In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the sautéed vegetables. Add a layer of marinara sauce. Repeat the layers (noodles, cheese, vegetables, sauce).

Bake the Lasagna
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
