Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions until just al dente — tender but with a slight resistance at the center. Drain, lay flat on a lightly oiled baking sheet to prevent sticking, and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 7–8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
