Easiest Veg Lasagne



Its a long due post considering that i have been away from writing for quite some time now. And when you come back to something after a long break, you want to approach it with the best of your tools.

So here comes my famous lasagne. One thing which is truly special about this dish is that its a Fool Proof recipe. No matter what is your level of expertise in kitchen, this has to turn out well. 

Also you might have moments where your lasagne sheets will tear during boiling or handling, but just Don't Stop.When everything comes together, it is pure awesomeness.
