I'm addicted to this and I always pay way too much for it at the Veggie store. I know it has mushrooms and ricotta. Also red/yellow pepers inside.
You mean Bechamel sauce. Yummy!!!

Serve with a green salad and a crusty bread roll. Enjoy!
By the way, don't forget my dinner invitation when you make it!!!
You can always take a meat lasagna recipe and just omit the meat from the sauce. Or you can add some veggie meat or TVP.
For homemade bechamel sauce:
Melt one stick of butter and whisk in 1/2 cup flour + an extra tbsp or 2. Stir for about two minutes to cook the flour. Then add 1 quart of milk (whole is best but you can use skim too) and whisk until smooth. Simmer for about 10 minutes until thick. Remove from heat and stir in a pinch if nutmeg and salt and white pepper to taste.
While the sauce is cooking, saute veggies like mushrooms, onions, garlic, zucchini, spinach, or whatever else you like.
Layer veggies with the cheese and sauce and bake. (350 for 45 min to an hour ). Put aluminum foil over for most of the cooking and remove the last 10-15 min.
