Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Zucchini
- 1 large Eggplant
- 6 cups Spinach
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Grated parmesan cheese
- 3 cups Marinara sauce
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the zucchini and eggplant lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Place the zucchini and eggplant slices on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until tender, flipping halfway through.
While the vegetables roast, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Mince the garlic and sauté it in the skillet for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Mix well.
Lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Layer the roasted zucchini slices over the sauce to form the first layer.
Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the zucchini, followed by a layer of roasted eggplant slices.
Add a layer of marinara sauce, sprinkle 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese, and repeat the layering process (zucchini, ricotta mixture, eggplant, marinara, mozzarella) until you've used all ingredients, finishing with a layer of mozzarella on top.
Sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese over the top layer.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
