Ingredients
  

  • 8 lasagna noodles
  • 1 TBSP plus 1 TSP extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 15- oz container of low-fat ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup light shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 large bell pepper
  • 2 ears sweet yellow corn
  • 1 TBSP fresh lemon juice
  • 3 TBSP fresh basil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 TSP lemon zest
  • 1/2 TSP salt
  • 1/4 TSP black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Cook lasagna noodles al dente according to directions.
  • Meanwhile, mince garlic, slice zucchini into thin rounds and cut bell pepper into thin strips. Warm 1 TBSP olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add zucchini and bell pepper, and cook until slightly tender.
  • Cut corn off the cob, and add the kernels to the veggie pan. Season with 1/4 TSP of salt and pepper. Allow it to cook about another 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Once noodles are done cooking, drain, brush with 1 TSP of olive oil and arrange on a baking sheet to cool.
  • In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, lemon zest, lemon juice, basil and remaining 1/4 TSP salt. Mix together well.
  • Cut lasagna noodles in half. On a large plate, place 4 noodle halves. Spread 2 TBSP of ricotta mixture on each. Add a layer of veggies (I added zucchini, bell pepper, and corn in a layer on their own separately, then did a mixture of all 3 at the top). Repeat the layering of noodles, cheese, and veggies 3x more.
  • Serve and enjoy!
