Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 zucchini chopped
8 ounces button mushrooms finely chopped
1 red pepper seeded + chopped
2 cloves garlic minced or grated
1 jar roasted garlic or tomato basil pasta sauce
1 cup milk
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup oil packed sun-dried tomatoes oil drained
1/2 cup rinsed green lentils
6 ounces no boil lasagna noodles
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup fresh basil
8 ounces mozzarella sliced
4 ounces provolone shredded
1/3 cup grated parmesan plus more for topping
pesto, for serving (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Heat a large, high-side skillet or dutch oven over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the zucchini, mushroom and red pepper. Season with salt + pepper. Cook 3 minutes or until just lightly caramelized. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Stir in the tomato pasta sauce, milk and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, lentils + 1/4 cup water. Break each lasagna noodle into 2-3 pieces and stir them into the sauce, making sure most of them are submerged. Cook until the noodles are al dente and the lentils are soft, about 15 minutes. If the sauce seems like it is getting too thick, add water to thin.
Stir in the spinach + basil until they have wilted down into the sauce. Remove from the heat and add the mozzarella, provolone and parmesan.
Place the skillet on a large baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly. Remove and let sit 5 minutes. Serve with basil pesto and fresh parmesan. Enjoy!
