Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a lasagna dish, spread a thin layer of tomato sauce.

Create a layer with lasagna pasta sheets. Add zucchini slices, basil leaves, and sprinkle a little bit of oregano. Cover with Alfredo sauce and mozzarella.
-
Add another layer of lasagna pasta sheets. This time, incorporate eggplant, sliced tomatoes, mushrooms, mozzarella, basil leaves, and sprinkle a little bit of oregano.
-

Baking Instructions:
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes. The baking time may vary depending on whether your lasagna sheets are pre-cooked or require baking in the oven.
- If using pre-cooked lasagna sheets, cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- *If using uncooked lasagna sheets, cover the dish with aluminum foil for the majority of the baking time instructed.
- In the final 1-3 minutes, remove the foil and broil the lasagna until the cheese on top achieves a golden and slightly darkened texture.
