Instructions

Roasted Vegetables

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  • Place prepped vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet and toss with oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 20-45 minutes, or until the veggies are cooked to your liking, stirring halfway through.
  • Drain the veggies and keep them in a colander while you’re assembling the lasagna (this removes excess moisture).

Filling

  • Place cottage cheese, 8 oz mozzarella, 1/2 cup parmesan, Italian seasoning, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and eggs into a food processor.
  • Process until combined. It's okay if it's still a little chunky. Set aside.

Assembling and Baking

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a deep 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Spread 1 cup marinara sauce into the bottom of the dish.
  • To assemble: repeat the below steps (steps 4-8) 4 times.
  • Arrange 4 noodles lengthwise over sauce.
  • Spread with 1/4th of the cottage cheese mixture.
  • Top with 1/4th of the veggies.
  • Drizzle on (approx.) 1/2 jar pasta sauce.
  • Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese.
  • Once the layers are complete, top with remaining 8 oz mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, for 40 minutes.
  • Cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving!
