Lasagna With Oven Roasted Vegetables

Submitted by Chef Dudo

"Maybe you'll miss the sauce in this lasagna. I thought I would when trying this out for the first time but it was OK. What makes it a bit different is that it is assembled on the plate instead of the whole thing cooking in the oven. Mostly lasagna is made for a crowd and I liked this cause it suited the two of us."
