1 large onion, chopped
2 green bell peppers, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot add broccoli, carrots, onions, bell peppers, zucchini and garlic. Saute for 7 minutes; set aside.
Place flour in a medium saucepan and gradually whisk in milk until well blended. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook 5 minutes, or until thick, stirring constantly. Stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in spinach. Reserve 1/2 cup spinach mixture. In a small bowl combine cottage and ricotta cheeses; stir well.
Spread about 1/2 cup of spinach mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan. Layer noodles, ricotta mixture, vegetables, spinach mixture and 2 cups mozzarella cheese, ending with noodles. Top with reserved spinach mixture, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until lightly browned on top. Cool for approximately 10 minutes before serving.

Home made garbage
Except for the parsnips and bean sprouts, those are strong green veggies you've got there, too strong to put in soups. (except for the parsnips). I would eat the bean sprouts in a stir fry or soba bowl, steam the broccoli and eat that with butter on it and make a spinach dip or salad. You could make an omelette using the sprouts and spinach. Or you could just freeze the whole dang thing!
soup, put all in a pan, add abit of olive oil,season, maybe garlic (throw them out b4 eating) & cover with enought water to cover them , not drown them, let it cook slowly
except fot the sprouts you could make a very large beef stew.
You could make spinach quiche, which freezes really well.
Sprouts and broccoli could be used with other vegies in stirfry.
You could use your vegies and others to make soup.
Roasted parsnips.
You could try making pasties out of them, (not the sprouts though).
Make a huge dish of bubble and squeak. Make some mashed potatoes and then cook and chop up the other cooked veg and add to the mash. Transfer to an ovenproof dish and add some salt and pepper and herbs of your choice, top with some grated cheese and bang in the oven for about 20-30 mins.
It's what I did with our left over veg from Xmas day and it tasted lovely!
