Servings: 8

Ingredients

Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Marinara sauce (2 cups)
Fresh basil (1/2 cup, chopped)
Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup, grated)
Mozzarella cheese (2 cups, shredded)
Ricotta cheese (15 ounces)
Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
Onion (1 medium, chopped)
Yellow bell pepper (1, sliced)
Red bell pepper (1, sliced)
Zucchini (1, sliced)
Eggplant (1 medium, sliced)
Lasagna noodles (12 sheets, cooked according to package instructions)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a baking sheet, arrange the sliced eggplant, zucchini, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped basil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Layer 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, slightly overlapping them.
Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, then top with half of the roasted vegetables.
Repeat the layering process: add another layer of sauce, noodles, ricotta mixture, and roasted vegetables.
Finish with a final layer of noodles topped with the remaining marinara sauce.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese on top to create a golden crust.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the lasagna to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving to let the layers set.
