My meatless lasagne is made with puy lentils. Usual tomato sauce mix, but lentils instead of meat. Or, you could just add roast mix veg to the tomato sauce base, and continue the regular lasagne recipe.

I make spinach lasagna. It is layers of noodle, cooked spinach, cheese and topped with bechamel sauce... that's a cheese sauce made with white sauce and grated Parmesan cheese. Only takes an ounce and tastes great. My non-spinach eating son loves it.

Susie,
Including me, there will be 9 of us at the Italian Murder Mystery dinner party.
I am starting with an antipasti charcuterie tray. Then first course is Pastina soup. Next is main course of stuffed shells, meatballs, sausage links and garlic bread.
Last ... but never least .... an Italian Ricotta cream cheesecake

Thank, JoAnne. Sounds good, but I guess I would need to double the recipe to serve 9. Which would not be difficult. Are there really 36 shells in one box? That sounds like a lot for a lb. Of pasta? Could this have been a typing error? In any event, this sounds like a recipe worth trying.

Jogging thru my memory, pretty sure you will use 18 shells and still have left over (uncooked)shells. Not to worry, they will be great.
