You really can use any vegetables you like when topping this lasagna, but this is how we made ours and it turned out spectacular – not to mention downright pretty! The no-boil noodles really make this dinner simple to throw together, even though it’ll taste like you slaved over the stove for hours. (Don’t worry, we won’t tell!) One of the beautiful things about lasagna is that it keeps like a champ in the fridge, so if you’re anything like us, you’ll be nibbling on it all week – pretty much a no-brainer for snack time! Aside from your creative veggie choices, this is about as simple a lasagna recipe as you’ll find. But don’t mistake simple for boring! This baby may be minus the meat, but it’s every bit as delicious!
