Super easy! I generally cut back on the veggies so that it all fits into the pan better and cooks a little more evenly.

This recipe was so easy. I used butternut squash. Carrots, broccoli florets , onions and spinach. I will definitely make this again.

My first ever lasagna! It was very easy. I made it in a 13x 9 dish and added another layer of noodles/veggies/cheese, as I ended up chopping up WAY more veggies (even ended up throwing some out as I couldn't fit them all in)! I used 1 eggplant, 1 zucchini, 2 carrots and onions. As I used a bigger dish and another layer, I used 1-15 oz ricotta and maybe 1/4 of another 15 oz container as well as more mozzarella and sauce than called for. I had to cook covered for about an hour and 20 mins and then uncovered and cooked for an additional 20 minutes. I would suggest adding some seasoning... garlic, basil, italian seasoning, etc.. that would be my only change next time. Thanks for posting.

Very good recipe! I added some mushroom sauted in garlic butter to the vegetables and it was tastey. I also added more vegetables than 2 cups. Baked as described and it came out perfectly!

Wow, this was SO easy! I was kind of nervous about not pre-cooking the lasagna noodles to soften them but this worked like a charm. All the veggies came out tender too. I used cauliflower and carrot for my veggies (adding extra to pack the dish full)) and also added 10oz of frozen spinach to the ricotta cheese. I used Cheddar and Monterey Jack for my grated cheeses. A fantastic quick-prep lasagna. Thanks DelainaB!
