Drunken White Lasagna (Vegetarian)

spiritussancto's Note:

oh my, this ended up dangerous. i think i need to try this more often with different veggies like leeks, portabellos, fresh tomatoes, etc. the amounts are all approximate. i just threw this together. resist the urge to use dried basil or powdery kraft parmesan, they do NOT taste the same. you could probably freeze this, pre-assembled or partially cooked, just like most lasagna.
