Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Place lasagne sheets in the bottom of a baking dish so they touch but don't overlap.
Remove the bay leaves from the vegetable sauce, add salt and pepper to taste, stir to combine.
Spread the vegetable sauce onto the lasagne sheets.
Spoon the ricotta onto the vegetable layer. Smooth if desired.
