The cheesiest, gooiest, BEST Vegetarian Lasagna for dinner tonight. All of the goodness of classic lasagna, but lightened up with zucchini, roast pumpkin and ricotta.

Meal Prep:

A bit of a healthy twist on the classic feel-good dish! & even better, it can be made ahead of time and frozen for when you need a quick weeknight dinner. It will also keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days
