I made this last night for dinner and it turned out great. I enjoyed it and my boys enjoyed it.....my mom tasted it and she loved it; and she's a tough critic :)). The only thing I'm gonna do different the next time I make this is NOT puree the spinach......it didn't look too appealing pureed.
This is my favorite lasagna recipe. It's a bit of work but it's not hard to make. It is just as rich and flavorful as any meat based lasagna, in my opinion it's even tastier than any meat lasagna I've had. Try this recipe.

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 eggplantbut I would use spinach, broccoli, or even zuchinni
