Ingredients
Salt and pepper - To taste
Basil - 1 tablespoon, chopped
Egg - 1
Parmesan cheese - 1/2 cup, grated
Mozzarella cheese - 2 cups, shredded
Ricotta cheese - 2 cups
Tomato sauce - 2 cups

Bell peppers - 2, chopped
Garlic - 2 cloves, minced

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, bell peppers, and zucchini. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.
Add the tomato sauce to the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese, the Parmesan cheese, egg, basil, salt, and pepper.
Spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer with 4 lasagna noodles, half of the cheese mixture, and half of the vegetable mixture. Repeat the layers.
Top with the remaining 4 lasagna noodles, the remaining tomato sauce, and the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
