Vegetable lasagne is easy and delicious. Here’s a variation on the classic red sauce version of vegetarian lasagne, with some extra vegetables.

ingredients

  • 1 lbs dry lasagne noodles
  • 2 - 3 C Italian tomato sauce
  • 2 small or one large zucchini, grated
  • 1 C chopped cauliflower
  • 1/2 - 1 lbs ricotta cheese or cottage cheese
  • 3 large bunches spinach, washed and stemmed
  • 1 lbs mozzarella cheese, grated or thinly sliced
  • 1/2 lbs provolone, grated or thinly sliced (optional)

directions

  • 1

    Bring the tomato sauce to a boil, stir in the zucchini and cauliflower. Cook for about 5 minutes.

  • 2

    Ladle a bit of sauce into the baking dish and spread it around so that the bottom of the dish is lightly coated.

  • 3

    Preheat oven to 350.

  • 4

    Place lasagne noodles in the pan to form a single layer. If necessary, break noodles to fill gaps.

  • 5

    Spread 1/3 of the ricotta cheese on the noodles, then lay out 1/3 of the spinach on top of that. Sprinkle or place 1/3 of the cheese, then cover with tomato sauce.

  • 6

    Repeat twice, using 1/3 of ingredients for each layer, saving a sprinkle of cheese to garnish the top.

  • 7

    Bake for about 1 hour, until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted. Let cool slightly and serve.

    Notes You don’t actually need to cook the lasagne noodles ahead of time, as long as they are surrounded by plenty of sauce.

  • 9

    The vague amounts of sauce and cheese are deliberate - personally, I like tons of cheese and sauce in my lasagne, but others think it’s excessive and prefer more vegetables.
