Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the zucchini into thin rounds and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the zucchini slices to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until slightly softened. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese with half of the Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Set aside.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce evenly on the bottom.
Arrange 8 cheese ravioli over the marinara sauce in a single layer.
Top the ravioli with half of the sautéed zucchini, 2 cups of baby spinach, and 1/3 of the remaining marinara sauce.
Dollop spoonfuls of the ricotta cheese mixture over the vegetables and spread gently.
Sprinkle 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta mixture.
Repeat the layers: 8 cheese ravioli, the remaining zucchini, the remaining spinach, 1/3 of the marinara sauce, dollops of ricotta mixture, and 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese.
Finish with a final layer of 8 cheese ravioli, the last 1/3 of the marinara sauce, and the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle the top with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Ravioli Vegetable Lasagna!
