Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. Drain and lay flat on parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until onion is translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add chopped zucchini, red and yellow bell peppers, and sliced mushrooms. Stir and cook until vegetables are tender, about 5–7 minutes.
- Stir in fresh spinach until wilted, about 1–2 minutes, then pour in marinara sauce along with dried basil and oregano. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of vegetable sauce at the bottom. Layer 3 noodles, half of the ricotta mixture, and half of the vegetable mixture. Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
- Continue layers with 3 more noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, rest of vegetable sauce, and another cup of mozzarella.
- Top with a final set of noodles, spreading remaining vegetable sauce and sprinkle remaining mozzarella and grated Parmesan.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then remove foil and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes.
- Let lasagna rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
