The most fresh and simple farm ingredients, inspire the most beautiful & delicious dish! It is one of my favourite times of year on the farm as we have a bountiful harvest. This lasagna is as farm to table as you can get. It features our Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, Genovese basil, onions and garlic. It truly is summer at its best. The tomatoes are  pureed in a food processor for a fresh flavour. I recommend using a peeler  to slice the zucchini for even and thin slices. I promise you, this will become one of your favourite summer favourites.

Enjoy

This recipe features one of my favourite Summer tomatoes we grow on the far. Our Sweet Sun Sugars truly suit their name. They are a sweet and delicious little Cherry tomato. Paired with our Genovese Basil and our field zucchini makes for a wonderful summer lasagna.
