Preparation
- To make the tomatoes, preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Using a pastry brush, brush the skin side of the tomatoes with the olive oil. Place skin side down on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper to taste. Bake until they shrink to about a quarter of their original size, about 4 to 6 hours; they should remain soft and juicy. Let the tomatoes cool on the baking sheet. Quarter the tomatoes and set aside.
- To make the lasagna, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the potato slices and blanch for 7 minutes. Drain and set aside. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and rosemary and cook for 30 seconds. Add the kale to the pot, stir once and cover with a lid. Cook for 12 minutes. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and the pepper flakes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together the ricotta, egg, remaining salt and pepper to taste. Spray an 11-by-7-inch baking dish with the olive oil. Line the bottom of the dish with 3 of the noodles, trimming them to fit if necessary. Spread the noodles with half of the ricotta mixture. Spread 3 cups of the kale mixture over the ricotta. Layer half of the potatoes over the kale and scatter with 3/4 cup of the tomato pieces. Repeat the layers, ending with remaining noodles.
- Spread the remaining kale mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with the ricotta salata and the remaining tomato pieces. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Cut into 6 pieces, place on a plate and serve.
