  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups béchamel sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your 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; stir in Italian seasoning along with salt and pepper. Cook until tender (5–7 minutes).
  5. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese with one cup of mozzarella and half a cup of Parmesan until well combined.
  6. In a baking dish, start layering: spread some béchamel sauce at the bottom, add three noodles, half the ricotta mixture, half the sautéed veggies, and one-third of the remaining béchamel.
  7. Repeat layering with three more noodles followed by the rest of the ricotta mixture, remaining veggies, and another third of béchamel.
  8. Top with the last three noodles and spread any remaining béchamel sauce; sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan.
  9. Cover with foil and bake for about 30 minutes; remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
