Ingredients

  • 1 medium red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 ½ c. colored bell peppers cut into thin strips (I used red, yellow, and green)
  • ½ medium eggplant peeled and diced
  • ½ large zucchini peeled and diced
  • ½ c. sliced mushrooms
  • 2 carrots peeled and diced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 6 ready to bake lasagna noodles
  • 1 ½ c. marinara sauce homemade is best!
  • 2 c. fresh spinach
  • 1 c. part skim ricotta cheese
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh basil chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 2 teaspoons fresh oregano chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 c. mozzarella cheese shredded
  • ½ c. shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Place 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetables and saute for 10 minutes,
    stirring occasionally, or until they have softened.
  • Stir in half the garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes. Remove vegetables from heat.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8 x 8 baking dish with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl combine half the garlic, the ricotta cheese, basil, rosemary, and oregano. Mix well. Stir in the beaten egg.
  • Spoon ¼ cup of marinara sauce onto the bottom
    of the baking dish. Layer 2 lasagna noodles on top then spread half of the ricotta mixture. Spread ¼ cup of sauce on top of the ricotta and then layer with half of the spinach and then half of the sauteed veggies. Sprinkle with ⅓ of the mozzarella cheese.
  • Repeat this process for the next layer. Top with 3 more lasagna noodles, the remaining mozzarella cheese, and the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake and additional 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes. Slice and enjoy.
