Ingredients
- 9 lasagne noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup spinach
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Cook the lasagne noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
-
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until they become fragrant and translucent.
-
Add the sliced zucchini, chopped red bell pepper, mushrooms, and spinach to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are tender.
-
Stir in the tomato sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, and season with salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
-
To assemble the lasagne, spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Then, layer three lasagne noodles on top followed by a layer of the sautéed vegetable mixture, a layer of the ricotta cheese mixture, and a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used up.
-
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
-
Remove from the oven and let the lasagne cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
