1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Recipe

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Rinse. In 10-inch skillet melt 2 tablespoons butter until sizzling; stir in garlic. Add zucchini, green peppers, onions, salt, pepper, basil and oregano; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until vegetables are crisp tender (5-6 minutes).

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together egg and the 3 cheeses. Stir in tomatoes and cooked vegetables. Mix gently. Place about 1/2 cup filling on one end of each lasagna noodle. Roll up lasagna noodle, jelly roll fashion (some filling will spill our each end). Place seam side down, in 12x8-inch baking pan. Fill in around roll-ups with excess filling. Set aside. In a 2-quart saucepan melt butter over medium heat; stir in flour, add salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until smooth and bubbly. Add milk; continue cooking until sauce begins to thicken (1 to 2 minutes). Stir in mozzarella cheese, parsley, and basil. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until cheese is melted (2 to 4 minutes). Pour over lasagna roll-ups; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through.
