Description

A delicious vegetable lasagna filled with zucchini, bell peppers, and ricotta cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small zucchini (5 oz), cut into 1 to 1 ½-inch pieces
  • 1 small red bell pepper (4 oz), cut into 1 to 1 ½-inch pieces
  • ½ cup thickly chopped onions (¼ of a small yellow onion)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 lasagna noodles
  • ¾ cup tomato sauce (divided)
  • ¾ cup ricotta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (divided)
  • ½ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 425° F (220° C).
  2. Place the chopped zucchini, red peppers, and onions on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat.
  3. Roast the vegetables for 25 minutes.
  4. While roasting, bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles for 6–8 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking. Drain and set aside.
  5. Transfer roasted vegetables to a bowl and stir in ½ cup tomato sauce.
  6. In a small bowl, mix ricotta with 2 tablespoons Parmesan.
  7. Spread 2–3 tablespoons tomato sauce in the bottom of a lightly greased small baking dish. Line with noodles, letting them hang over the sides.
  8. Add the vegetable mixture over the noodles.
  9. Spoon ricotta mixture on top, then sprinkle with half the mozzarella.
  10. Fold the noodles over the filling.
  11. Top with the remaining tomato sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Place the dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch spills.
  12. Bake for 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. Remove from oven, cover, and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Tip: Cut vegetables into 1 to 1 ½-inch pieces so they cook evenly. Smaller pieces may burn, while larger ones may not cook through.
