Vegetarian Lasagne – Recipe

Lasagne has been a frequent guest at Danish dinner tables for more than 40 years, and the original Italian recipe with minced beef has been supplemented with many different versions – also as in this recipe: without meat!

The vegetarian lasagna is good for meat-free days – it is filled with lots of healthy vegetables and protein-rich lentils. It is at the same time juicy and tasty and easy to make.
Bon appetite!
