Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 9 Lasagne Sheets
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 medium Red Bell Pepper
- 1 medium Eggplant
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1.5 cups Ricotta Cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
- 4 cups Fresh Spinach
- 3 cups Tomato Sauce
- 0.25 cup Fresh Basil, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the zucchini, red bell pepper, and eggplant into thin strips.
In a large baking sheet, toss the sliced vegetables with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them evenly on the sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the pasta sheets according to the package instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, half of the Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic. Mix well and set aside.
Once the vegetables are done roasting, lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom.
Lay three lasagne sheets over the sauce, followed by a layer of roasted vegetables, a handful of spinach, and a layer of the ricotta mixture.
Drizzle more tomato sauce on top, sprinkle with some mozzarella cheese, and repeat the layering process twice more, finishing with a layer of sauce and remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and chopped basil over the top layer.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
Allow the lasagne to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
