Ingredients

• 6 pieces Matzo sheets
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large, diced Onion
• 4 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 medium, diced Eggplant
• 1 medium, diced Zucchini
• 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 cup, chopped Fresh basil
• 0.5 cup, chopped Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Ricotta cheese
• 1 cup, crumbled Feta cheese
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 3

Stir in the diced eggplant and zucchini. Cook until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

While the sauce simmers, prepare the matzo sheets. Quickly dip each sheet into warm water and set aside on a clean towel to soften slightly.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, feta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese (reserve 1 cup for the topping), and eggs. Mix well until smooth.

Step 7

In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the vegetable sauce on the bottom. Lay two softened matzo sheets on top to cover the sauce.

Step 8

Spread a third of the cheese mixture over the matzo sheets, followed by a layer of the vegetable sauce.

Step 9

Repeat the layering process (matzo, cheese mixture, vegetable sauce) two more times, ending with a layer of vegetable sauce on top.

Step 10

Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

Step 11

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 12

Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Scacchi Mediterranean Passover Lasagna!
