For the tomato sauce

1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
½ tsp kosher salt

For the ricotta layer

15 oz whole-milk ricotta cheese
1 large egg

¼ cup fresh basil leaves, roughly torn
¼ tsp black pepper

For the assembly

Instructions

1
Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the eggplant rounds in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet, then scatter the zucchini rounds around them. Drizzle with 3 tbsp olive oil and season with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, turning the pieces to coat. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
2
While the vegetables roast, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente — tender but with a slight resistance at the center. Drain, drizzle lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking, and lay flat on a clean surface.
