Submitted by Julia M.

"This recipe is very flexible. I'd imagine that you could use vegetables or tempeh instead of beef if you wanted, and different cheeses if you wanted it less creamy."

I'm so happy I found this recipe again. It is perfect for picky eaters. Flexible to spice up or tone down. A nice base to start you out with for a lasagna, and experiment with if you like.
