A good veggie lasagne does take a bit of preparation but it's not hard to do and the results are well worth the effort.
And unlike traditional lasagne made with whole milk and full fat cheese this roast vegetable lasagne is low in saturated fat, with less than 200mg of sodium and with so many veggies and it's loaded in fibre, vitamins and antioxidants.

800 grams vine-ripened tomatoes, cut in half

1 cup basil, chopped

3 cloves garlic, peeled

30 ml olive oil

500 grams mushrooms, quartered

400 grams pumpkin, cut into small slices
