02 - 1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed and halved
03 - 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
04 - 1 cup zucchini, diced
05 - 1 cup carrots, julienned or shredded
06 - 3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed

11 - 9 no-boil lasagna noodles

→ Aromatics & Seasonings

12 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
13 - 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
14 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
15 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
16 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
17 - 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add asparagus, snap peas, zucchini, and carrots. Cook for 4–5 minutes until slightly tender. Stir in spinach and peas; cook for 1 minute. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Remove from heat and stir in fresh basil.
03 - In a small bowl, combine ricotta cheese with half of the Parmesan cheese.
04 - Spread 1/2 cup of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
05 - Layer 3 no-boil noodles over the sauce. Top with 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, 1/3 of the vegetable mixture, 1/3 cup mozzarella, and 2/3 cup Alfredo sauce. Repeat layers twice more, finishing with remaining noodles, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.
06 - Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
07 - Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with extra basil and serve.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The vegetables stay vibrant instead of mushy because they are briefly cooked first
  • No-boil noodles mean less fuss and they absorb extra sauce beautifully
  • Leftovers reheat surprisingly well for lunch the next day
02 -
  • The no-boil noodles need that 10 minute rest period to absorb moisture and finish cooking through
  • Vegetables release water as they bake, so do not worry if the sauce looks thinner than traditional lasagna at first
  • Putting foil directly on the cheese can make it stick, so leave a little space or use parchment paper between foil and cheese
03 -
  • A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the vegetables before layering brightens everything surprisingly
  • Letting the ricotta come to room temperature prevents those frustrating clumps when spreading
