Vegetable Lasagna for two. A small batch of lasagna for two people made with roasted vegetables.
Anytime I slide a giant pan of vegetables into the oven to roast, I feel like I'm winning at life. If I can cover the vegetables in layers of cheese and pasta, well, then I feel like I should start working on a killer award acceptance speech. Does vegetable lasagna make you as happy as it makes me?
I used a standard-sized bread loaf pan to make two generous servings of lasagna for two. I love a giant pan of lasagna, but sometimes, by the 4th day of leftovers, I find myself grumbling and saying less-than-kind things to the pan in the fridge. I'm not the best at wrapping and freezing extra portions (I won't even tell you what strange leftover I found at the bottom of my freezer the other day), so perfectly portioned lasagna for two suits me better.
Vegetable Lasagna for Two:
I also love that since I'm the only goat cheese lover in this house, I can make a loaf pan for me, and another pan for my husband without goat cheese. I substitute gouda for him. Really, use your favorite veggies and cheese. You can customize this recipe to your heart's content. I love it when that happens.
For the vegetable layer, I used vegetables that have a tendency to get sweeter and more intense in the oven: zucchini, mushrooms, cauliflower and red bell pepper. If other vegetables speak to you more, please, use them! I'm imagining a broccolini-portobello version next. And I would love to find a way to work in roasted potatoes, because hello, double carbs!
I think the mushrooms are essential for their meatiness, but if you're not a fan, eggplant is great, too. This time of year, cauliflower makes its way into almost everything in my kitchen. If you're looking for something to do with the rest of the head, you shouldn't miss my crispy cauli 'n kale from last week.
Don't be daunted by the amount of vegetables on the pan; they shrink quite a bit after roasting. But, look at you eating all those vegetables! Health looks good on you. I'll be sure to tell your Mom.
While the veggies roast, make a quick bechemel, crumble the goat cheese, and grab the box of no-boil lasagna noodles. Oh, don't forget the sun-dried tomatoes! I've been eating them like chips lately. I'm not quite sure what it is with me and red foods, but I can't get enough!
Pour two glasses of wine, and you're all set for date night with this Vegetable Lasagna for Two.

For reals though. This is all for me. :)

This must smell AMAZING while it's roasting!! And I totally agree about the leftovers and making a smaller pan of lasagna. My freezer is full of frozen leftover that I'm too scared to even clean! Oh, and vodka ;)

There is nothing more I love than roasted vegetables!

This looks amazing! I am definitely pinning it. Also, my husband has requested that I bake every single recipe from your cookbook, so I am making my way through it one recipe at a time (my goal is 1 a week!) Two down, many more yummies to go!
Of course, I had to supplement your cookbook recipes with your blog recipes, so I also finally tried your marshmallows. Thank you for encouraging me to cook out of my comfort zone!

I heart lasagna like no other. One of my favorite meals! Believe it or not, I've never made a white lasagna before so thank you for the recipe!
Jessica @ Citrus Blossom Bliss says
Having lasagna more than twice leftover makes me grumble really not-so-nice things, too! Glad I'm not the only one. This veggie lasagna looks great! I've been looking for fun ways to eat more vegetables and covering them in cheese is something I can get on board with :)

I feel like I'm winning at life when I eat any veggies. Lol. But cover them in cheese and put them on some noodles and I'm game!

im totally the same way with leftovers. I'm usually two days max and then I'm bored with them and craving something else. LOVE this veggie packed lasagna. Perfect for my little family of two. :)

I love lasagna, but since moving out with the boyfriend I can't justify making a huge one for just the two of us. And given that I'm vegetarian and he's most definitely not...things get a little messy in the lasagna department. But making this two serve version would be a great compromise - just add a side of meatballs for a happy man :) And maybe a glass of wine or two for a special date night in!
