Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente, drain and set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, basil and ground black pepper. Stir to blend, set aside.

  3. Heat oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Saute onions for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, add carrot slices and saute about 2 minutes, then stir in green bell pepper and broccoli. Stir all together, reduce heat to medium and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Scrape veggies into ricotta mix and mix well.

  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  5. Ladle 1 cup of spaghetti sauce into a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread evenly over the bottom. Place 2 strips of lasagna lengthwise in the dish, then spread about 4 cups of the filling over the pasta. Sprinkle 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese over the filling, repeat layers.

  6. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour, let stand about 15 to 20 minutes, to firm up, before serving.
