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!

Lightly coat the top of noodles with a little more sauce.
Spread cooked beans and spinach 1tbsp. then layer with ½ cup cheese
Again Place 2nd layer of noodles on top of the cheese (side by side).
Lightly spread sauce on the noodles.
Now Spread stir fried vegetables mixture evenly and again layer with ½ cup cheese mixture on top of the sauce.
Layer 3 noodles again and spread with sauce, cooked black beans, remaining stir fry vegetables, spinach and 1/2 cup cheese mix.
Finally repeat same process with 3 more noodle sheets, finally add reaming beans, veggie, sauce and sprinkle cheese mixture over the top.

April 23, 2014 at 11:33 amIf we have to boil the sheets before using?if yes , how many minutes?can we use red bell paper and sweet corn.?

May 11, 2014 at 9:47 amYes, 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!
