Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large pot, cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Add the chopped spinach, sliced mushrooms, diced zucchini, and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Season with dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Mix until well blended.
  • In the prepared baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom. Place four lasagna noodles over the sauce.
  • Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the vegetable mixture. Layer on a third of the remaining marinara sauce and sprinkle with a third of the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  • Repeat the layering process starting with another four lasagna noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, the rest of the vegetable mixture, another third of marinara sauce, and another third of mozzarella.
  • Top with the final four lasagna noodles, the last of the marinara sauce, mozzarella, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
