Creating a scrumptious Asparagus Lasagna is enjoyable and rewarding. Follow these steps carefully to ensure the best results:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cook Noodles: In a large pot, boil water and cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

3. Prepare Asparagus: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped asparagus in a drizzle of olive oil for about 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp. Remove from heat.

4. Mix Cheese Filling: In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, one cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

5. Layer Ingredients: In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Place three noodles over the sauce, then half of the ricotta mixture, followed by half of the sautéed asparagus. Add another layer of marinara sauce.

6. Repeat Layers: Continue layering with three more noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, the remaining asparagus, and more marinara sauce. Top with the final three noodles, the remaining marinara sauce, and the remaining mozzarella cheese.

7. Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

8. Uncover and Brown: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

9. Cool: Once you remove the lasagna from the oven, allow it to cool for about 15 minutes before slicing. This helps set the layers for easier serving.

10. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for a burst of color and flavor before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll create an incredible Asparagus Lasagna that is sure to impress.
