Directions
Individual Vegetable Lasagnas, I liked these as they were single servings and so colorful The recipe includes a sauce recipe as well, but feel free to sub your favorite pasta sauce to speed things up Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis on Everyday Italian , I decided from the start to make this recipe as written (well, actually I shredded the carrot!), & really enjoyed putting these together as much as I did eating them ~ WONDERFULLY TASTY! A great keeper of a recipe, too ~ Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Healthy Choices ABC], Susie, these were wonderful! I loved the variety of vegetables used The carrots were pre-packaged matchstick, used cannellini beans and store bought spaghetti sauce The cheese blend was perfect with the vegetables! Next time I will make the tomato sauce from the recipe Have a great birthday Susie, sending you hugs and kisses!
