Answer 3

Everyone above has given you wonderful suggestions...in addition if you like a little spicy...'Boca Burger' makes a Spicy Chicken Patty (veggie of course). Cook the patties separately then cube them and layer the spicy soy chicken in between layers of soy cheese and finely sauteed onions and green peppers.

I find that if you get overzealous with too many different types of veggies it can spoil the flavor. Beteavon!

Answer 4

Zucchini, onions, bell pepper, mushrooms, celery.
I really pile up the veggies in my Lasagna
I also sometimes make a Lasagna using Zucchini instead of noodles(allergic to wheat). Family loves it.

Answer 5

zucchini and mushrooms with garlic and onions. Try wheat noodles also this makes the texture different and you might like it better this way. Use basil and oregano to enhance flavor.
****please do not eat spinach right now******* check out the news about posioned spinach and some lettuce. Becareful!***

Answer 6

I make my sauce for lasagna with tomato (obviously!) onion, garlic, zucchini, celery, green pepper and fresh basil. You could also use a variety of mushrooms.

The original Moosewood cookbook has a recipe for marinara sauce with three different variations. Any of them can be used to make lasagna (there's also a recipe for that in the cookbook.) The recipe I use to rave reviews is adapted from theirs.

Answer 7

I use whole wheat lasagna noodles for starter's!

I like zuchhini, green, red or yellow peppers, mushrooms, spinach, summer squash, onion, eggplant, carrot, swiss chard, sometimes pintos or some "crumbles", so many good things to use for lasagna!!!

Yummm!!! Im gonna have to make lasagna now!!! LOL!!!
