This colorful, hearty Vegetable Lasagna is a delightful twist on a classic Italian dish that will bring warmth and comfort to your family dinner tonight!
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will be the perfect temperature for baking our lasagna.
In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion, and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Add 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 diced bell pepper, 1 sliced zucchini, and 1 cup of sliced mushrooms to the pan, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in 2 cups of spinach, 400 grams of tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, 1 teaspoon of basil, and 1 teaspoon of oregano. Let this mixture simmer for about 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
While the sauce is simmering, prepare the cheese filling. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and some salt and pepper to taste.
Begin layering your lasagna in an oven-safe dish. Start with a layer of tomato sauce at the bottom, place 3 lasagna noodles over it, then spread half of the ricotta mixture on top of the noodles, followed by half of the vegetable mixture.
Repeat the layers by adding more sauce, noodles, the remaining ricotta, and the rest of the vegetables.
Finish with a final layer of noodles, cover with remaining tomato sauce, and sprinkle 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let the lasagna rest for about 10 minutes before slicing to allow it to set that will make serving easier.
