Equipment
* 9x13 inch baking dish
* Large skillet
Instructions
* Make the vegetable filling:
* Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
* Add garlic, bell pepper, and zucchini. Cook until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
* Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
* Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
* Make the cheese filling:
* In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
* Assemble the lasagna:
* Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
* Spread a thin layer of vegetable sauce in the bottom of the baking dish.
* Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce, slightly overlapping if necessary.
* Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the vegetable sauce and 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
* Repeat layers: noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining vegetable sauce, and 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
* Top with a final layer of noodles and the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
* Bake:
* Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
* Remove foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
* Let rest:
* Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Tips:
* You can add other vegetables to the filling, such as spinach, carrots, or eggplant.
* For a richer flavor, use whole milk ricotta cheese.
* If you don't have no-boil noodles, cook regular lasagna noodles according to package directions before assembling the lasagna.
* To prevent the lasagna from sticking to the dish, you can spray the baking dish with cooking spray or lightly grease it.
* Leftover lasagna can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
