Step-by-Step Instructions for Vegetarian Lasagna with Ricotta
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the lasagna noodles in a pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse briefly under cold water.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Stir well to create a filling.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Arrange three lasagna noodles over the marinara sauce in the baking dish, slightly overlapping.
- Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
- Sprinkle half of the zucchini, mushrooms, and bell peppers over the ricotta layer, followed by another layer of marinara sauce.
- Repeat the layering process with three more noodles, another spread of the ricotta mixture, and the remaining vegetables, topped with marinara sauce.
- Lay the last three noodles on top, and pour the remaining marinara sauce over them, spreading evenly.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the lasagna.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top is bubbling and golden brown.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
