18 Swoon-Worthy Lasagnas to Cheese Up Your Next Meatless Monday
The list of tasty eats to whip up on a #MeatlessMonday is endless… especially when it comes to our favorite: comfort food! When the weather outside is frosty, vegetarian chili is just the thing to settle in with. There are also veggie stuffed peppers for when you’re craving something filling, vegetarian risotto for when you want a warming rice platter and make-ahead casseroles for when “easy” is a MUST. With growing interest in turning classic dishes into vegetarian meals, we take great satisfaction in knowing that we will *never* run out of appetizing and absolutely delicious options to make on Mondays. We’re adding these 18 scrumptious veggie-filled lasagnas to that delicious list.
1. Four Cheese and Mushroom Rolled Lasagna: A lasagna doesn’t have to be built layer by layer; rolling ’em up is a perfect way to enjoy the essence of the classic comfort food.
