Ingredients:

Ingredients Quantity
Lasagna noodles, cooked al dente 9
Cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works well) 2 cups
Fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces 1 cup
Sugar snap peas, trimmed and halved 1 cup
Diced yellow bell pepper 1 cup
Baby spinach leaves 1 cup
Shredded carrots 1 cup
Chopped fresh basil 1/2 cup
Cloves garlic, minced 2
Olive oil 2 tablespoons
Salt and pepper to taste
Alfredo sauce (homemade or high-quality store-bought) 3 cups
Shredded mozzarella cheese 2 1/2 cups
Grated Parmesan cheese 1 cup

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the asparagus, sugar snap peas, bell pepper, and carrots to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are crisp-tender, approximately 3-4 minutes. Stir in the baby spinach and chopped basil, cooking until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Layering the Lasagna: Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Place three cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce. Layer half of the vegetable mixture and half of the shredded chicken on top. Add a third of the remaining Alfredo sauce, followed by 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and 1/3 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Repeat the layering process one more time.
  4. Final Assembly: Top the final layer of noodles with the remaining Alfredo sauce, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheeses.
  5. Baking: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and starts to brown.
  6. Resting: Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
