Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced lengthwise (these will act as your lasagna noodles)
- 1 medium eggplant, thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup spinach leaves
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent.
- Add the sliced mushrooms, bell pepper, and spinach leaves to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, and dried oregano. Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- While the sauce is simmering, prepare your “noodles.” Lay out the thinly sliced zucchini and eggplant on a paper towel-lined surface to absorb excess moisture.
- In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of the vegetable sauce on the bottom.
- Arrange a layer of zucchini and eggplant slices on top of the sauce.
- Continue layering with the vegetable sauce and “noodles” until you’ve used up all your ingredients, finishing with a layer of sauce on top.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
