Ingredients

2 medium zucchini, sliced diagonally 1/4-in. thick
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
2 large carrots, julienned
2 medium sweet red peppers, julienned
1/4 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
SAUCE:
2 cups finely chopped baby portobello mushrooms
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cans (28 ounces each) crushed tomatoes
3 teaspoons Italian seasoning
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper

1-1/4 cups ricotta cheese
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

We aren't vegetarians by any means, but thought I would try it and it is delicious!! I'm going to recommend the recipe to my daughter-in-law who is vegetarian. It is time consuming, but well worth it!

This is a really good lasagna. I left out the mushrooms, but that was the only change I made.

I've tried making veg lasagna in the past with watery results. I'm guessing that roasting the veggies ahead of time helped draw out some of their moisture because this lasagna kept it's shape so well and was not watery at all. Chopping up mushrooms and mixing in with the sauce gave thickened and flavored it nicely. I strictly kept to the exact recipe on the first try. I'll add spinach next time.

This was fabulous! I also used cottage cheese instead, but otherwise followed the recipe and it was super yummy! Definitely will be making this again. My 4 and 2 year olds ate it up- a great way to get in some veggies!

I used cottage cheese because we don't like ricotta as well, and this was amazing!

Excellent! Made exactly as directed-except I increased the baking time to 50 minutes.

Excellent flavor but time consuming as lasagna usually is. I made the sauce the evening before but felt it needed something more so I added 1 tsp. fennel seed, 2 tsp. sugar, some fresh chopped parsley and 1/3 c. salsa.....it was delicious! The next day I roasted the veggies and put it all together. My husband loved it too!
