How To Make Vegetable Lasagna Recipe?

1. Prepare the Veggies: Heat 30ml olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 chopped carrots about 150g, 1 chopped red bell pepper, 1 chopped zucchini, and 1 chopped yellow onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-12 minutes, until the veggies are golden at the edges.
2. Wilt the Spinach: Add 140g baby spinach in batches, stirring until each batch wilts. This should take about 3 minutes for all the spinach to cook down.
3. Prepare the Tomato Sauce: Drain 800g can of diced tomatoes and transfer to a food processor. Add ¼ cup fresh basil, 30ml olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp red pepper flakes. Pulse about 10 times until smooth. Set aside.
4. Blend Cottage Cheese: Add 480g low-fat cottage cheese into the food processor and blend until smooth. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
5. Combine Veggies and Cottage Cheese: Add the cooked veggie-spinach mixture into the food processor and pulse 5-7 times until finely chopped. Mix it with the blended cottage cheese. Season with ¼-½ tsp salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
6. Assemble the Lasagna: Preheat the oven to 220°C. Spread 120g (½ cup) tomato sauce in the bottom of a 23cm x 23cm baking dish. Layer 3 no-boil lasagna noodles, followed by half the cottage cheese mixture. Top with 180g tomato sauce and 60g shredded mozzarella. Repeat the layers with remaining noodles, cottage cheese, and mozzarella.
7. Bake the Lasagna: Cover with parchment or foil, making sure it doesn’t touch the cheese. Bake for 18 minutes, then remove the cover, rotate the dish, and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the top is golden.
8. Cool and Serve: Let the lasagna cool for 15-20 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil and slice to serve.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Fresh Veggies: Fresh, in-season veggies will give your lasagna more flavor and a better texture.
• Don’t Skip the Draining Step: Make sure to drain the diced tomatoes before blending to avoid watery sauce.
• Layer Properly: Make sure each layer is even for better cooking and a more delicious result.
• Let It Rest: Allow the lasagna to cool for 15-20 minutes before slicing so the layers set properly.
• Use No-Boil Noodles: These save time and hold up better than regular noodles, especially in a veggie-packed lasagna.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the lasagna cool to room temperature, then put it in an airtight container. Store in the fridge for 4 days.
• Freeze: After cooling, wrap the lasagna tightly and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Heat in a covered pan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until hot.
