1/2 c. pesto
9 lasagna noodles, cooked
1/2 c. sour cream
1 T. all-purpose flour
salt and pepper
1 egg, beaten
1 c. ricotta cheese

Bake at 425F for 20 to 25 minutes, or until skins are blistered and dark.

Using a sharp knife, remove the skin from the peppers, pulling it off in strips; discard skins

Add sour cream, flour, salt, and pepper. Process until combined. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl combine egg, ricotta cheese, and cream cheese; stir in pesto and salmon.
To assemble, lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish; arrange 3 of the noodles in the bottom of the dish.
Spread with one third of the cheese mixture; repeat layers twice
Carefully spread roasted red pepper mixture over the top layer.
Bake, uncovered, a 375F for 30 to 35 minutes, or till heated through
