Ingredients
Scale
1 pound lasagna noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large zucchini, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 egg
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add zucchini, bell peppers, and onion. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and Parmesan cheese.
Spread a thin layer of the tomato-vegetable sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Layer with noodles, ricotta mixture, and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers, ending with a layer of sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
You can add other vegetables like mushrooms or eggplant.
For a richer flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
