- Stir in the crushed tomatoes and cook until the liquid is thickened with the veggies for about 5-7 minutes on a medium-low flame.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, salt, and pepper and keep it ready.
- Add a ¼ cup of vegetable sauce mixture to the greased baking dish. Arrange a layer of cooked lasagna noodles above the saucy mixture.
- Layer ⅓ portion of veggie saucy above the noodles followed by ½ the portion of prepared ricotta mixture. Spread a layer of parmesan and mozzarella cheese and arrange the lasagna noodles again and repeat the same layerings.
- In the final layer add the noodles, vegetable saucy mixture, and cheese.
- Cover the casserole with aluminum foil. Bake the lasagna for 20 minutes and remove the foil and bake further for 15 minutes.
