Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Cook the gluten-free lasagna noodles according to the package instructions, then set them aside on a clean kitchen towel to dry.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini, eggplant, and red bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until tender, then set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, egg, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of the dish.
Layer 3-4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, covering the bottom of the dish.
Spread a third of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, then add a layer of sautΓ©ed vegetables. Top with 1 cup of marinara sauce.
Repeat this layering process (noodles, ricotta mixture, vegetables, sauce) two more times, ending with a final layer of marinara sauce on top.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Allow the lasagne to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with extra basil if desired.
