The Best Vegetarian Lasagna Ever
Ranked #11,375 in Food & Cooking, #193,003 overall
After twenty years of searching we have at last discovered the best Vegetarian Lasagna Recipe
A bit more than twenty years ago this vegetarian started dating a handsome young man who loved lasagna. Despite the fact that I couldn't find a vegetarian lasagna recipe that satisfied him, he married me. We continued searching for the perfect vegetarian lasagna recipe. We tried them all. We converted recipes that required meat into meatless. We tried the ones with spinach instead of meat, or eggplant instead of meat, or this or that or the other instead of meat. At long last - my dear husband invented his own recipe for vegetarian lasagna and it came out perfect.
Um...there's no photo yet because we snarfed it down before I even got a picture of it...

The Top Five Reasons this is the Best Vegetarian Lasagna
- Because my brilliant boy genius husband invented it
- It is gout friendly My brilliant husband has gout. Pasta, cheese and tomato sauce together can cause a gout attack, especially if he pigs out on the lasagna for two days like he usually does. This lasagna recipe avoids almost all the ingredients that bring on the gout attacks.
- It's a two person recipe We each got two servings - so it's great if you are a single person cooking for yourself, or a couple. Most lasagna recipes seem to be created for someone with a huge family to feed! With a nice green salad or garlic bread, it could easily feed four.
- It is quick and easy to cook With the no-boil noodles this vegetarian lasagna recipe is one of the easiest to prepare and quickest cooking we have ever found.
- Even carnivores like it We tested it on our non-vegetarian friends, and they loved it.
Ingredients for the Best Vegetarian Lasagna Ever
1 pkg No-boil Rice Lasagne noodles2 Red or yellow sweet Peppers
1 tbsp Olive oil
2 tsp Crushed garlic
1/2 tsp Salt (we do not use salt and left this out)
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/2 tsp Chopped oregano leaves
2 cups Eggplant, peeled and diced
1/4 cup shredded zucchini
3/4 cup Diced onions
2 cups finely shredded fiesta blend cheese
32 oz. prepared Alfredo sauce
Cooking Instructions for the Best Vegetarian Lasagna Ever
Broil peppers until charred on all sides, turning occasionally for about 15 minutes. Rinse peppers in cool water; remove the top, peel and de-seed. Slice into thin strips. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat olive oil in large nonstick skillet; sauté garlic, eggplant, zucchini and onions until just tender-about 5 minutes. Add sweet peppers, oregano, salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
In un-greased baking pan (13" x 9" x 2"), or baking dish (11-3/4" x 7-1/2" x 1-3/4"), pour 1/3 sauce onto bottom of pan. Place 3 lasagne sheets on top of sauce. Add half the vegetable mixture, half the ricotta mixture, 1/3 of the cheese over the top. Repeat with 1/3 sauce, 3 lasagne sheets, remaining vegetable mixture, and about 1/3 of the cheese. Add remaining lasagne sheets, sauce and top with the last of the cheese. Cover and bake for one hour. Make sure the no boil lasagna noodles are completely covered with sauce, or they will not cook properly.

About Me
I have been a vegetarian for twenty five years. Although my hubby was not a vegetarian when we met - nor did he cook - he has become both and now does almost all of the cooking! One of his favorite things is to take a recipe with meat and convert it to a vegetarian feast. Now I'm working on getting him to make Squidoo lenses and share some of his inventive recipes with the rest of the world.

I tweet about coloring books, coloring pages, new Squidoo lenses, that pretty bird outside the window and what the hubby is cooking up for dinner. Come follow me!
