Matzo is the traditional unleavened bread eaten by Jews during Passover. A very dry kind of cracker, matzah needs something to liven it up. Those of us who grew up eating it have had to get creative for meals. We’re talking matzo pizza, matzo tuna melts, matzo nachos…the list goes on. At least for me, though, matzo lasagna (or my actual preferred spelling, matzah lasagna) had never been part of that list. Not for lack of interest \u2014 simply because I hadn’t heard of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One year, early on in my relationship with my wife, Sarah, we hosted a potluck seder. As we needed a vegetarian main course, Sarah came up with this version based on her recollections. She may have also had a craving for the Bay Area’s best pizza (I know, fighting words), the stuffed spinach-mushroom pizza from Zachary’s<\/a>. Now I can’t go a year without this amazing creation. For a vegetarian main course during Passover, it’s hard to beat Sarah’s matzo lasagna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Something formerly dry and unforgiving becomes a moist, delicious support for layers of tomato sauce, mozzarella, ricotta, spinach, and mushrooms. Even if you don’t have a potluck to go to, your family will happily devour it. Matzo lasagna is a super-easy, budget-friendly dish that reheats wonderfully. For the purists, go ahead and use plain (non-egg) matzo, but egg matzo has just that extra softness and flavor that really makes the dish work.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\t\n\t
