Author Notes
This recipe was inspired by a 2lb variety bag of summer squash from the Farmer's Market. After getting it home I realized I was faced with a challenge to cook all of it in one easy dish so I could justify falling for a bulk buy. Immediately one of my favorite casseroles including beans and tomato sauce came to mind. Hmm..why not throw in some squash? Brillant. I peek over and see some week old lavash bread that has about one day until retirement. I get the idea to throw that in and layer it like a lasanga. The result equals success confirmed by husband and a new summer casserole staple. —Laci

Ingredients
-
2
cans of cannellini beans or fresh beans
-
2 cups
frozen or fresh corn
-
4 cups
diced summer squash
-
2-
sheets of Trader Joe's Lavash Bread (or any day old bread)
-
1-
28 oz can of diced tomatoes
-
1-2
cloves of garlic minced
-
1/4 cup
olive oil
-
1 pinch
red pepper flakes
-
1.5 teaspoons
cumin
-
1.5 cups
shredded asiago cheese (or cheese of your choice)
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
-
In a cold saucepan on the stove add 1/4 cup olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of red peper flakes. Heat on medium until the garlic becomes fragrant then add a can of diced tomatoes and simmer on low for 10 mintues before turning off the heat.
-
Combine diced squash, beans, and corn in a bowl. Add a tablespoon of olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. (I use a seasoning called "Spike" in place of the salt and pepper).
-
Combine the veggie mixture with the tomato sauce.
-
Oil a casserole dish and pour in a bottom layer of veggie mixture. Top the veggies with a lavash bread and alternate until you run out of veggies and end with lavash bread on top.
-
Bake in the oven until the veggies are cooked through and the tomato sauce is firm. This will take about 30-40 minutes depending on the amount of veggies and sauce used.
-
Take the casserole out of the oven and layer the lavash bread with the cheese. Put the casserole back into the oven until the cheese mixture melts.
-
Serve hot with a chilled diced avocado on top.
