Vegetable Lasagna has layers of pasta, cheese, fresh vegetables, and sauce! What more can you ask for? This recipe is truly divine.
Serve this with a simple tomato avocado salad and garlic parmesan dinner rolls.
Vegetable Lasagna is probably one of my all-time favorite meals. Whether it’s a classic lasagna or vegetable lasagna I’m all for it. This recipe is very versatile, you can use fresh or frozen vegetables but I highly recommend using fresh.
