• Spoon sauce all over, add shredded cheese and slices of fresh mozzarella, chopped parsley and pine nuts.
• Drizzle with olive oil and place foil over pan.

VEGETABLE LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sweet potato, bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, dried basil, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Cook until the vegetables are tender and begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
• Add the tomato sauce and balsamic to the vegetables. Stir to combine then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl add the ricotta, 1/4 cup Parmesan, egg, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well, until the mixture is evenly combined.
• Stir in the spinach, using a fork to break it up and distribute it as evenly with the ricotta mixture as possible.
• Spread a thin layer of the vegetable tomato sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish in an even layer. Arrange 3 lasagna noodles on top, breaking the ends if needed so that they fit. Leave some space around the noodles, as they will expand as they cook.
• Top the noodles with 1/3 of the remaining sauce, half of the ricotta mixture, the next 1/3 portion of the sauce, and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella.
• Top with 3 more noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, and 1/2 cup mozzarella (no tomato sauce in this layer).
• Top the cheese with the 3 final noodles. Spread the remaining sauce over the top.
• Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese and remaining ¼ cup Parmesan.
• Cover the lasagna with foil (be careful not to let the foil touch the top of the cheese or it will stick-I like to stick a few toothpicks in the top of the lasagna so that they are poking up and keep the foil off of the cheese). Bake it covered for 25 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, uncover, and rotate the pan by 180. Continue cooking uncovered for 15 to 20 more minutes, until it is hot and bubbly and the cheese is beginning to have brown spots.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes to set. Sprinkle with fresh basil, then slice and serve.

VEGETABLE LASAGNA WITHOUT THE LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Sprinkle both sides of the peeled egg plant slices with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
• Place strips of egg plant and the chopped onions on a non stick baking sheet, in a single layer, and bake for 5 to 7 minutes; turn the strips over and bake a little longer until the eggplant is slightly soft. You should still be able to lift the slices but they should be soft. Stir up the onions; they should be translucent. If one is done before the other, take it out of the oven until both are cooked.
• Mix together the ricotta, egg white, green onion and remaining salt and pepper.
• Spread 1 1/2 cups of tomato sauce on the bottom of a 9x13" oven proof casserole.

THE EASIEST HOMEMADE LASAGNA EVER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine spaghetti sauce and water together.
• Combine mozzarella and Parmesan together in a large bowl. Remove 1.5 cups of cheese and reserve for topping the lasagna.
• To the bowl of cheese add spinach, ricotta, pesto, garlic, oregano, and egg, along with a few pinches of salt and pepper.
• Mix until well combined.
• Pour 1 cup sauce/water mixture into a 9x13 baking dish and spread across the bottom. Layer 5 noodles, slightly overlapping to cover the bottom of the pan. I like to do four noodles the long way, and then break off the end of a noodle to fit it widthwise and cover the rest.
• Layer 1/2 of the ricotta mixture in an even layer on top of the noodles. Then drizzle a 1/2 cup of sauce on top of that.
• Then layer another 5 noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, and another 1/2 cup sauce.
• Lastly, layer 5 noodles and the remaining sauce. Then sprinkle with reserved cheese.
• Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for 50 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes or until the noodles are al dente and sauce is bubbling. Broil for 1 minute on high, just until the cheese starts to turn golden brown.
• Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley and serve with extra sauce on the side if desired.
