Equipment

Ingredients

12 lasagna noodles
2 jars pasta sauce 32 oz each
1 lb ricotta cheese
2 eggs
2 cups shredded cheese preferably mozzarella
3 large green bell peppers
2 small onions
5 garlic cloves
1 tbsp oil
1/4 tsp Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Place lasagna noodles in a 13x9 baking dish and pour hot tap water over them until submerged. Let them soak for 20 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Peel and chop onions; set aside. Peel and mince garlic; set aside. Core and chop green peppers; set aside.
In a large frying pan, heat 1 tbsp of oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes.
Add green peppers to the pan with onions and cook, stirring periodically, for 5 more minutes.
Add garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp pepper. Stir for 30 seconds, then taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Stir in pasta sauce and remove from heat.
In a bowl, mix ricotta with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add eggs and combine well with a fork.
Drain the lasagna noodles and remove from the baking dish. Pour 1/4 of the vegetable sauce into the dish.
Layer 4 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, then spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Pour another 1/4 of the vegetable sauce on top.
Repeat with another layer of noodles, remaining ricotta, and another 1/4 of the sauce. Top with the last layer of noodles and remaining sauce. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.
Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes, until bubbly and cheese is melted.

Notes

This no-boil noodle method saves time! Soaking the noodles makes them perfectly tender without boiling.
