Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss all the vegetables (except for the spinach) with olive oil and your seasonings. Roast them in the oven for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through. Stir in the spinach during the last minute to wilt it slightly.
- For the white sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until it turns golden.
- Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens. Stir in the salt, pepper, nutmeg, and Parmesan cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with the egg, the remaining Parmesan cheese, dried basil, and garlic powder until you achieve a smooth and creamy filling.
Assembly and Baking
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F. Spread 1 cup of the white sauce in the bottom of your baking dish.
- Layer the ingredients in the following order: lasagna noodles, ⅓ of the ricotta mixture, ⅓ of the roasted vegetables, a layer of the white sauce, and a sprinkling of mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat these layers two more times, finishing with a layer of sauce and cheese on top.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. After that, uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing to allow the layers to set.
Notes
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley. Pairs well with a salad or garlic bread. Can store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
