Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Lasagna noodles
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Frozen sweet peas
- 2 cups Marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 2 cups Ricotta cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 3 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 cups Marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the sweet peas and chopped artichoke hearts. Cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Layer 3-4 lasagna noodles over the marinara sauce, overlapping slightly if needed.
Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles. Top with 1/3 of the sweet pea and artichoke mixture. Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layers (marinara, noodles, ricotta, veggies, mozzarella) two more times, finishing with a layer of marinara sauce on top.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan and 1 cup mozzarella cheese evenly over the top layer of marinara.
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, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
Allow the lasagna to cool for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh basil before serving.
