Veg lasagne recipe

[beststepforward]

Does anyone have a decent one?

Mushrooms sautéed in lime juice are very nice in one.

The Jamie Oliver ultimate comfort food one is really good, but takes 3 hrs to make.

We had a lovely one recently:
Roasted veg ; aubergines, courgettes, and some tomatoes that I had in fridge
Tomato sauce; usual soffrito with tinned tomatoes and Basil at the end
Bechemel sauce
Layered in the usual way with a thin layer of spinach as well.
Parmesan on top
I use dry lasagne sheets but you do need to make plenty of sauces and to bake for longer than the packet says

I'll link a recipe for a pasta sauce that we absolutely love.. it also gives the instructions for the lasagne variation (i.e just don't purée it!) although I admit we haven't tried it yet.

Initially I made the pasta sauce for my daughter when we were weaning but absolutely love it myself, I do add a bit of salt and pepper though as it's a healthy kids recipe and lacks in seasoning.

I make one with spinach and white cheese, white sauce with plenty of salt and pepper and a good grating of Parmesan
works well

Not tried it myself, but I have had this Artichoke and Mushroom lasagne bookmarked for a while. I think what appeals is that it celebrates these vegetables for what they are, and doesn't try to directly substitute a meat which is where I often find veggie food falls flat. Beef/pork provide a lot of favour, fat, and umami so you can't replace with lentils like some recipes do and expect it to not be massively inferior.

Also maybe look at this, part of Felicity Cloakes 'How to cook the perfect...' series, a series I have frequently found success with. During the article she talks through the outcomes of her recipe testing and why she chooses what she does for her perfect recipe which is insightful and interesting, and allows you to make your own informed adaptions.

I love nigella’s as a starting point, then tweak for the veggies we prefer.

I don't have a proper recipe as adapted from one I had years ago, but I do a great veg one. Layers of bechamel (I cheat and buy this) with a tub of mascarpone and generous quantity of grated cheddar mixed in) . Cook up a tomato layer with lots of courgette, pepper, onion and chopped tomato with balsamic and a pinch of sugar. Lots of extra grated cheese on top. Nice fresh, but much better cooked, chilled and reheated as holds together perfectly that way. I don't precook the lasagne sheets but I do add a bit of water over the bottom layer to prevent it coming out too hard.

I add lentils to bulk it out, make it more "meaty" and soak up the juice that veg usually give off

This is very easy and simple.

aubergines, courgettes, peppers, onions, mushrooms, garlic etc. fry up, add tinned tomatoes, oregano and smoked paprika.

layer up with lasagne sheets. Lots of grated cheese on top (I use Red Leicester and Parmesan).

bake until cooked.

I make a quorn one to replace the meat and just use the same recipe but use vegetarian oxo. I can't tell the difference.

Sometimes I use courgette that has been sliced lengthways with the slicing tool thing, I can't think what it's called instead of pasta sheets.
