Nobody will miss the meat with this healthy and easy Vegetable Lasagna recipe!
Vegetable Lasagna
Oh, vegetable lasagna. You have my heart.
If eating lasagna is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
This is an easy recipe for vegetable lasagna that will make your heart sing. It’s not quite as easy as this Skillet Spinach Lasagna, but still easy. I use these whole wheat no-boil noodles which takes away one extra step and makes all the difference on the easy scale.
The vegetables I use for my vegetable lasagna are onion, red bell peppers, and zucchini. You can absolutely sub those out for whatever you like or have on hand. That part of this recipe is totally customizable. I think spinach is great here, and I know some people like eggplant in their vegetable lasagna. (<—not me!) 
Every time I post something like this I get the inevitable “that’s not healthy” response. Haters always gonna hate. I guess that’s what I get for putting “healthy” in my blog name.
Here’s the deal. I’m not going to justify why I consider this a healthy meal, even though I do. (Helllllo, it’s got vegetables!) What’s healthy is to eat and enjoy food you love, in moderation. And I LOVE lasagna. If you love lasagna, too, give this Vegetable Lasagna a try! I think you’ll be surprised at how great lasagna is without the meat.
If you do, I’d love to hear what you think. Recipe ratings also help other readers decide if the recipe is legit, so if you try this, I’d love you forever if you give it a rating. Thanks, friends!
