    Have a large crowd gathering for the holidays? Did you sign up to bring a main dish to a potluck feast? Consider this veggie lasagna. It’s hearty, filling, and feeds a multitude.

    Be warned, though. This vegetarian squash and carrots lasagna is so good your guests may ask for it again and again — for every potluck, for every holiday feast. They’ll get those puppy dog eyes when they look at you and say, “Oh, how about that veggie lasagna, it’s so good, and everyone can eat it—could you bring that?”

    And you’ll be slightly annoyed because, perhaps you were hoping to squeeze by with a simple potato salad, even though you signed up for a main. But then you’ll think about how good this lasagna is and how much you want some too, and then it’s just an excellent excuse to make it again.

    The Best Vegetable Lasagna

    Three reasons to love this recipe:

    1. You can easily adjust the vegetables to suit the seasons or your pantry (see recipe notes).
    2. The sauce is made from scratch with basic ingredients. It only takes a few minutes to make.
    3. Use no-boil noodles and you don’t have to bother cooking them. Just layer them up!

    The end result is a super flavorful, nutrient-dense, veggie-packed lasagna. This lasagna might not be the quickest weeknight option around, but it is a reasonably simple recipe that will absolutely satisfy your comfort food cravings and is great for a crowd.

    The Health Benefits of Eating Veggie Lasagna Regularly

    Eating veggie lasagna regularly can provide several health benefits due to the abundance of vegetables and nutritious ingredients it contains. Here are some potential health benefits associated with consuming veggie lasagna as part of a balanced diet:

    1. Increased Vegetable Intake: Veggie lasagna is a great way to incorporate a variety of vegetables into your diet. Vegetables are rich in essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and dietary fiber. Regularly consuming a wide range of vegetables can support overall health and help reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
    2. Nutrient-Dense Meal: Veggie lasagna often includes ingredients like spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, and bell peppers, which are packed with nutrients. These vegetables provide vitamins A, C, K, and various B vitamins, as well as minerals like potassium and magnesium. By consuming a nutrient-dense meal like veggie lasagna, you can help meet your daily nutrient requirements.
    3. Fiber-Rich: Vegetables and whole grain noodles in veggie lasagna contribute to its fiber content. Fiber is important for digestive health, as it promotes regular bowel movements, aids in maintaining a healthy weight, and can help lower the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.
    4. Reduced Saturated Fat: Veggie lasagna typically uses less or no meat, which can reduce the intake of saturated fats. By replacing meat with vegetables, you can decrease your saturated fat consumption and promote heart health. Additionally, using low-fat cheeses or opting for vegan cheese alternatives can further reduce saturated fat content.
    5. Potential Weight Management: Veggie lasagna can be a satisfying and filling meal due to its combination of vegetables, fiber, and protein from ingredients like ricotta cheese. A well-balanced veggie lasagna can help keep you feeling fuller for longer, potentially aiding in weight management and portion control.

    It's worth noting that the health benefits of veggie lasagna can vary depending on the specific ingredients used and the overall nutritional profile of the dish. Consider choosing whole grain noodles, using homemade or low-sugar marinara sauce, and opting for healthier cheese options to enhance the nutritional value of your veggie lasagna. As always, it's important to maintain a varied and balanced diet that includes a range of foods to ensure you meet all your nutrient needs.

    How To Store and Reheat Leftovers

    Lasagna makes great leftovers! You can keep this lasagna in the refrigerator for at least 5 days. Warm-up slices in the microwave, or reheat the entire lasagna (covered with foil) in a 350°F oven until the cheese is bubbly.
