Ingredients
Scale
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 jar marinara sauce
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles until al dente, drain, and lay flat.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Add zucchini, bell pepper, and mushrooms; cook until tender, about 6-8 minutes. Stir in spinach until wilted. Season with salt and pepper; remove from heat.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in a baking dish, layer with lasagna noodles, vegetable mixture, dollops of ricotta, and mozzarella. Repeat layers, ending with marinara and mozzarella on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan, oregano, and basil.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Let the lasagna rest before slicing for neat servings. Feel free to add your favorite vegetables or protein for a personalized touch.
