Recipe Notes
Vegetarian lasagna can be so many things. This is a good recipe to use as a guide with great basic veggies – onions, carrots and mushrooms. You could easily substitute leeks for the onions or even use red onions. Instead of the carrots or mushrooms you could substitute celery, parsnips, or grape tomatoes. If you are going to substitute something for the zucchini, yellow squash will work great, but for eggplant it is a good idea to precook the slices in the oven while the sauce is simmering.
Lasagna takes some time to make but it is worth it. Having a bunch of leftovers doesn’t hurt at all.
