Ingredients

  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons green curry paste
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Begin by cooking the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent. Stir in the bell peppers and zucchini, cooking until tender. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.

In a separate saucepan, combine the coconut milk and green curry paste. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly to blend the flavors. Season with salt and pepper. Once the sauce is heated through, remove from heat.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, spread a layer of green curry sauce on the bottom. Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by a portion of the sautéed vegetables. Sprinkle a mixture of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a cheese layer on top.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, until bubbling and golden. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to brown the cheese. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
