i got some vegan cheese. i want to add veggies but i dont know which ones. i think zuchini, maybe some yellow squash. idunno help me|||Broccoli. carrots are a good combo together with squash and zuchini|||Zucchini is bad in lasagna, BECAUSE it is all water- it all releases a lot of water and ends up tasteless,
You have to cook it before- like fry it, r roast them til they have got rid of their water, instead of putting them raw in the lasagna.
SO make sure you do that, but I wouldn't use courgettes in lasagna, they are such a delicate taste, and lasagna is creamy and maybe cheesy- yellow squash is the same thing. It turns to mush when you cook it with a load of sauce, and they colours aren't that pretty- it does look ugly and beige.
UNLESS you roast or fry those squash- in butter and with onions. THey should be browned and crispy, and have been cooked long enough before going into the lasagna.
the only thing lasagna is MADE for is wild mushrooms IMO.
Wild mushrooms are fantastic, they add really earhty nutty flavour.
USe poortobellos, enoki, oyster, button and crimini mushrooms. You can cook them too, beforehand0 they release a lot of liquid, but unlike squash, this liquid is nice tasting and ends up like a rich mushroom gravy, so it ends up becoming a flavour enhancer. You do not drink zucchini gravy!
Fry the mushrooms gently, until they'e reduced half in size, then add tothe top of the lasagna layer, with the sauce underneath the mushrooms- you have to make the bechamel sauce (soymilk, flour, etc, cheese only if you want, it is not necessary).
So Wild mushrooms.
This way- you get the prettiest colours too- the creamy lasagna, or green spinach lasagna, and the cream ysauce, and those browned mushrooms. Lovely.
Then add chopped parsley to serve.
Dark rich flavours work well- broccoli ( although I think it's too acidic for lasagna), asparagus, green peas, dark kale, collards, chopped up, they go so well with the cream y suace.
Another thing which is so good- especially with mushrooms and dark kale- brazil nuts, add some of them in the sauce.|||Mushrooms
Eggplant
spinach
Zucchini is a good choice.
I would make the sauce more like a Ratatouille. That would be hearty and able to handle the pasta and not run all over when you cut the lasagna. If you use a lot of veggies that are watery the sauce may be watery as well.|||We use zucchini, summer squash, mushrooms, eggplant, and it sure is yummy!|||Tomatoes, spinach, zucchini.|||my dad is vegan. he uses spinach in his. it's really good. you can also try to throw some fake chicken in there, yuuum|||Spinach is very good in lasagna.|||spinage lasagna is very good(I know that is not spelled right)|||I would use sweetcorn, green peas and diced carrots.|||i usually put red peppers,parsley and pepper
