Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat a splash of olive oil in a skillet, then add sliced bell peppers and spinach. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until tender.
  3. In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and half of the Parmesan cheese and mix until smooth.
  4. Layer the baking dish with a thin layer of ricotta mixture, followed by zucchini slices, sautéed veggies, more ricotta, and mozzarella. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
  5. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  6. Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before slicing for clean cuts.
  7. Serve warm, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs.
