Perfect Vegetable Lasagna | Smitten Kitchen with Deb Perelman

**PERFECT VEGETABLE LASAGNA RECIPE:

A sky-high vegetable lasagna, five layers of noodles, sauce, cheese, and vegetables (that are not an afterthought, for once). The top layer is crackly with melted, deeply bronzed cheese over a thin slick of garlicky tomato sauce and might be the very best reason to make this.

That noodle-soaking trick is a TOTAL game-changer, thank you so much!

Deb, you are the OG of cooking blogs. I never cooked from scratch until I found you (pre social media). Your recipes are top notch and you are so classy. I have never watched a video of you cooking and now I love you even more. Well I take that back, your essay in the NY times over the summer made me feel like we were friends.

I love your suggestion about soaking the lasagna noodles in Hot water. What a great timesaver!

Deb, you are my hero. I found your blog when I was just a teenager and the first thing I made was the Grasshopper Cake and it was a SMASH! Everybody loved it, my friends thought I was some kind of baking genius. That was nearly 10 years ago, now so many of your recipes are in my everyday arsenal when preparing meals for my family. And I wanted to say - thank you!
Lots of love from Estonia!

First time I baked lasagne. Used of your recipe . My kiddo liked it so much! Thank you !

This looks SO yummy! If you add eggs to the ricotta (as my Italian grandmothers did), it will not be dry. We always season it with salt and pepper and oregano or parsley or Italian seasoning.

I have made this a few times, and I typically use Barilla noodles. I find the noodles come out quite gummy even after baked! I now boil them for five minutes. Just in case anyone else uses that brand, thought this might help. 😊

I love these and you! I have your Smitten Kitchen cookbook and it is my favorite. I know it's my most used because it has the most spills and smears on all the pages. I have no idea how people keep their cookbooks so pristine. Thank you for all the wonderful, DOABLE recipes! Oh! and would love to see you make your heart-stuffed shells in lemon ricotta sauce. It is my favorite!!!

You’ve helped me fall in love with cooking again. Thank you for this incredible recipe and your passion!❤

I am so happy to see your video! I love your channel and your books.

I made this recipe for the first yesterday and it's the best veggie lasagna I've ever had.

[signeknudsen]

Lots of good tips here. Smooth and pleasant presentation!

I just made this (chestnut mushrooms, courgette, red bell pepper, carrots and spinach) and the tomato sauce was fantastic!

[yllennocj]

my first lasagna ever - turned out great - thank you much

We decided on veg lasagna for easter dinner this year. Yours looks amazing. Will use it at a guide.

[terifarmer]

, Looks delicious, however, i always put brown sugar in my sauce to counteract the acidity, thank you😊 Tip: cut both ends of your tomato paste can push through, no waste,

[debbybrady]

I'm drooling...😄 This is my first time to watch your video. I'm a vegetarian so this will be on my list!

[ceelaurene]

This looks fantastic! Thanks for the great tips.

[Mishaseymour]

Really enjoyed this as you are a great teacher . I love the video and your charming personality. I am a very experienced home cook and baked. However, I have never made a lasagna . I will make this one now thanks to your encouragement !

Just made this with all the vegetables from my Oregon garden: chard instead of spinach, zucchini, green and poblano peppers, walla walla onions, crookneck squash and japanese eggplants. Only problem? I didn't watch the math carefully. My box of lasagna noodles only had 16; for this recipe, you need 20 noodles for the 5 layers. At the end I just crammed all the leftover, ricotta, veggies, sauce onto the top before adding the final layer of noodles but it came out delicious. There was some overflow of sauce so the tray underneath definitely came in handy to avoid oven mess. And it is not dry nor soggy but nice consistency. Loved it as did my family.
