Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups béchamel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
  3. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until translucent (about 3 minutes).
  4. Add zucchini, bell pepper, spinach, and mushrooms; cook until tender (5-7 minutes). Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  5. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese with 1 cup mozzarella and ½ cup Parmesan.
  6. In a baking dish (9×13 inches), spread some béchamel sauce at the bottom. Layer three noodles on top followed by half of the ricotta mixture and half of the veggies; pour a third of the béchamel over this layer.
  7. Repeat layering: noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining veggies, topped with another third of béchamel.
  8. Add final three noodles on top; cover with remaining béchamel and sprinkle with leftover mozzarella and Parmesan.
  9. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes; remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden.
  10. Cool for about 10 minutes before serving; garnish with fresh basil if desired.
