In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add zucchini, bell pepper, mushrooms, and spinach. Cook until tender. Season with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Place a layer of lasagna noodles on top. Spread a layer of cheese over the noodles, followed by the sautéed vegetables, a sprinkle of mozzarella and a spoonful of marinara sauce.
Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of noodles topped with marinara sauce and the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
