EASY VEGETABLE LASAGNA

THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS RECIPE IS THAT NOT ONLY IS IT VERY HEALTHY, YOU CAN PUT WHAT EVER VEGETABLE YOU DESIRE IN IT.  I LIKE TO PUT VEGGIE CRUMBLE IN MY SAUCE TO GIVE IT THE TEXTURE OF MEAT.  THIS RECIPE CAN ALSO BE FROZEN FOR UP TO 3 MONTHS FOR LATER ENJOYMENT.  ENJOY AND HAPPY COOKING.
