Ingredients

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatos
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup sliced carrots
1 red bell pepper
1/2 red onion
10 cloves garlic
4 tbsp olive oil
2 cups broccoli florets
8 oz mushrooms
1 zucchini
1 yellow squash
12 whole wheat lasagna noodles
1 container (15 oz) low-fat ricotta
1 large egg
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup finely shredded asiago cheese
1/2 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese

Steps

Simmer crushed tomatoes, one garlic clove, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons oil in a saucepan for 12 minutes.
Toss carrots, bell pepper, onion, remaining garlic, broccoli, mushrooms, zucchini, and squash with 4 tablespoons oil, then roast at 425 F for 20 minutes.
Boil the lasagna noodles in salted water until flexible, about 8 minutes, then drain them.
Stir ricotta, egg, parsley, 1 cup mozzarella, asiago, Parmesan, and the roasted vegetables in a bowl.
Spread sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, fill each noodle with the mixture, and place the rolls seam-side down.
Cover the rolls with remaining sauce and mozzarella, then bake at 375 F for 30 minutes.
Rest the roll-ups for 5 minutes before serving.
