simplywanderfull
Here's a great recipe for a homemade vegetarian lasagne. Its nourishing and packed with flavour. A perfect meal for a complete vegetarian meal!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp. olive oil and 1 tbsp. butter
  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 red pepper diced
  • 1 carrot finely shredded
  • 1 zucchini diced small
  • handful of spinach chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes optional
  • handful of parsley chopped
  • 1-1/2 cups of mushrooms diced
  • 1 potato peeled, diced, boiled and mashed
  • 1 heaping tbsp. of basil pesto optional
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 1 jar Rao’s Primavera sauce
  • 1 can whole tomatoes crushed
  • 2 cups Vegetable Stock
  • 1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • Shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • Italian 4-cheese blend shredded cheese
  • Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • In a large saucepan over medium high heat melt the oil and butter. Add the onions and sauté for 5 minutes until golden. Add mushrooms, carrot, zucchini, red pepper, garlic, spinach, parsley, and sun dried tomatoes. Season with salt & pepper. Stir and place the lid on for 3 minutes to let it all sweat together. Remove the lid and add in the balsamic vinegar, vegetable stock, tomatoes, and the Primavera sauce. Throw in a bay leaf and simmer for 2 hours, stirring often. Taste and add salt and pepper as necessary.
  • Assemble Lasagne:
  • To a 9x13 baking dish add sauce to the bottom of the pan. Add lasagne noodles, then a layer of sauce. Now sprinkle a mix of the mozzarella, and 4-cheese blend. Continue to layer the noodles, sauce and cheese until you reach the top. I was able to use the whole box of lasagne. On the top layer, add the sauce, cheese and then I like to sprinkle parmesan so it gets nice and golden at the end.
  • Baking Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cover the lasagne with tin foil. Bake covered for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake for 15 more minutes. Broil for 3-4 minutes until nicely golden be careful not to burn the top. Allow the lasagne to rest for a bit before serving. Enjoy!
