Butter Chicken Lasagna
This butter chicken lasagna is an amazing new way to enjoy butter chicken. It has the delicious flavours of butter chicken, layered with sheets of pasta and topped with melted cheese.
Butter chicken lasagna is the latest craze, so I decided to create my own version that was filled with flavour and quick and easy to put together. I also like to make sure my meals are packed with vegetables, so I added grated sweet potato and zucchini.
The finishing touch to my lasagna was a layer of smooth ricotta. I wanted to add a creamy element, but didn’t want anything rich like a traditional béchamel sauce. The ricotta works perfectly in this dish, but the lasagna is still great without it if you prefer to omit the ricotta.
