Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer about 10 minutes. Spray an 12 x 8" lasagne size pan with nonstick cooking spray. Prepare filling: in medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese and egg. Blend well. Put a thin layer of marinara sauce in bottom of pan. Put 6 lasagne noodles on top of sauce. Layer with half the Cheese mixture, half the ratatouille and the remaining Cheese mixture. Cover with remaining 6 noodles. Add a very thin layer of marinara sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella.
