Time 1h20m

Yield 1 9 x 13 inch pan, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

1/2 lb sweet butter (or 1/2 lb. salted butter)
12 ounces heavy cream
fresh ground white pepper
1 1/2 cups fresh parmesan cheese, grated
1 pint ricotta cheese
2 ounces romano cheese, grated
3 ounces 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, cooled
4 cups broccoli florets
2 cups carrots, sliced 1/4-inch
4 cups mushrooms, fresh, sliced 1/4-inch
2 cups red bell peppers, diced
1 cup green bell pepper, diced
1 cup yellow onion, diced
2 cups zucchini, sliced
1 (18 ounce) box lasagna noodles
18 slices mozzarella cheese, 1/2 oz. each

Steps:

  • Lay out enough dry lasagna strips in a 9 x 13-inch 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 barely "al dente" and drain.
  • ALFREDO SAUCE: Heat water to a boil in the bottom of a double boiler. Add butter, cream and pepper to the top pot and heat until butter is completely melted, then stir in Parmesan until melted and blended. Remove top pot and set aside to cool.
  • RICOTTA CHEESE MIX: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and blend thoroughly with a rubber spatula. Set aside at room temperature.
  • VEGETABLES: Combine all veggies and mix well.
  • ASSEMBLY: Coat the bottom and sides of a 9x13 baking dish with vegetable spray. Lay out cooked lasagna strips (about 4) to cover entire bottom. Spread 1 1/4 cup of the Ricotta mix evenly over the strips. Top with 8 cups of vegetable mix and spread out evenly. Lay out 9 of the mozzarella slices to cover the veggie layer. Repeat this layering. Top the second layer of mozzarella slices with lasagna strips and spread them evenly with 1-1/4 cup ricotta cheese mix to finish.
  • COOKING: Spray a sheet of foil with vegetable spray and cover the baking dish tightly with the foil, sprayed side down. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for about an hour or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for a few minutes, covered, before cutting and serving. Immediately prior to serving, heat the reserved portion of Alfredo Sauce and ladle the hot sauce over each slice of lasagna as it is served.

This lasagna was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would use less cheese next time.

I'm not a huge fan of lasagna, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The cheese and meat sauce were flavorful and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I would definitely make it again.

This lasagna was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices to the meat sauce next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my lasagna turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more salt to the meat sauce.

This lasagna is so cheesy and flavorful. The meat sauce is perfectly seasoned and the ricotta cheese filling is creamy and smooth. I will definitely be making this again.
