Blue Ribbon Recipe by

We love vegetables in this family, but one vegetable doesn't make the cut - onions. I have an allergy to them, so they need to be left out. Every recipe for veggie lasagna I had ever seen included onions, so I created my own onion-free veggie lasagna. It's delish!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This veggie lasagna is a tasty twist on a classic dish. The combination of red and green peppers, zucchini, eggplant, and broccoli adds color, flavor, and texture to the casserole. Using lasagna noodles and red pasta sauce is traditional and provides a familiar base for the dish. Cottage cheese adds creaminess to the filling without being too heavy. Shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese create a gooey and slightly crispy cheesy layer. This is a super delicious veggie-packed lasagna recipe.
