For the Alfredo Sauce:
8 ounces butter
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
White pepper to taste (freshly ground)
1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese (fresh grated)
For the Ricotta Mixture:
2 cups ricotta cheese
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
2 tablespoons green onions (sliced)
2 teaspoons fresh parsley (chopped)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/4 cups Alfredo sauce (prepared)
For the Vegetables:
4 cups mushrooms (sliced)
2 cups carrots (chopped)
1 cup onion (chopped)
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups bell peppers (red, chopped or sliced)
1 cup bell pepper (green, chopped or sliced)
2 cups zucchini (sliced)
4 cups broccoli (florets)
12 to 15 lasagna noodles (see the first paragraph of the instructions)
18 slices mozzarella

Steps:

  • Lay out enough dry lasagna noodles in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan to ensure you have enough to make 3 full layers, with very little overlap on each layer. Remove the dry strips and cook according to package instructions until just tender; drain.
  • Alfredo Sauce - Heat water to a boil in the bottom of a double boiler . Add butter, cream, and pepper to the top pan and place over the simmering water until butter is completely melted; stir in Parmesan until melted and blended in. Turn off heat and remove top pan; set aside to cool. Measure 1 1/4 cups of the sauce; set aside. Put the remaining sauce in a container and keep refrigerated until close to serving time.
  • Ricotta Filling - In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella, 2 tablespoons green onions, 2 teaspoons of chopped parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon each basil and oregano, and 1 1/4 cups of cooled prepared Alfredo sauce. Blend well. Set aside.
  • Heat the oven to 375 F.
  • Vegetables - In a heavy skillet, sauté mushrooms, carrots, and 1 cup of chopped onions in 1 tablespoon butter until just tender-about 8 to 10 minutes. Add red and green bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli; toss to mix well.
  • Assembly - Grease bottom and sides of a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking dish. Lay out 4 cooked lasagna strips to cover the entire bottom of the baking pan. Spread 1 1/4 cups of the ricotta mixture evenly over the strips. Top with half of the vegetable mixture and spread out evenly. Cover the vegetable layer with 9 slices of mozzarella cheese. Repeat this layering. Top the second layer of mozzarella slices with lasagna strips and spread them evenly with 1 1/4 cups ricotta cheese mixture to finish.
  • Grease or spray a sheet of foil with vegetable spray and cover the baking dish tightly with the foil sprayed side down.
  • Bake the lasagna for about an hour, or until the internal temp registers 165 F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes, covered, before cutting and serving.
  • Heat reserved Alfredo sauce and spoon a little over each serving.
