Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Gather your baking sheets and lasagna dish while the oven warms up.
  2. Slice the eggplants, zucchinis, yellow, and red bell peppers into even strips. Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the all-purpose flour, then gradually stir in milk and heavy cream. Cook until thickened, then fold in mozzarella, parmesan, ricotta, minced garlic, basil, and parsley.
  4. Layer the lasagna by spreading cheese sauce at the bottom of the baking dish, followed by lasagna sheets, roasted vegetables, and more sauce. Repeat, finishing with sauce on top.
  5. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and sprinkle extra mozzarella, baking for another 10–12 minutes.
  6. Let the lasagna rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
