Ingredients
  

Lasagna Ingredients
  • 9 pieces lasagna noodles regular or no-boil if you adjust assembly
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese for creamy binder
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese for topping
  • 4 cups mixed vegetables spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers suggested
  • 2 cups marinara sauce for layering
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions. Drain and lay flat so they don’t stick.
  3. In a bowl, stir together the ricotta, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Assembly
  1. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce across the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Place three lasagna noodles on top of the sauce. Spread half the ricotta mixture over the noodles, then scatter half the mixed vegetables evenly.
  3. Sprinkle about a third of the mozzarella over the vegetables.
  4. Repeat: three noodles, remaining ricotta, remaining vegetables, and another third of the mozzarella.
  5. Finish with the last three noodles, spread the remaining marinara sauce on top, then cover with the remaining mozzarella and the Parmesan.
Baking
  1. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil and bake an additional 15 minutes, until the cheese bubbles and turns golden.
  3. Let the lasagna rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing to allow layers to set.

Notes

For lower-fat version, use part-skim ricotta and mozzarella. Consider sautéing watery vegetables first to remove excess moisture. For an extra creamy texture, beat ricotta before spreading.
