Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

For the Vegetable Filling

1 tablespoon Olive oil For sautéing
2 cloves Garlic Minced
1 cup Mushrooms Sliced
1 cup Zucchini Diced
1 cup Bell peppers Diced
2 cups Spinach Fresh
1 teaspoon Salt For seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Pepper For seasoning

For the Cheese Mixture

15 ounces Ricotta cheese Smooth and creamy
2 cups Mozzarella cheese Shredded
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese Grated

For the Lasagna

12 sheets Lasagna noodles Regular or no-boil
2 cups White sauce (béchamel) For layering

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, then add the mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers, and spinach. Cook until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese with salt and pepper to taste until smooth and creamy.

Layering

Start layering in a baking dish: place a layer of lasagna noodles, then spread a layer of white sauce, followed by the ricotta mixture, the sautéed veggies, and a sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, making sure to finish with a generous layer of mozzarella on top.

Baking

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the lasagna is bubbly and golden.
Let it sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the layers to firm up.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like basil or oregano to the vegetable sauté. Use whole-grain lasagna noodles for a healthier twist. Experiment with different vegetables based on seasonal availability! Asparagus, kale, or even roasted eggplant can add delightful flavors.
