Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
-
Mix Carrots and Oregano: In a bowl, mix together the grated carrots, oregano, and spaghetti sauce until well combined.
-
Prepare Ricotta Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, thawed and drained chopped spinach, and beaten egg. Mix until smooth and creamy.
-
Layering: Spread ½ cup of the prepared spaghetti sauce evenly on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish, ensuring it covers the surface.
-
Assemble the Layers: Begin layering the lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, followed by half of the remaining spaghetti sauce, half of the ricotta mixture, half of the sliced zucchini, half of the sliced mushrooms, half of the shredded mozzarella cheese, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
-
Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients, ensuring each layer is evenly distributed.
-
Bake: Once all the layers are assembled, cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the lasagna is hot and bubbly, and the cheese is melted and golden brown on top.
-
Serve: Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, then slice and serve hot.
