Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ cups chopped yellow onion
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, chopped
  • 2 medium zucchini, chopped into ½-inch pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 48 ounces marinara sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 pinches crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 5 ounces baby spinach, coarsely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese (8 ounces)
  • 9 oven-ready (no-boil) lasagna noodles
  • 16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (about 4 cups)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Chopped fresh basil or parsley, optional, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375° F.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and zucchini; cook for 7-8 minutes until softened.
  3. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Stir in marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and chopped parsley; bring to simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to low and let cook for 10-15 minutes, then add chopped spinach and stir until wilted.
  5. In a medium bowl, beat the egg lightly, then mix in ricotta until combined.
  6. Spoon about 1 cup of sauce into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Arrange 3 lasagna noodles over it, spread one-third of sauce, half of the ricotta mixture, and one-third of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  7. Repeat layering with another 3 noodles, half of the remaining sauce, the rest of the ricotta mixture, and half of the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
  8. Finish with last 3 noodles, topping them with remaining sauce and the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  9. Cover with foil (sprayed on underside) and bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is browned.
  10. Allow lasagna to rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, add a sprinkle of your favorite cheese on top before the final bake. Customize with other vegetables or protein if desired.
