Is there anything more comforting than a good lasagna?
With melted cheese and layers and layers of oozing goodness, I cannot think of anything I’d rather eat – especially during the winter!
But, come to think of it, is there really ever a bad time to eat lasagna? Uh… the answer is NO!
If you’ve followed my blog for any length of time, you probably know that I *try* to create seasonally inspired, low carb recipes and that’s not easy to do with lasagna.
But, I’m going to try…at least, let’s go for a low-ER carb lasagna recipe. Specifically, it’s my Vegetable Lasagna and I really hope you like it!
Let’s get cooking!

I’m new to this freezer coknoig thing, but I’m so excited to join the fun! Question, when it’s time to eat this yummy lasagna roll ups, do you defrost them or just take them straight from the freezer and pop them in the oven? Do you cook them covered? Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! I’m a newlywed and I’ve been searching blogs like yours to gain some homemaker wisdom!
I make a similar recipe and I do cover the lasagna with aluminium foil while it bakes in the oven.
Thanks for answering that one, Susan! I did mention ‘covered with foil’ in Step 8 in the Directions, but perhaps I should have separated that direction into its own Step!
Thanks!
