• Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Layer 4 tortillas over the sauce. Top with 1/2 cup zucchini, 1/2 cup corn, 1/2 cup cheese and 1/4 cup of the remaining onion. Repeat the layers twice. Top with the remaining tortillas, zucchini, corn and onion. Spread the remaining sauce on top.
• Coat a large piece of foil with cooking spray and cover the baking dish tightly. Bake the enchiladas for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle on the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Continue baking until the cheese is melted and the edges are starting to brown, 15 to 20 minutes longer.

Add the thyme and garlic and saute until fragrant, 1 minute. Add in the chipotle chiles and zucchini and cook over medium-low heat until the flavors incorporate, 5 minutes. Stir in the flour. Add the cream and bring just to a simmer; stir in the adobo sauce. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
• Preheat the broiler to high.
• For assembling the lasagna: Spread about one-quarter of the zucchini-corn mixture over the bottom of a large gratin or 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with the ravioli in an even layer. Pour over the remaining zucchini-corn mixture. Top with the cheese.
• Broil until the top is browned and bubbly, about 8 minutes.

Repeat with remaining zucchini. Discard oil from skillet; wipe skillet clean. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add chilies and pepper and stir until heated through, about 3 minutes. Stir in zucchini and corn. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook until corn is tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Trim the ends from the zucchini. Using a food processor, a mandolin or a sharp knife, cut the zucchini in thin, uniform rounds.
• Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet or a wok. Add the garlic, then immediately toss in the corn kernels, jalapeno pepper and red pepper and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the zucchini and stir-fry just until the zucchini begins to wilt, about two minutes.
• Fold in the basil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot. The dish can also be set aside to cool to room temperature before serving, but if so, the ingredients will benefit from the addition of another tablespoon of olive oil drizzled over them.
