Ingredients

  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (28 ounces) tomato puree
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh basil
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • ROASTED VEGETABLES:
  • 4 cups sliced zucchini
  • 3 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 2 medium green peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 6 lasagna noodles, cooked, rinsed and drained
  • 4 cups (16 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Tip

Draining Lasagna Noodles

To keep lasagna from becoming watery when baking, it's important to drain the noodles well. Here's a good way to do that: Drain and rinse the cooked noodles in a colander. Take each noodle, shake off excess water and lay flat on pieces of waxed paper until most of the water has evaporated.

Medium-Bodied Red Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a medium-bodied red wine such as Chianti, Sangiovese, Malbec or Zinfandel.
