👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Roast the Vegetables

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Spread zucchini, squash, bell pepper, mushrooms, and onion on a baking sheet.
Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15–20 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.

2. Prepare the Ricotta Mixture

In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, egg, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

3. Assemble the Lasagna

Reduce oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spread ½ cup marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Layer with 3 noodles, half of the ricotta mixture, half of the roasted vegetables, 1 cup of marinara, and a sprinkle of mozzarella.
Repeat layers. Finish with the remaining noodles, marinara, and mozzarella cheese on top.

4. Bake

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

5. Rest & Serve

Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped basil or parsley for a fresh touch.

🌿 Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with garlic bread, a green salad, or roasted broccoli for a complete meal.

  • Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.

💡 Pro Tips

  1. Roast the veggies first — it prevents soggy lasagna layers.

  2. Use no-boil noodles to save time (just add a little extra sauce).

  3. For added creaminess, mix a little spinach or pesto into the ricotta layer.

  4. Make it ahead! Assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
