Ingredients
Scale
12 lasagna noodles
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg, beaten
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained and chopped
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, water, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and egg.
In a separate bowl, combine chopped artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes.
Spread 1 cup of tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Arrange 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
Top with half of the artichoke and sun-dried tomato mixture.
Sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Repeat layers: 4 noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining artichoke and sun-dried tomato mixture, and 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
Top with remaining 4 noodles and remaining tomato sauce.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use fire-roasted diced tomatoes.
You can prepare the sauce and ricotta mixture a day ahead.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
