This recipe was born when I had extra veggies in the fridge from previous recipes (a leek, some kale, and a few bell peppers). I decided to take our No-Boil Lasagna recipe and load it up with random veggies from the fridge. Feel free to modify this “Get Your Veggies Lasagna” with any veggies you think sound good.
