This recipe is great to bring to family gatherings and can be stored in the refrigerator for 5 days and frozen for up to 2 months. If you prefer different vegetables this is completely versatile and you can choose to add the vegetables that are in season or that you prefer and you can change up the spices as well to give a unique flavor. This does take some preparation, but I have found this to taste the closest to regular lasagna I have tried so far! You could also omit the noodles and use thinly sliced zucchini or eggplant if you desire.
