Chef's Tips
Serve this vegetarian lasagne with some nice warm ciabatta bread and a lovely fresh Italian salad - belissimo!
Parmesan is not suitable for vegetarians. Vegetarian hard cheeses are available.
I have made this before using cottage cheese and it wasn't as dry. it does impress vegetarian friends too.
