This is excellent. I'm lactose intolerant and used the soy cheese. Excellent is all i can say! The veggies were a great choice and were awesome. Overall I would make this again. It's also so easy since you don't have to ground any beef/turkey. Thanks again! This is a keeper! I used the tofu and it turned out amazing.

As Chef #304804 mentioned, most soy cheeses have casein in them, so I think this recipe could be called lactose-free. Also Veggie Shreds has preservatives in them. I used Rice Shreds (still has casein but preservative free). You'll have to keep the lasagna covered up in order for the cheese to melt properly. One could try follow your heart mozzarella "cheese." I used Gluten Free noodles which are very delicate and tore a bit but that did not affect the absolutely wonderful taste. I'll definitely use this recipe again.

I'm a real estate agent in the lovely city of Rochester, New York. That's not what I expected to do with my life. I got my bachelor's in psychology, my masters in literacy education, and I taught high school special education for two years. Then I discovered that helping people find the homes of their dreams was my real passion. I've been doing it for over two years now and still absolutely love my career.
Other than that, I have a very spoiled Border Collie mix named Bear that I adopted from a local shelter in spring '08. He's gorgeous and fun and brings me great joy. Now if only I could find a man like that... LOL!
