  6. Cook lasagna sheets in a wide pot of boiling water or as per the package instruction until al dente. Drain and keep aside.

    7. Layering

  8. Pour in around 1 cup of red sauce and spread, and then layer the pasta sheets.

  9. Spread 1/3 of sautéed veggies and spread.

  10. Then pour 1 cup of white sauce and again spread.
