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

Directions

In a large saucepan, saute onion in oil until tender; add garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the tomato puree, sauce and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the vegetables, salt and pepper. Transfer to two 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pans coated with cooking spray. Bake at 450° for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce into a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Layer with three noodles, 1-3/4 cups sauce, and half of the roasted vegetables and cheeses. Repeat layers.
Cover and bake at 400° for 10 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until bubbly and golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Yield: 12 servings.

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.
