    • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
    • 1 small onion, diced
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced

    For the Ricotta Mixture:

    • 1 egg
    • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp black pepper
    • 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil or parsley (optional)

    For the Sauce:

    • 1 (24 oz) jar marinara sauce (or homemade)
    • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

    Other Ingredients:

    1. 12 lasagna noodles (regular or oven-ready)
    2. 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
    3. 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (for topping)
    4. 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil (for garnish)

Instructions

1️⃣ Roast the Vegetables:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss zucchini, squash, bell pepper, mushrooms, onion, and garlic with olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.

2️⃣ Prepare the Ricotta Mixture:
In a bowl, mix ricotta, egg, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and basil. Set aside.

3️⃣ Cook the Noodles:
Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. (Skip this step if using oven-ready noodles.)

4️⃣ Assemble the Lasagna:
Spread 1/2 cup marinara sauce at the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer 3-4 noodles over the sauce. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Add 1/3 of the roasted veggies and 1/2 cup marinara sauce. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup mozzarella. Repeat layers twice more, finishing with noodles, sauce, and the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan on top.

5️⃣ Bake the Lasagna:
Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 15 more minutes, until golden and bubbly. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

6️⃣ Garnish & Serve:
Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve hot!

Notes

  • If using regular noodles, make sure to cook them before assembling the lasagna.
  • You can use any combination of veggies you prefer, or even add spinach for a green touch!
