Description

A delicious vegetable lasagna filled with fresh ingredients and topped with cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook lasagna noodles until al dente; drain and set aside.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil. Sauté onion and garlic until translucent. Add mushrooms, zucchini, and bell pepper; cook until softened. Stir in spinach until wilted.
  4. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, oregano, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. In a baking dish, layer marinara sauce on the bottom. Add three noodles followed by half of the ricotta mixture and sautéed vegetables. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Repeat layers.
  6. Top with remaining noodles covered in marinara and mozzarella; finish with Parmesan.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes; uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, ensure all ingredients are plant-based.
  • You can substitute the marinara sauce with homemade tomato sauce for a fresher flavor.
