Notes
Be sure to cook noodles be al dente so they can absorb some of the extra juices the vegetables produce as the lasagna cooks. This helps make sure the dish does not become watery.
Be sure all of the lasagna noodles are coated in sauce so they don't dry out, especially if you're using using oven-ready lasagna noodles which require moisture from the sauce and the veggies to soften as the lasagna bakes.
Use a large and deep 9x12 baking dish, or divide the recipe into two 8x8 pans.
If making two, you can freezer one for later or share with a friend.
