Berry Dessert Lasagna
FoFa says:
"If you like this type of rather light desert, you will love this one. Not overly sweet (as made), and you can substitute something like splenda for the sugar to reduce the calorie count even further. I don't always strain the berries, but I am one of those I like the seeds and chucnks kind of people."
Ingredients
12 lasagna noodles
4 cups ricotta cheese
1 cup sugar, divided
8 kiwifruit, peeled
4 cups strawberries, washed and trimmed, 8 reserved for garnishing
4 cups blackberries, washed
1/2 cup toasted, sliced almonds
Mint sprigs, to garnish
Directions
Cook the pasta according to package directions. Rinse, drain and set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta cheese and 1/2 cup sugar. Set aside.
In the food processor, puree 4 kiwifruit with 2 tablespoons sugar. Transfer the puree to a bowl and set it aside. Rinse the processor bowl.
In the processor, puree half the strawberries with 2 tablespoons sugar. Strain the puree into a bowl and set it aside. Rinse the processor bowl.
In the processor, puree half the blackberries with 2 tablespoons sugar. Strain the puree and set it aside.

Slice the kiwifruit into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Slice the strawberries into 1/8-inch thick pieces.
Slice the blackberries in half. Reserve 1/4 cup of each of the purees to use as a garnish when serving.

To assemble the lasagna, first cover the bottom of a 9-inch-by-13-inch glass baking pan with 3 pieces of pasta.
Spoon 1/3 of the ricotta on top and spread it evenly.
Pour the kiwifruit puree over the cheese and arrange the kiwifruit slices on the puree.
Lay on 3 more pieces of pasta and cover with 1/2 the remaining cheese.
Pour the strawberry puree over the cheese and sprinkle with sliced strawberries.
Lay on 3 more pieces of pasta and cover with the remaining cheese.
Pour the blackberries puree over the cheese and sprinkle with blackberries.
Top with a final layer of pasta.
Cover tightly with plastic and refrigerate overnight.

Just before serving, sprinkle the lasagna with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and with the toasted almonds.
Cut into 8 rectangles and use a spatula to set the pieces on dessert plates.
Decorate the plates with dots of reserved purees.
Garnish each piece of lasagna with a strawberry and a sprig of mint.
