A layered pasta dish filled with sautéed vegetables and rich ricotta cheese
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup bell peppers
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 8 lasagna noodles
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup zucchini
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 small onion
- 1 cup eggplant
- 1 cup basil
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Step 2: Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Step 3: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Step 4: Add zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
- Step 5: Stir in marinara sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let sauce simmer while you prepare the cheese mixture.
- Step 6: In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Step 7: Spread a layer of the marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange 4 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce.
- Step 8: Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the sautéed vegetables.
- Step 9: Repeat the layers, starting with the noodles, then the marinara sauce, the remaining ricotta cheese mixture, and finally the remaining vegetables.
- Step 10: Top the final layer of vegetables with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Step 11: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Step 12: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
