Instructions

1. Let’s start preparing the filling. Peel the onions and carrots. Rub the carrots on a coarse grater, chop the onion into small cubes. We send to a frying pan with vegetable oil and fry the carrots until soft.
2. Wash the mushrooms, peel, and cut into small cubes. Add mushrooms to carrots and onions, fry for 5 minutes.

   

3. Cut the bell pepper into cubes and send it to the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes.
4. Peel and seed the zucchini and cut it into cubes. We send to the pan, add aromatic dried herbs, salt, and pepper to taste. And we cook for 5-7 minutes. Then add the tomato sauce and chopped garlic. Let the vegetable filling simmer for 3 minutes. Do not try to evaporate all the juice, when the filling is juicy, the lasagna is tastier.
5. Cooking Bechamel sauce. Melt butter in a frying pan and add flour. Fry for 2 minutes, stirring all the time. And then pour in the milk in a thin stream, also stir the sauce all the time. Cook the sauce and stir it for 2 minutes, until it thickens. Then add nutmeg, salt, and ground pepper to taste.
6. Now let’s start assembling the lasagna. Grate the cheese on a coarse or medium grater. We cover the form with parchment, so it will be easier to get the lasagna later. Place a lasagna sheet on the bottom of the mold, then lay out the vegetable filling in a layer of about 1 cm. Lubricate with Bechamel sauce. And sprinkle with cheese. And in this order, we lay out the rest of the layers. I cover the top layer with a lasagna sheet, grease it with sauce and sprinkle with cheese.

   

7. And we put to bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 40 minutes.
