Tips for an Irresistible Meatless Lasagna:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your lasagna. Some good choices include zucchini, spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
  • Roast or sauté your vegetables before adding them to the lasagna. This will help them to caramelize and develop a deeper flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese blend. This will make a big difference in the taste of your lasagna. Look for a blend that has a mix of hard and soft cheeses, such as mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta.
