Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 12-by-8-by-2-inch lasagna pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine mozzarella, Parmesan, ricotta and crushed green peppercorns. Mix well.
- Spread about 1/2 cup of the pasta sauce on the bottom of the prepared dish. Place a layer of noodles on top of the sauce. Top with half the sautéed vegetables, 1 cup of the remaining pasta sauce and half of the cheese mixture.
- Repeat with another layer, using ½ cup of the remaining
- sauce. For the final layer, place a layer of noodles followed by the remaining pasta sauce.
- Sprinkle with the topping ingredients. Cover with foil and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the vegetables are bubbly and the top cheese layer has melted. For the last 10 minutes of baking,
- remove the foil.
- Remove from oven, and let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.
