Vegetarian Lasagna



8 oz of no-boil lasagna pasta

26 oz jar of chunky vegetable pasta sauce

16 oz container of ricotta cheese

8 oz of mozzarella cheese

baking dish, 8x8 or near size

lid or foil for baking dish



Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.



Step2 Spread a thin layer of chunky vegetable pasta sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.



Step3 Place a layer of lasagna pasta over the sauce. Break the pasta into halves to get them to fit, if necessary.



Step4 Spread a layer of ricotta cheese over the hard pasta.

Use up half of the container.



Step5 Spread a generous layer of chunky vegetable pasta sauce over the ricotta cheese.

Make sure that no pasta is exposed; cover it with sauce.



Step6 Thinly slice or grate the mozzarella.

Layer about half of it on top of the pasta sauce.



Step7 Repeat steps 3-6.



Step8 Cover the baking dish, using either a lid or foil.



Step9 Slide the dish into your preheated oven and set the timer for 40 minutes.



Step10 After the 40 minutes are up, uncover the baking dish.

Set your timer to bake the vegetarian lasagna for an additional 15 minutes. You may adjust this time according to your preference of a gooier cheese topping (less baking time) or a crustier one (more baking time).



Step11 When the cheese toping of the vegetarian lasagna is to your satisfaction, turn off the oven.



Use oven mitts to take the lasagna dish out.



Let the vegetarian lasagna cool a few minutes for easier dish-to-plate transfer.



And that's it! Enjoy!
Simple veggie lasagne. Mix ricotta, moz and parma cheese with egg, garlic and oregano. That's your cheese mix. Steam your veggies until just under done and drain well. Layer your sauce, pasta, cheese, veggies, pasta, cheese, veggies, sauce.



You can precook your pasta or not. It's up to you. If you want to use uncooked pasta, add extra water to your sauce and cover with alum foil during cooking.



I love veggie lasagne. It's way good.
I make mine in a turkey pan and it is about 5 inches thick. Layers:

On the bottom put dried onions, dried mushrooms and dried green peppers. That will soak up all the juices so it doesn't get soupy.

You don't need meat in there. Just put the egg and cheese in the ricotta cheese, like normal. You could put some thin sliced zucchini in too, if you want
