Here's an amazingly delicious vegetarian lasagna that requires just nine ingredients to make. It's hearty, saucy, and super satisfying, as the roasted vegetables give it lots of depth of flavor. The best part is it's mostly hands-off cooking, so it's very easy to assemble for any night of the week. First, let the eggplant and mushrooms roast in the oven until they're tender. Then layer the veggies, store-bought marinara sauce, no-cook noodles, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, then lastly grated Parmesan cheese in a pan. Let the lasagna bake in the oven until browned and bubbly, which should take about 45 minutes, and dinner is served.
