This lasagna did not require a lot of chopping, which sometimes is the case with other vegetarian-friendly lasagnas, which I appreciated. This came together easily and the directions were spot on. We thought this was good, though it seemed to be missing something. Maybe more herbs/spices? Nonetheless, it was enjoyed. Made for Spring 2013 Photo Tag.
