*** I have made variations to this basic recipe, substituting chopped chicken for the meat, or doing a vegetable lasagna with cooked spinach, mushrooms, and zucchini as well. If using vegetables, just make sure that they are cooked and drained thoroughly to prevent the lasagna from becoming too soupy.*** |
