This recipe creatively unites some of summer’s offerings—basil and zucchini, mostly—and transforms an otherwise standard ricotta filling into a smash hit. The flavors from the basil pesto mingle brilliantly with the zucchini, fresh fish, and various cheeses. I absolutely loved it, and I think you will, too. TIPS: Make the pesto and ricotta filling a day ahead of time, and remember to drain any excess liquid from the cooked zucchini, or the filling will be too wet. Once made, the lasagna can be finished and assembled rather easily.
