Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 medium zucchini, chopped
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 large egg
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
10 lasagna noodles
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and Parmesan cheese.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Arrange 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
Top with one-third of the vegetable mixture.
Spoon about one-third of the remaining marinara sauce over the vegetables.
Sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Repeat layers: 3 noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, half of the remaining vegetables, half of the remaining marinara sauce, and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Top with the final 3 noodles, remaining vegetables, remaining marinara sauce, and remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Cover the baking dish with foil.
Bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can roast the vegetables before adding them to the lasagna.
Ensure your lasagna noodles are cooked according to package directions if not using no-boil noodles.
