I would suggest the following, it is very tasty. Stouffer's Vegetable Lasagna

The sauce is a light white sauce. Make a roux with about 1/3 cup flour and 1/3 cup melted butter. Add three cups of milk, 1 tsp salt, and a pinch of nutmeg. Stir constantly til thickened over a medium flame, or you can make it in a microwave in a large glass mixing bowl.

Mix the veggies you named with 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 2 cups mozzarella cheese, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 egg. Mix together well.

Put a small amount of the sauce on the bottom of the pan, followed by a layer of noodles, veggie mix, sauce, repeat til you've used it all up. Top with buttered bread crumbs and bake at 400 covered til bubbly, 45-60 minutes, depending on the pan you use. Remove cover and allow to brown for about ten minutes. Remove from oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes. before cutting and serving.

This recipe is for using cooked noodles, but you can use uncooked noodles by adding 3/4 cup more milk to the sauce.

* If you do not want to make it from scratch, you can always find it in the frozen food section of the grocery store.

SORRY for for not comprehending your question but I am not going erase my previous answer but just add on to it with a different idea. This guy even shows you how to make it. Vegan Bean Enchiladas, you can also find some other delicious recipes on this link but I went with the enchiladas because I love them. http://www.chooseveg.com/enchiladas.asp

I do believe this is the most serious answer I have given today.

Please Vegans, do not get all out of your box because of my error in reading comprehension, no need to give me a thumbsdown because my meal menu is larger than yours. I respect your lifestyle choice.

See Sassy, that is what you get for giving a serious answer in another section. I am feeling kind and gave everyone above me a thumbs up. Aren't random acts of kindness just beautiful???
