Ingredients
  

  • 12 pieces Lasagna noodles Standard or oven-ready
  • 4 cups Marinara tomato sauce Store-bought or homemade
  • 3 cups Mozzarella cheese Freshly shredded
  • 15 oz Ricotta cheese Whole milk preferred
  • 2 whole Zucchini Medium, diced
  • 2 whole Bell peppers Any color, diced
  • 5 oz Baby spinach Fresh, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley Finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil For sauteing vegetables
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Boil the lasagna noodles according to package directions, drain, and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced zucchini, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Saute for 5-7 minutes until tender. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for 2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with the finely chopped fresh parsley.
  • Spread 1 cup of marinara tomato sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place 3 to 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread a third of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, top with a third of the vegetable mixture, and sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
  • Repeat the layers two more times, finishing with a final layer of noodles, the remaining marinara sauce, and the last of the mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  • Let the dish rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
