Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and lay them flat to prevent sticking.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper, sliced zucchini, yellow squash, and mushrooms. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and starting to brown, about 6–8 minutes.
- Stir in the 2 cups spinach and cook just until wilted. Season the vegetable mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
Assembly
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Place three lasagna noodles across the sauce. Spoon half the vegetable mixture evenly over the noodles. Dollop and gently spread half the ricotta over the vegetables. Sprinkle about one-third of the shredded mozzarella, then add more marinara sauce to cover.
- Repeat the layering: three noodles, remaining vegetables, remaining ricotta, another third of the mozzarella, and sauce. Finish with the last three noodles.
- Spread remaining marinara sauce over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and the grated Parmesan.
Baking
- Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve.
Notes
Best served with a simple salad and garlic bread. It can also be made ahead and refrigerated before baking.
