Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 48 ounces marinara sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 pinches crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 5 ounces baby spinach, coarsely chopped

  • 9 oven ready (no boil) lasagna noodles
  • 16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (about 4 cups)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Chopped fresh basil or parsley, optional, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and zucchini and cook for 7-8 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
  4. Stir in marinara sauce, dried Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and chopped parsley. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, then add spinach.
  5. Beat the egg lightly and mix with ricotta cheese.
  6. Spoon 1 cup of sauce into a 9×13-inch baking dish and arrange 3 lasagna noodles over it.
  7. Spread one-third of the remaining sauce over noodles, dot with half of the ricotta mixture, and sprinkle with one-third of the mozzarella and Parmesan.
  8. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients, finishing with noodles, sauce, and cheeses on top.
  9. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes.
  10. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor. You can customize with other veggies. Letting the lasagna rest longer helps for cleaner slices.
