Ingredients

• 2 medium (sliced into 1/4 inch rounds) Zucchini
• 1 large (cut into 1-inch cubes) Eggplant
• 2 (cut into 1-inch squares) Red Bell Pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 375 grams Ricotta Cheese
• 250 grams (thawed and squeezed dry) Frozen Spinach
• 50 grams (grated) Parmesan Cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dried Basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
• 12 (no-boil lasagne sheets preferred) Lasagne Sheets
• 700 grams Marinara Sauce
• 250 grams (shredded) Mozzarella Cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Place the zucchini, eggplant, and red bell pepper on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat.

Step 3

Roast the vegetables in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 4

While the vegetables are roasting, mix the ricotta cheese, thawed spinach, grated Parmesan, dried basil, and dried oregano in a bowl. Set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F).

Step 6

Spread 1/4 of the marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch (or similar) baking dish.

Step 7

Place a layer of lasagne sheets over the sauce, breaking them to fit if necessary.

Step 8

Spread 1/3 of the ricotta and spinach mixture over the lasagne sheets, followed by 1/3 of the roasted vegetables, and then another 1/4 of the marinara sauce.

Step 9

Repeat the layering process (lasagne sheets, ricotta mixture, roasted vegetables, marinara sauce) two more times.

Step 10

Finish with a final layer of lasagne sheets, the remaining marinara sauce, and the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly sprinkled on top.

Step 11

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, ensuring it does not touch the cheese.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbling.

Step 13

Remove the lasagne from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
