Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the tomato sauce

In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add 1 chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add 2 cups of chopped tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes are soft. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let the sauce cool before using.

Step 2: Prepare the white sauce

In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually add 2 cups of milk and whisk until the sauce is smooth. Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let the sauce cool before using.

Step 3: Prepare the vegetables

Chop 1 cup of vegetables of your choice (carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini). Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan. Add the chopped vegetables and sauté until they are cooked. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let the vegetables cool before using.

Step 4: Cook the lasagna sheets

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the lasagna sheets and cook for 8-10 minutes or until they are al dente. Drain the lasagna sheets and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.

Step 5: Assemble the lasagna

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread a layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of the dish. Place a layer of lasagna sheets on top of the sauce. Spread a layer of white sauce on top of the lasagna sheets. Add a layer of sautéed vegetables on top of the white sauce. Sprinkle some grated mozzarella cheese on top of the vegetables. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used up. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 6: Bake the lasagna

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake the lasagna for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.

Step 7: Serve

Let the lasagna cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve with a side salad or garlic bread.
