    Fast and Easy Vegetarian Lasagna

    A fast and easy recipe for vegetarian lasagna using a few shortcuts and tricks to make this recipe so easy, yet so delicious.

    Sometimes you just need something quick and easy to make for dinner. I found this recipe for a quick vegetarian lasagna many years ago from a magazine and have made it so many times I don't even need to refer to the recipe. It helps that it is so simple and uses items you are likely to have on hand.

    The main vegetable is spinach along with the traditional tomato sauce and cheese that you typically find in a lasagna recipe.

    Vegetable lasagna layers

    I love to bring this to a party or holiday dinner. Since it is vegetarian it makes a great side dish for a large crowd or the main course for the non-meat eaters in the group. It's made in a 9x13 baking dish so it serves quite a few people, approx. 20 nice-size servings.

    Ricotta cheese and pesto sauce

    One of the key flavor ingredients is jarred pesto sauce which you mix with the ricotta. No need to add eggs or other cheeses.

    Of course, you can modify it in several ways. For example, this recipe uses two jars of vodka sauce but any pasta sauce would work well.

    Also, once I dressed it up by roasting thin slices of eggplant and zucchini and added them to the layers.

    Varying the cheese mix and the type of pesto sauce is yet another variation you may want to try.

      This looks wonderful and when our temperatures cool I'm going to give it a try. Yes we're still cooling it's been so humid that eating isn't even enjoyable. Saving and thinking to myself would mushrooms or olives be good added to lasagna?
