Lasagna Primavera

• 1 cup Chopped Carrots
• 2 cups Chopped Broccoli
• 2- 1/2 cups Chopped Zucchini (about 3 Medium Zucchini)
• 2 cups Chopped Squash (about 2 Medium)
• 3 cups Ricotta Cheese
• 20 ounces, weight Frozen, Chopped Spinach, Thawed And Drained Well
• 24 ounces, fluid Pasta/marinara Sauce (or Use Homeade)
• 12 whole No-boil Lasagna Noodles Or 12 Regular Lasagna Noodles, Boiled And Drained
• 16 ounces, weight Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded
• 6 ounces, weight Parmesan Cheese, Shredded
• Salt To Taste

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Combine all the chopped vegetables (carrots, broccoli, zucchini, squash) with 1/2 teaspoon salt and steam briefly, for 2-3 minutes, to soften them just a bit (theyll finish cooking in the oven after the lasagna is assembled).
3. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, spinach and a bit more salt.
4. Mix well.
5. Lightly grease a 9X13-inch pan.
6. Spoon about 3/4 cup of the pasta/marinara sauce onto the bottom of the pan and spread around.
7. It will be a thin layer.
8. Cover with four no-boil lasagna noodles, overlapping slightly.
9. Spoon on 1/3 of the lightly steamed vegetables and spread evenly.
10. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the vegetables then sprinkle with 1/3 of the mozzarella and 1/4 of the Parmesan cheese.
11. Pour 1/3 of the remaining sauce over the cheese, lightly spreading it to the edges.
12. Repeat the layers (noodles, vegetables, ricotta, mozzarella/parm, sauce) two more times, ending with the last of the sauce.
13. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top.
14. This lasagna will be piled high above the rim of your 9X13-inch pan, but it will settle as it bakes.
15. Cover the lasagna with a sheet of lightly greased foil and place the 9X13-inch pan on a large baking sheet lined with foil (this is important since the lasagna will bubble and spit over the edge a bit as it bakes).
16. Bake, covered, for 50 minutes.
17. Uncover and bake 10 minutes longer.
18. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
