Serves:
Ingredients
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow squash, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
-
In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
-
Add sliced zucchini, yellow squash, bell pepper, and red onion to the skillet. Season with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
-
In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top, slightly overlapping.
-
Spread half of the ricotta cheese over the noodles, followed by half of the cooked vegetables. Sprinkle with a third of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
-
Repeat the layers, starting with marinara sauce, noodles, ricotta cheese, vegetables, and cheeses.
-
Finish with a final layer of marinara sauce, remaining cheeses, and some fresh basil leaves.
-
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden on top.
-
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
