As the saying goes, where there is a will there is a way, kudos to you. I've never used or bought some of those ingrediants (leeks, balsamic vinegar). It sounds good and I'll try anything once. Thanks for sharing.

Technically, lasagna is the name for the flat pasta noodle. The dish, lasagna, is layers of the noodles alternated with sauces and any other ingredients. There's no hard and fast rule that lasagna has to have beef and/or tomatoes. So whip up a nice white sauce and slather that over your pasta and whatever. I'd go with shredded chicken and roasted veggies like eggplant and zucchini, maybe some mushrooms. Add some Asiago to that white sauce...goes well with the chicken.

Now I've made myself hungry...and planned Sunday's dinner.

Glad you posted this.  I have an intolerance to tomatoes that has gotten worse with age so I am always on the hunt for tomato-free alternatives to common dishes.  This one looks good.

You're right.  It was always that I liked the Ragú and Bechamel version that's best known and hs a fairly traditional following.

Unfortunately, eggplant (which we know as Aubergine) is another trigger food I have to avoid, but shredded chicken sounds like something I might have to try.
