Spread 1 cup sauce over bottom of baking dish. Place 4 noodles over sauce, do not allow noodles to overlap (break up noodles if necessary) Spread 1 cup sauce over noodles. Spread ½ ricotta mixture on top. Using a slotted spoon, spread ½ vegetable mixture on top. Repeat layers, ending with noodles.

Remove foil & bake until cheese has melted, and filling is bubbling, about 15 minutes longer. Remove lasagna from oven & let stand for at least 20 minutes before serving.
