A roasted vegetable puree gives this lasagna a flavorful twist in place of traditional tomato sauce. Another layer of the deeply flavored roasted vegetables provides more flavor, beautiful color and a range of textures from crunchy to tender. Roasting the vegetables before composing the layers not only develops more flavor in the vegetables but cooks out the water in them so this lasagna does not come out soupy. The rich laters of lasagna noodes and cheeses are still present to sustain the homey feel of this ultra-popular comfort food. A simple green salad is a perfect companion to round out your meal.
