Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Slice the 2 zucchini and 3 tomatoes into 1/4-inch rounds. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt.

  2. Step 2

    Spread 1/4 cup pesto over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Lay 3 no-boil lasagna noodles over the pesto.

  3. Step 3

    Spread 1/2 cup ricotta over the noodles, then layer half the zucchini and tomato slices. Drizzle with 1/4 cup pesto and sprinkle with 1/2 cup mozzarella.

  4. Step 4

    Repeat layers: 3 noodles, 1/2 cup ricotta, remaining vegetables, 1/4 cup pesto, and 1/2 cup mozzarella. Top with remaining 3 noodles.

  5. Step 5

    Spread remaining 1/2 cup ricotta over the top, then sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Remove foil and bake until cheese is bubbly and golden, about 10-15 minutes more. Let rest 5 minutes, then garnish with 1/4 cup chopped parsley.

  7. Step 7

    Slice and serve warm.
