasagne according to package directions; drain.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Warm the oil in a large, non-stick
skillet over medium heat. Add peppers and garlic. Saute until peppers
are very soft. Add tomatoes, saffron, orange zest and salt. Remove
from heat and set aside 1 cup of tomato mixture.

Spread a little of the tomato mixture in the bottom of a 9 x 13 x
2-inch baking dish. Cover with four pieces of lasagne (three
lengthwise, one widthwise) and then continue by adding cheese, peas,
tomatoes and lasagne. Top with reserved tomatoes and cheese. Bake
uncovered until browned on top and bubbly, about 40 minutes.

*The "zest" of an orange is the outermost part of the peel. Do NOT
use the white part of the peel (the "pith").
