Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar snap peas (trimmed and halved)
• 1 cup diced yellow bell pepper
• 1 cup baby spinach leaves
• 1 cup shredded carrots

• 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

• 3 cups Alfredo sauce (homemade or high-quality store-bought)
• 2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add asparagus, sugar snap peas, bell pepper, and carrots. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Stir in spinach and basil until wilted. Remove from heat.
4. Butter a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom.
5. Layer 3 lasagna noodles, half of the veggies, half of the chicken, 1 cup mozzarella, and 1/3 cup Parmesan. Repeat the layers.
6. Top with the remaining noodles, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Alfredo sauce.
7. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
8. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips and Variations

• Vegetarian Option: Substitute chicken with leeks or green onions for a veggie-packed version.
• Time-Saver: Use no-boil lasagna noodles for a quicker prep.
• Crunchy Topping: Sprinkle breadcrumbs and Parmesan over the cheese before baking.
• Sauce Swap: Replace Alfredo with béchamel sauce and Pecorino Romano for a twist.
• Fresh Herbs: Add basil or parsley just before serving for a burst of flavor and color.

Enjoy this spring-inspired lasagna that’s sure to become a family favorite!
