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

  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Step 2: Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  8. Step 8: Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the sautéed vegetables.
  9. Step 9: Repeat the layers, starting with the noodles, then the marinara sauce, the remaining ricotta cheese mixture, and finally the remaining vegetables.
  10. Step 10: Top the final layer of vegetables with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
  11. Step 11: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  12. Step 12: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
