Just looking online for a nice recipe. Found one that needs a pound of cherry tomatoes skinning, have I got time or inclination for that????? NO

Then found one that needed aubergines treating for an hour to remove the bitterness, have I got time or inclination for that??????? NO

So does anyone have an easy tasty vegetable lasagne please. I don't mind chopping, just don't fancy peeling, soaking etc

Delia's roasted veg one is nice.
I never salt aubergines - apparently older varieties might have needed it, but modern ones aren't bitter.
And just use a tin of tomatoes instead of all those cherry ones - or leave them whole

How about a semi traditional one, but with mixed beans instead of meat?

Soften chopped onions, celery and carrots, plus your herbs, then add the tomatoes (tin, passata or purée) and a veg stock cube and reduce the sauce. Season, then simply add a tin, or two, of mixed beans.

Build the lasagne and cook as normal.

I'm not sure I've ever used an actual recipe I just chop onion, celery, carrot if I have it, start those frying, then add eg peppers, courgettes, aubergine, maybe mushrooms. Add garlic, herbs, seasoning, tin tomatoes, cook till it looks/tastes nice.
Layer with the lasagne and put white sauce on top - I don't add white sauce to the layers, and often just make it in the microwave with cornflour. Grate parmesan all over and bake

That might have been better, didn't think of that, I am used to making a normal one. I have bought everything to do the Delia roasted vegetable one, but couldn't get capers, so will have to be without those

It'll be lovely

I made the Delia one, it was lovely thanks Di

Awww, at least something went right this week MM (((x)))
