Very well worth the time! I added some freshly minced garlic to the marinara sauce. I highly recommend this recipe.

Absolutely delicious! I took a look @ the other Veggie Lasagna recipes & decided to add a red & orange bell pepper & fresh mushrooms to ours...AMAZING! Served it with some fresh garlic bread.. Mmmm! The whole family is looking forward to the leftovers!

This was very tasty. I wasn't able to process the carrot and spinach layers as I don't have a food processor, but I mashed the carrots really well with a potato masher and mixed the spinach up really well, too. I thought it was great! Does definitely fill the pan and the tummy :D My husband would like more tomato sauce it it, but I liked it as is.

I normally don't use eggplant

but I would use spinach, broccoli, or even zuchinni
