Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced eggplants, mushrooms, and grated carrots. Season with salt, pepper, basil, and garlic powder. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a large pot, boil water and cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  4. In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Layer 3-4 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta cheese, followed by half of the sautéed vegetables. Pour a bit more marinara sauce on top, and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  5. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients, finishing with a final layer of noodles topped with sauce and remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  7. Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy your homemade lasagna!
