This is a special request from another lover of good, wholesome food. This lasagna is absolutely delicious and is an awesome way to get more vegetables into you and your loved ones day. Experiment with your layer options. (e.g use sweet potato, parsnip, more eggplant etc). Most importantly lets not forget that this recipe is gluten free and therefore much kinder on that belly of yours.
