BOB GREENE'S NO-CHEESE VEGETABLE LASAGNA
Got this recipe from Rachael Ray's web site from Bob Greene, Oprah's trainer. "Lasagna, without cheese? You may be skeptical but this dish is pure comfort food -- with less fat and cholesterol, and fewer calories. You don't even need to precook the lasagna noodles! This is a great recipe to make ahead, store and reheat before serving. You can also make this with *rotini."

Tips:
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables are more flavorful and have a better texture than frozen or canned vegetables.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables are mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your lasagna more flavor and texture. Some good options include spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers, and carrots.
- Use a good quality pasta sauce: The pasta sauce is one of the key components of lasagna. Choose a sauce that is flavorful and has a good consistency.
- Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is what makes lasagna so delicious and rich. Use a combination of different cheeses, such as mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan.
- Bake the lasagna until it is bubbly and golden brown: This will ensure that the lasagna is cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.
Conclusion:
Vegetable lasagna is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a vegetarian or vegan diet. It is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With a little planning and effort, you can make a vegetable lasagna that is just as good as the traditional meat lasagna.
