Notes:

Frozen Vegetable: You may use any combination of Cauliflower / Broccoli / Carrots. Avoid using more than 1/3 Carrots as this can make the lasagna too sweet.

I like to use zucchini noodles in combination with or instead of Whole Wheat pasta noodles.

I use this vegetable sheet cutter with my Stand Mixer to easily make the zucchini noodles.
