Veggie Lasagna

Ingredients:
1 package of Lasagna noodles
1 8oz package of ricotta cheese
1 large package of mozzarella cheese
1 large package of Mexican mix cheese
1 jar of spaghetti sauce
1/4 to 1/2 a bag of frozen spinach ( the amount is a personal preference)
1/4 to 1/2 a bag of frozen broccoli ( the amount is a personal preference)
3-4 frozen asparagus pieces
1/2 zucchini
Garlic salt or powder
Onion salt or powder
Basil
Red pepper flakes
Oregano
1 tbsp. olive oil

Directions:
*Preheat oven to 325 F
*Boil lasagna with olive oil until al dente
*While the pasta is boiling, put zucchini, broccoli, asparagus, and spinach into a blender until finally chopped (if veggies are frozen, pop them in the microwave till they are just a little softened)
*Also add spices in at this time (the amount of each is as much or as little as you want, I always eyeball it)
*After pasta is done cooking rinse with cold water and drain
*Start layering (in LARGE glass baking dish): lasagna noodles, ricotta cheese, some chopped veggie mix, spaghetti sauce, then spread either mozzarella or mexican cheese all over (I rotate which of these cheeses per layer) .
*Keep repeating until all ingredients are finished or you run out of room in the dish (if that happens I just make another small lasagna in a small glass dish)
*Bake for ~30 minutes (until hot and bubbly!)
