The Fastest, Easiest and Most Delicious Lasagna Recipe Ever!

Lasagna recipe courtesy Debbie Nothaft, 'Cabbages and Roses' cookbook

Debbie's lasagna recipe is the fastest, easiest and most delicious lasagna I've ever had. It calls for cheese, but it's very easy to make it vegan lasagna. Also try Presto Manifesto Vegan Lasagna.

Besides being fast and easy, Debbie's recipes always work, and taste great. She cooked for thousands of vegetarians, for fifteen years, which makes 'Cabbages and Roses' an excellent transitional vegetarian cookbook.

For a vegan lasagna, substitute 1 lb firm crumbled tofu for the ricotta, and veggie cheese for the dairy. The recipe calls for 1/4 cup olive oil - if that seems excessive, use 2 Tbsp of oil.

Use a 9 x 12 or 10 x 14 glass or stainless steel pan, allow 30 minutes to simmer the sauce, 20 minutes assembly, and 45 - 60 minutes to bake.
