Main Ingredients

  • 12 pieces lasagna noodles can use gluten-free option
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese or cashew ricotta for vegan
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese or vegan mozzarella
  • 1 cup béchamel sauce optional for extra creaminess
  • 2 cups spinach sautéed
  • 2 zucchini thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced

  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 jar tomato sauce 24 oz
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a pan, heat olive oil and sauté garlic, zucchini, mushrooms, eggplant, bell pepper, and spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of tomato sauce. Layer with noodles, vegetables, ricotta, and mozzarella. Repeat layers, finishing with noodles on top.
  • Add béchamel and remaining tomato sauce on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan or nutritional yeast.

Notes

For a vegan version, use cashew ricotta and vegan mozzarella. Pre-cooking the vegetables prevents excess moisture in the lasagna.
