Spring Veggie Alfredo Lasagna (Printable)

Fresh spring vegetables layered with creamy light Alfredo sauce and no-boil noodles create this satisfying vegetarian lasagna.

# What You Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 2 cups asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
02 - 1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed and halved
03 - 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
04 - 1 cup zucchini, diced
05 - 1 cup carrots, julienned or shredded
06 - 3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed

→ Cheeses

07 - 2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
08 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
09 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

→ Sauce

10 - 3 cups light Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

→ Pasta

11 - 9 no-boil lasagna noodles

→ Aromatics & Seasonings

12 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
13 - 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
14 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
15 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
16 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
17 - 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add asparagus, snap peas, zucchini, and carrots. Cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly tender. Stir in spinach and peas; cook for 1 minute until spinach wilts. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Remove from heat and stir in fresh basil.
03 - In a small bowl, combine ricotta cheese with half of the Parmesan cheese. Mix until well incorporated.
04 - Spread 1/2 cup of Alfredo sauce evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange 3 no-boil noodles over the sauce, slightly overlapping if necessary.
05 - Top the first noodle layer with 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, spreading evenly. Add 1/3 of the vegetable mixture, then sprinkle with 1/3 cup mozzarella. Drizzle with 2/3 cup Alfredo sauce. Repeat this layering process two more times, finishing with remaining noodles, remaining Alfredo sauce, remaining mozzarella, and remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
06 - Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes to allow noodles to cook through and flavors to meld.
07 - Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
08 - Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow layers to set. Garnish with extra fresh basil and serve warm.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The no boil noodles mean you can assemble this in under 15 minutes, perfect for weeknights when you want something impressive but effortless
  • Spring vegetables stay vibrant and tender, never mushy, because they are lightly cooked before layering
02 -
  • Do not skip the resting time, otherwise your beautiful layers will slide right onto the plate
  • If your Alfredo sauce is very thick, thin it slightly with a splash of pasta water or milk for even spreading
03 -
  • If your vegetables release a lot of water during cooking, drain them slightly before layering
  • Room temperature Alfredo sauce spreads more evenly and prevents cold spots in the baking
