Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.

  3. In a large skillet, sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, and red bell pepper until softened.

  4. Add the drained black beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes.

  5. In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella cheese and ricotta cheese until well combined.

  6. To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the black bean mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

  7. Place a layer of cooked lasagna noodles on top of the bean mixture, followed by a layer of the cheese mixture.

  8. Repeat the layers, finishing with a final layer of the black bean mixture on top.

  9. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

  10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  11. Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing.

  12. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
