Aunt Kathy's Lasagna




Tonight I made Aunt Kathy's lasagna-YUM! But I made is meatless, swapping the meat with veggies. So instead of sauteing the meat with onions and garlic I put in finely shredded carrots, chopped zucchini, and chopped portobellos. Added the remaining ingredients for the sauce and let it simmer for the thirty minutes. I also like to add a layer of fresh spinach in-between the mozzarella and the sauce. I have done this for a long time and goes great with the meat sauce too. Curtis really liked it. I asked if he missed the meat and he told me that he missed the texture but that was all....and seeing half my 9x13 pan empty, I believed him! I think that if you were to chopped the portobellos up a little more fine and add them to the sauce just before layering in the pan it might give the illusion of meat, I do not know. So try the veggies in Aunt Kathy's Lasagna, it is really good!
