Sweet Corn, Basil & Poblanos Lasagna

July 27, 2012 1 Comment

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

We love this recipe, and wanted to make it even better. We roasted poblano peppers for heat, grilled the corn for extra flavor and added layers of whole corn kernels for texture. The basil rounded off the dish nicely. The combination was just perfect, a symphony of amazing, sweet, creamy and slightly spicy deliciousness! A perfect summer starter or as a meal with a lightly dressed salad and a crisp, fruity glass of white wine.

Corn Lasagna

Grill the corn cobs and remove kernels, set aside.
