New Year’s Day I was looking for something easy and comforting to make for dinner. I stumbled upon a recipe using oven ready lasagna noodles and converted it to a vegetarian version by using Morning Star Crumbles instead of ground beef. The prep was simple and the results were delicious. Who thought lasagna could be this easy?
