  • Layer cooked lasagna noodles evenly over the sauce.
  • Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles evenly.
  • Layer on zucchini, bell pepper, and spinach evenly over the ricotta mixture.
  • Pour marinara sauce over the veggies and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients, finishing with a layer of noodles, marinara sauce, and mozzarella.

  • Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.
  • Allow the lasagna to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, let the ricotta mixture blend well for a creamy consistency. Avoid overfilling layers to prevent sogginess.
