Easy vegetarian lasagne that won’t make you miss the meat version!
Lasagne are one of my favourite dishes ever. However, with a husband who doesn’t eat red meat, I am constantly experimenting with alternatives. You may remember the smoked salmon and courgette lasagne that I posted in the summer!
Today I wanted to share with you another meat-less lasagne version.
Pesto lasagne are one of my mum’s specialties. She’s been making them for years and I love how tasty they are! And they are so easy and quick too, with very little hands-on involvement! Absolutely perfect for a comforting mid-week meal or a low-effort lazy weekend lunch with the family that I can guarantee everyone will love!
