LOVED making this! DO NOT! REPEAT DO NOT give this a miss! OK...Used 13 x 9 Pyrex dish, With lentil, was really delish! I only needed 250g dry whole wheat lasana noodles, TRUE! Did everything else like written too! HELPFUL Hint: If using grilled eggplant and grilled eggplant from zucchini in a jar...washed under cold water too! As suggested by another Zaar person, place on ONLY when add cheese too! Took about 10 minutes on lower rack in oven to melt! This recipe is really healthy, friendly and heart felt! THANKS!

<p>I am an Aussie married to my wonderful American husband since 2002. I no longer work having been retired on medical grounds. My main hobby would be cooking and collecting recipes (one can never have enough cookbooks)! We have 2 cute kitties named Jerzee & Zebu, who bring me great joy. I also enjoy watching sports, listening to music and spending time with family and friends. I like almost all types of music, & would go to more concerts if I had more money. Having been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes last year I am really focussing on eating more & more unprocessed foods. The irony is that I never really had a sweet tooth & now that I've been told to avoid sugar, suddenly alln things sweet seem so delicious!!! Now that I have more time I plan on cooking more frequently & also trying some more time-consuming recipes.</p>
