VEGETARIAN LASAGNA (THAT MEAT EATERS WILL LOVE!)
I came up with this recipe on my own after taking the best from several others I'd tried. The last time I made this for a party, everyone went crazy for it. I received two of the best compliments I've ever received for my cooking. One person told me it was the best lasagna he'd tasted in his life. The other person, an Italian woman, told me this was better than her mother's recipe. On that note, here is the recipe which I prefer to make vegetarian but with the meat variation mentioned at the bottom. Please note that I use ingredients and quantities "by feeling" for this recipe but I've done my best to give you exact measurements. Feel free to contact me with questions.

Steps:
- For this recipe, you are essentially just creating the different elements for the lasagna and then layering them. There is a tomato sauce layer, a pasta layer, a béchamel sauce layer, and a cheese layer.
- Saute the garlic and onion in a large, wide bottomed saucepan.
- Meanwhile chop up your zucchini, mushrooms, and tofu, if using. Size is what you prefer. You can put them through a food processor if you are running short on time or better yet, pass this job to your lowly sous-chef.
- When the onions are nearly softened, add the chopped veggies (and tofu) to the saucepan.
- Once the vegetables are somewhat softened, add the tomato puree, bay leaf, oregano, dried basil, chili powder, salt and pepper. Taste as you go for your preference in saltiness and spiciness. Remember, ambitious guests can always add more spice at the table.
- Bring the tomato sauce to a simmer and then keep it aside on a very low heat.
- Now create the béchamel sauce. Melt the butter into a saucepan and then slowly add the flour, stirring constantly as you go.
- Once the butter and flour are blended, slowly add the milk, again stirring as you do.
- Now add the softened goat cheese to the mixture and stir until blended. Spice the sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. Lastly, let simmer until thickened. Add milk if it thickens too quickly (you want a gravy consistency).
- Now you are ready for assembly. Pour a spoonful of sauce onto the bottom of a large (9x13 inch) baking dish (glass or aluminum) to just cover the surface. Then add a layer of lasagna noodles, a layer of sauce, a layer of mozzarella, and then another layer of lasagna. For the next layer, add a thick layer of the goat cheese bechemal sauce. Continue layering, adding in fresh basil leaves as you like in the middle layers. Finish off with a layer of lasagna topped with mozzarella.
- Bake about 25 minutes in ? degree oven and serve to great delight.
- NOTE: For a more robust tomato sauce, you can use Alan Leonetti's marinara sauce recipe (Recipe #84217), especially if you've made it in advance and frozen it.
- NOTE: Variation With Ground Beef: To make a more traditional meat lasagna I follow the same recipe as above but I omit the tofu (of course!) and the goat cheese. I still use the mushroom and courgette/zucchini but I cut back on the amount. I brown the beef in a separate pan and then combine it in the layer of tomato and vegetable sauce. The addition of the courgette/zucchini and mushroom in with the meat it usually a welcome twist!

MEAT LOVER'S VEGETARIAN LASAGNA
This is one of those recipes that I made up and have fine tuned over the years. Everyone who loves lasagna loves this recipe. Beware though: once you've made this, everyone will request it! Also, don't make this after you've recently cleaned your kitchen - it's messy messy messy! This is great for potlucks and holiday dinners, and it also freezes well.

Steps:
- Combine diced tomatoes and tomato sauce in medium saucepan. Cook over low heat, simmering, until reduced to half of its original volume.
- Saute garlic in olive oil until golden.
- Combine ricotta with herbs and spices in a bowl. When garlic is warm (but not hot), combine with ricotta.
- Combine broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, and artichokes in a bowl.
- In a lasagna or 9 x 13 x 2 pan, place 1/3 of the sauce. Next, place 4 of the noodles, overlapping slightly. Then place 1/3 of the ricotta, spreading thinly. Cover with 1/3 of the vegetables, and then 1/3 of the mozzarella.
- Repeat with two more layers, finally topping with the parmesan.
- Place pan on cookie sheet (this is to catch eventual spills and drips - I told you it was messy) and cover with foil. Refrigerate for at least an hour to give the flavors a chance to blend.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cook for 20 minutes covered with foil, and then 20 - 25 minutes uncovered.
