Layer the Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread 1 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom. Place 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the vegetable filling over the noodles, followed by half of the ricotta cheese mixture, and then 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers: 3 noodles, remaining vegetable filling, remaining ricotta mixture, and 1 cup of mozzarella. Finish with the last 3 noodles, remaining marinara sauce, and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
