Debbie'S Vegetable Lasagna - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    9 lasagna noodles
    1/4 cup margarine
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1 cup milk
    1/2 cup vegetable broth, or as needed
    2 tablespoons white wine
    1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    1 cup light ricotta cheese
    1 egg
    1 egg white
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    2 cups coarsely shredded carrots
    2 cups coarsely chopped zucchini
    1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
    1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Preparation
    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
    Melt margarine in a skillet over low heat; cook and stir flour, salt, and pepper into the melted margarine until smooth and bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Add milk and broth into flour mixture, stirring constantly; bring sauce to a boil. Stir wine into sauce and remove from heat. Stir Parmesan cheese into sauce until smooth.
    Whisk ricotta cheese, egg, and egg white together in a bowl.
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; saute carrots, zucchini, and spinach until just becoming tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir vegetable mixture into ricotta mixture.
    Layer 1/3 the lasagna noodles, 1/3 the ricotta-vegetable mixture, and 1/3 the Parmesan sauce in a 9x13-inch baking dish; repeat layering 2 more times with remaining ingredients, ending with a layer of mozzarella cheese.
    Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is lightly browned and bubbling, about 30 minutes.
