Submitted by The Obvious Cook

"This lasagna is delicious and loaded with dietary Fiber and Protein. When cooking it it may seem like there is not enough noodles, but it ends up being delicious. The mixed vegetables I used included broccoli, onion, corn and mushrooms. Definitely let this recipe sit for 15 minutes before serving or you'll end up with a soupy mess. Enjoy!"
