01 - 2 cups asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
02 - 1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed and halved
03 - 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
04 - 1 cup zucchini, diced
05 - 1 cup carrots, julienned or shredded
06 - 3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed

→ Cheeses

07 - 2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
08 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
09 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

→ Sauce

10 - 3 cups light Alfredo sauce

→ Pasta

11 - 9 no-boil lasagna noodles

→ Aromatics and Seasonings

12 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
13 - 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
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

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with oil or cooking spray.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add asparagus, snap peas, zucchini, and carrots. Cook for 4-5 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 and mix until well blended.
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, and 2/3 cup Alfredo sauce. Repeat layers 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 -
  • The vegetables stay vibrant and slightly crisp, not mushy like so many vegetable lasagnas
  • No-boil noodles mean you can assemble this in under 30 minutes on a weeknight
  • The light Alfredo sauce feels indulgent without the heavy cream hangover
02 -
  • Do not overcook the vegetables during the sauté step since they will continue cooking in the oven
  • The no-boil noodles need to be completely covered by sauce or they will stay crunchy in spots
  • Letting the lasagna rest is not optional if you want neat slices instead of a sloppy mess
03 -
  • Grate your own Parmesan instead of buying pre-grated for better melting and flavor
  • Use a vegetable peeler to create long, elegant ribbons of carrot instead of julienned strips
