I just love lasagna.  It is a peasant’s meal.  Everything is thrown into one pan.  Ok, that is not exactly a fair characterization of this dish.  This Vegetable Lasagna is layered with so many flavors.  I have a layer of wilted spinach and onions.  There is a layer of zucchini that has been sautéed first.  And there is a third vegetable layer having sautéed mushrooms as well.

Last week, I posted a Meat Lasagna that was awesome.  I was sure that I was going to prefer this vegetable lasagna with all the flavors I created but the meat lasagna was pretty darn good.  Do you favor a meat lasagna or a vegetable lasagna?  It is interesting because the fillings make all the difference. Whether making a meat or vegetable version, they are both made with the same noodles, the same sauce and generally, the same cheeses.

This recipe was a little extra work because I sautéed each of the vegetables.  This step, or should I say steps, added more flavor to each of the vegetables.  It is also important because you want to cook the water out of the vegetables.  You do not want the water in the lasagna or it will come out soggy.  I cannot seem to do anything the easy or quick way.  It is almost always worth the time if you have the time.  I did save some time by using store bought pasta sauce.
