Cheesy Vegetarian Lasagna

I love a cheesy vegetarian lasagna and this recipe delivers. I use Boca Crumbles in this recipe but if you don’t want it to be vegetarian, you can use an alternative like ground turkey, ground beef, or another meat of your choice.

This cheesy vegetarian lasagna part of the regular rotation in my house. It’s a great dinner and provides enough leftovers for lunches or dinners later in the week!

Cheesy Vegetarian Lasagna

This lasagna recipe is adapted from many different recipes, as well as my own ideas of what I like in my lasagna. It is very Weight Watchers friendly and can be made even more so if you cut down on the cheese.
