Red Lentil And Veggie Lasagne

You can’t go wrong on meat free Mondays with this Red Lentil And Veggie Lasagne.

It’s very hearty and filling, so much so that you probably won’t miss the mince at all.

In fact, this Red Lentil And Veggie Lasagne has all the markings of a traditional lasagne, but with a super yummy cottage cheese top that negates the white sauce it’s a breeze to make.
