8 lasagna noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 heads broccoli, chopped
2 carrots, thinly sliced
1 large onion, chopped
2 green bell peppers, chopped
2 small zucchini, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups 2% low-fat milk
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
11 ounces spinach, baby spinach
8 ounces part-skim cottage cheese
24 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese
2 1/2 cups part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded and divided

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, add broccoli, carrots, onions, bell peppers, zucchini and garlic. Saute for 7 minutes; set aside.
Place flour in a medium saucepan and gradually whisk in milk until well blended. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook 5 minutes, or until thick, stirring constantly. Stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in spinach. Reserve 1/2 cup spinach mixture.
In a small bowl combine cottage and ricotta cheeses; stir well.
Spread about 1/2 cup of spinach mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan. Layer noodles, ricotta mixture, vegetables, spinach mixture and 2 cups mozzarella cheese, ending with noodles. Top with reserved spinach mixture, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until lightly browned on top. Cool for approximately 10 minutes before serving.
