Main Ingredients
  • 9-12 pieces lasagna noodles Use whole wheat for a healthier twist
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or your favorite cooking oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped adds a sweet base
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced because everything's better with garlic!
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced for that fresh, crisp flavor
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced choose red or yellow for sweetness
  • 2 cups spinach or kale substitute for a bolder flavor
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes nature's own marinara!
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning for that classic touch
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon pepper to taste
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese creamy goodness
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese the ooey-gooey star of the show
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese for a finishing touch

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant—about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Toss in the zucchini and bell pepper. Cook for another 4 minutes or until they begin to soften.
  4. Stir in the spinach or kale until wilted.
  5. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, followed by the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Gently mix and bring to a simmer.
  6. Break the lasagna noodles into pieces and add them to the pot. Give it a good mix to ensure everything is well combined.
  7. Add dollops of ricotta, then sprinkle half of the mozzarella and Parmesan evenly on top.
  8. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 20 minutes until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  9. Remove the lid, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top, and let it sit for 5 minutes uncovered so the cheese can melt beautifully.
  10. Give a gentle stir, serve warm, and relish the comforting goodness of your homemade One Pot Vegetable Lasagna.
