Steps
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until combined, then gradually pour in milk, stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer and thicken for 5-7 minutes. Stir in nutmeg, salt, and pepper, then remove from heat.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper, cooking for 5 minutes. Add grated zucchini and drained spinach, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and beaten egg. Stir until smooth, then fold in the vegetable filling.
- Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions, until al dente. Drain and lay flat on a towel to cool.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of white sauce in a greased baking dish. Layer 3 noodles, followed by half of the vegetable cheese mixture, and mozzarella. Repeat, finishing with noodles and remaining white sauce topped with mozzarella.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbly. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes
Make sure spinach is well-drained to prevent a watery lasagna. Adjust sauce thickness by whisking in more milk if necessary. You can assemble a day in advance and refrigerate, baking fresh when ready to serve.
