Vegetable Lasagna

My best recipe for vegetable lasagna
This lasagna is one of my favorite recipes. I have made it many, many times the last two years since I came up with the recipe and I’m still in love with it. It gives me lots of food for myself (I make lots of lunch boxes and keep in the freezer) or when I’m having friends over for dinner. Everyone loves it and it’s serves many, hungry guests. Whether your a vegetarian or not, this is a creamy lasagna with lots of flavor that everyone will love.

This is a great recipe if you want to prepare your food one day ahead. The lasagna is even better the day after you have made it and you can easily make it, keep it in the fridge and just heat it an hour before your dinner guests arrive. Alternatively you can prepare the sauce one day ahead and assembly the lasagna the same day.

One of my favorite recipes that I often make and put in lunchboxes.
