Vegetable Lasagna Delight

Vegetable Lasagna is one of my daughter's favorite dinner. They like the way I make it with black beans, spinach, broccoli and mixed vegetables. It’s a great party dish. You can prepare this ahead of time. Just bake before the party and serve hot!

      Yes, boil the sheets if you’re not using oven ready lasagna sheets. Boil for 9-11 minutes or to desired tenderness, stirring occasionally. Then, add a pinch of salt and one teaspoon of oil in boiling water before adding lasagna sheet.
      Yes, sweet corn and red bell pepper taste great too!
      Hope this helps!
