Jen's Vegetable Lasagna
This is the recipe most near and dear to my heart simply because it was the first one that i ever tweaked with to make my own. my love of cooking took off after receiving so many wonderful reviews and requests for this recipe. that was when my husband and i were 20 year old vegetarians with our first child. thirteen years and three more children later, (no longer vegetarians, although i cook meatless more than i don't) this recipe is still alive and kicking and asked for just as much as ever. play with the veggies and add any meat you like. i think the veggies sauteed in butter is the kicker. i have used homemade pasta sauce and prego when in a hurry.
