I know that lasagna might not sound so wonderful to everyone but I have never made it before and I knew it could be something that I take to work with me this coming week.
I didnt look up a recipe I just looked at the recipe on the back of the noodle box and did my own thing. I used a vegan lasagna noodle I found that claimed it was 'oven ready'. I cut up half a yellow squash and half an onion. Those went into each layer of the lasagna. To do the sauce I used a jar of plain tomato sauce and added some of my own spices. To the sauce I added basil (fresh from my basil plant!!), onion powder, and minced garlic (add them to taste or buy a pre-flavored sauce). My version of the recipe was not completely vegan, I did add ricotta cheese to mine.
When my sauce was mixed and the veggie were cut I layered the noodles, cheese, sauce, and veggies. I dont have a large baking dish so my lasagna was made in a dish that was the length and width of a single lasagna noodle. I thought that was a great personal size! When I got down to my last four noodles I was at the top of my pan so I layered them up the last of my cheese and sauce. This would have been a wonderful plan had I not been a little short on my sauce. So my top noodles ended up crunchy and not well cooked. Between my top noodles and the onion I ended up putting my lasagna back in the oven for 15 more min. Originally I baked it on 350 for 25 min. So it really needs 40ish min depending on your dish depth.
Overall I could count it as a success! Not the best thing in the world but it was good!
Hope you all enjoy! Happy munching and Happy Monday!
