Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box lasagna noodles
- 2 cups mixed roasted vegetables (zucchini, bell peppers, onions)
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, plus more for topping
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 24 ounces marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Arrange a layer of cooked noodles over the sauce.
- Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Top with half of the roasted vegetables.
- Spoon about one-third of the remaining marinara sauce over the vegetables.
- Repeat the layers: noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining roasted vegetables, and another layer of marinara sauce.
- Top with a final layer of noodles, the remaining marinara sauce, and a generous sprinkle of extra mozzarella cheese.
- Cover the dish with foil. Bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Roast your vegetables until tender and slightly caramelized for the best flavor.
- You can use store-bought roasted vegetables if you are short on time.
- For extra moisture, add a thin layer of spinach to one of the layers.
