Ingredients:
- 12 whole wheat lasagna noodles
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 2 cups ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese for a lighter option)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups spinach, chopped
- 1 zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 yellow squash, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the Veggies: In a large skillet, sauté the onion, garlic, zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper until tender. Season with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the Lasagna: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer with lasagna noodles, ricotta cheese, sautéed vegetables, spinach, and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers until you’ve used up all ingredients, finishing with a layer of marinara and mozzarella on top.
- Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh basil if desired. Slice and serve warm.
