Vegetarian lasagna with a creamy Alfredo-pesto base layered with 4 roasted veggies and a trio of cheeses.
Ingredients:
  • 2 zucchini, sliced lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch squares
  • 2 cups bite-sized broccoli pieces
  • 1.5 cups bite-sized baby carrot pieces
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, or more to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 6 lasagna noodles, or more as needed
  • 1 cup Alfredo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons pesto, or more to taste
  • 1 (16 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.33333334326744 (6 ounce) package fresh spinach
  • 1 (16 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and prepare a large baking sheet by greasing or lining it with parchment paper.
  • Spread zucchini, bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots evenly on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat everything evenly.
  • Roast vegetables in a preheated oven until beautifully golden for about 40 minutes.
  • 1. Boil a large pot of salted water. Add lasagna noodles and cook until al dente, approximately 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish with a single layer of lasagna noodles.
  • Coat the roasted vegetables with Alfredo sauce and pesto until thoroughly mixed. Spread the veggie mixture over the noodles in the dish and top with another layer of noodles.
  • Combine creamy ricotta cheese, 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and fresh spinach in a bowl, then generously spread over the noodles. Evenly scatter gooey mozzarella cheese on top. Finish by sprinkling the final 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and a touch of aromatic oregano for extra flavor.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese is melted, about 30-35 minutes. For a golden brown top, broil for 1-2 minutes.
