Answer 2

As you know how to do the sauces, here's a list of the veg I use, and I add them to the pan & saute in this order:
Red onion, chopped,
Green & Red Peppers chopped
Garlic - 2 cloves
Celery - 2 sticks sliced
Carrots - 2 medium cubed
Mushrooms - bowl full, chopped
Add your tomato sauce, with 2 verg stock cubes added, then add
Courgette chopped
cup of sweetcorn
Black pepper & salt.
Cook for 30 mins then assemble the lasagne in layers.
The best bit is after the final white sauce, cover with grated cheese & sprinkle with ground nugmeg - it adds an amazing flavour. 40 mins in the oven & serve with garlic bread. Delicious!!

Answer 3

Chop one or two onions finely, chop one large garlic fry in a pan till see-through, add one tin of chopped tomatoes, a squeese of sundried tomato paste, few herbs salt and black pepper.
Add one large packet of small-leave spinach or any other spinach and let it cook down. Add some tomato sauce about a tablespoon, a teaspoon of sugar let it cook down.

One tin of large asparagus spears and lasagna sheets. Make a cheese-sauce with normal chedder cheese or whatever cheese you eat when you are a vegetarian.

Dish spinach mixture halve of it into bottom of glass dish [preferably square or oblong ] lay down lasagna sheets and some cheese-sauce. Next layer all the asparagus spears lay down lasagna sheets cheese-sauce and so on until all the ingredients are finished.

When pressing knife into the mixture and it feels soft then the lasagna will be cooked. It is delicious served with a salad.:))

Answer 4

I make lasagna without meat all the time. Add a layer of roasted veggies where you'd usually put meat. Preheat oven to 400, put sliced zuccini, sliced bell peppers and sliced sweet onions onto a cookie sheet in a thin layer. Add some olive oil, Italian herbs and garlic to them before they go into the oven. Cook them in the oven for about 15 minutes. Now you have gorgeous colorful veggies to add to the mix. Even the toddlers at my house stuff this in with both hands! Mmm mmm serve with salad and a nice glass of wine!

You could just substitute the meat for a vegetarian protein instwad and a good idea is to not use white sauce but use ricotta and cottage cheeses a assortment of mushrooms shitake crimini portobella oyster button morels makes a real hearty flavour and you wont even miss the meat
