Classic long-simmered red sauce that i add vegan ground beef, italian sausage, and home roasted red peppers (and a chili or two). Bechamel, which i add white pepper and nutmeg to. Pesto, with fresh basil from my indoor plant and some nicely toasted pine nuts, with a parm-style seasoning. Two egg plants, cut into circles, salted, and roasted, to add a surprise layer in the middle. Blanche your lasagna sheets in salted water, and then toss in the pesto. Bottom layer sauce, sheet, sauce, sheet, eggplant, sauce, sheet, sauce, bechamel, and sprinkle with shredded mozz. Place salted tomato slices on top, and drizzle some olive oil and sprinkle some dried oregano over the tomatos. Bake at 375f until the bechamel bubble, the mozzeralla is bubbling and browned, and the tomatoes have caramelized. I like to broil it for an extra thirty seconds or so. Let rest for 20 minutes. Eat, and then nap immediately.
