I love a meaty lasagna like anyone else, but when I am craving something filled with delicious vegetables, this vegetable lasagna is perfect for you and your family. I have made this twice recently and I have just loved it each time. Jeremy also loves this recipe (along with his grandmother and my dad).
I first made this recipe for Thanksgiving and I am so glad that I did. It really helped to wow some of our guests while we were entertaining folks for the week. It was fairly easy to make too, and I loved that.
To make this vegetable lasagna recipe:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Heat a large non-stick wok style skillet to medium heat. Add 2 Tablespoons of olive oil, garlic and the vegetables and cook about 10 minutes or until the squash and zucchini are soft and the mushrooms have shrunken.
Make the Sauce:
Heat a small saucepan to medium heat. Add the remaining 1 Tablespoon olive oil. Add the broth and flour, stirring with a whisk. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly with the whisk. Add the whipping cream, dijon mustard, salt and pepper and simmer until the sauce begins to thicken, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, beat the egg. Add the egg to the sauce mixture and stir to combine.
