Vegetable Lasagna
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 yellow squash, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, diced red bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Season with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
- Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta cheese over the noodles, then half of the vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers, ending with the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
