12 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
13 - 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped, plus extra for garnish
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, optional

# How-To 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 minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add asparagus, sugar snap peas, zucchini, and carrots. Cook for 4 to 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 cheese, and 2/3 cup Alfredo sauce. Repeat this layering sequence twice more, finishing with remaining noodles, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.
06 - Cover tightly with aluminum 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 Tips:

01 -
  • Fresh and Seasonal: Packed with six different spring vegetables for a nutrient-dense meal.
  • Easy Preparation: No-boil noodles and a light Alfredo sauce streamline the assembly process.
  • Perfectly Balanced: Offers a satisfying 19g of protein per serving while remaining lighter than traditional meat-based lasagnas.
02 -
  • Resting Time: Do not skip the 10-minute resting period after baking; it allows the layers to set, making it much easier to cut clean, beautiful slices.
  • Vegetable Prep: Sauté the vegetables just until they are slightly tender; they will finish cooking in the oven, and this prevents them from becoming too soft.
  • Noodle Coverage: When layering, ensure the Alfredo sauce reaches the edges of the no-boil noodles to ensure they cook evenly.
