2. [0:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTvEGL6hPz0&t=28s) Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat, then add chopped onions and cook until they soften.
3. [0:33](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTvEGL6hPz0&t=33s) Add zucchini, yellow squash, garlic, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt to the skillet, cooking until vegetables soften slightly while keeping some crunch.
4. [1:08](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTvEGL6hPz0&t=68s) Stir in chopped roasted red peppers and crushed tomatoes, bring to a low simmer, and cook until the liquid thickens and reduces by half.
5. [1:14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTvEGL6hPz0&t=74s) Finish the sauce by adding torn basil leaves, another pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper.
6. [1:23](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTvEGL6hPz0&t=83s) Boil lasagna noodles in a large pot of salted water with a little oil, then drain and set on a foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet.

9. [2:16](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTvEGL6hPz0&t=136s) Lightly oil a baking dish and spread a cup of vegetable sauce on the bottom.
10. [2:21](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTvEGL6hPz0&t=141s) Arrange a layer of overlapping lasagna noodles, spread half of the ricotta mixture, and scatter one-third of the shredded cheese.
11. [2:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTvEGL6hPz0&t=150s) Spread one-third of the vegetable sauce over the cheese layer.
12. [2:33](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTvEGL6hPz0&t=153s) Add another layer of four noodles, remaining ricotta, another third of shredded cheese, and another third of vegetable sauce.
13. [2:39](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTvEGL6hPz0&t=159s) Add the final layer of noodles, spread the remaining vegetable sauce, and top with the rest of the shredded cheese.

16. [3:22](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTvEGL6hPz0&t=202s) Broil for a minute or two to achieve a golden brown top, watching closely to prevent burning.
