Lay out enough dry lasagna strips in a 9x13 pan to
ensure you have enough to make 3 full layers, with
very little overlap on each layer. Remove the dry
strips and cook according to package instructions until
barely "al dente" and drain.

ALFREDO SAUCE: Heat water to a boil in the bottom of
a double boiler. Add butter, cream and pepper to the
top pot and heat until butter is completely melted,
then stir in Parmesan until melted and blended.​
Remove top pot and set aside to cool. Divide the
sauce into 2 equal portions. Refrigerate 1 portion for
use later.

RICOTTA CHEESE MIX: Combine all ingredients in a
bowl and blend thoroughly with a rubber spatula. Set
aside at room temp.

VEGETABLES: Combine all veggies and mix well.

ASSEMBLY: Coat the bottom and sides of a 9x13
baking dish with vegetable spray. Lay out cooked
lasagna strips (about 4) to cover entire bottom.
Spread 1−1/4 c of the Ricotta mix evenly over the
strips. Top with 8 c of veggie mix and spread out
evenly. Lay out 9 of the mozzarella slices to cover the
veggie layer. Repeat this layering. Top the second
layer of mozzarella slices with lasagna strips and
spread them evenly with 1−1/4 c ricotta cheese mix to
finish.

COOKING: Spray a sheet of foil with vegetable spray
and cover the baking dish tightly with the foil, sprayed
side down. Bake in a preheated 375F oven for about
an hour or until the internal temp is 165F. Remove
from the oven and allow to sit for a few minutes,
covered, before cutting and serving. Immediately prior
to serving, heat the reserved portion of Alfredo Sauce
and ladle the hot sauce over each slice of lasagna as​
it is served.
