  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add garlic, zucchini, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
  5. Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
  7. Spread a thin layer of the vegetable sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  8. Arrange a layer of cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce.
  9. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
  10. Top with a layer of the vegetable sauce.
  11. Sprinkle with one cup of mozzarella cheese.
  12. Repeat the layers: noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining sauce, and remaining mozzarella cheese.
  13. Cover the baking dish with foil.
  14. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
  15. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
