Fennel lasagna with ricotta

What you need:
200g fennel (and the small greens)
1 shallot
1 garlic clove
1 tbsp butter
50ml white wine
150ml vegetable broth
120g ricotta
5 lasagna noodles (oven-ready)
salt
pepper
20g Parmesan cheese

What you do:
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.

Thinly slice the shallot, garlic and the fennel. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, add shallot and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add the fennel and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the wine, let most of it evaporate. Pour in the vegetable broth, stir, take away from the heat. Stir in the ricotta. Season with salt and pepper. Chop the fennel greens and add them to the sauce.

In a small casserole dish, layer the sauce and the noodles, starting with sauce. On top of the last lasagna noodle, spread the rest of the sauce (if there’s nothing left, use some extra ricotta). Top with Parmesan. Bake for 25 minutes. Serve immediately.
