Lentil Lasagna

Lentil Lasagna with Frozen Vegetables: A Meal Prep Classic Lasagna is a classic dish that is perfect for meal prepping. It's filling, hearty, and can be customized in so many ways. One of our favorite lasagna recipes is lentil lasagna with frozen mixed vegetables. It's not only delicious but also a great option for meal prep, thanks to the use of multiple 8x6 inch baking dishes.   This recipe starts with cooked lentils and frozen mixed vegetables, which are sautéed with onions and garlic before being combined with marinara sauce and a blend of dried herbs. The mixture is layered with oven-ready lasagna noodles and a mixture of shredded mozzarella cheese and cottage cheese. Finally, the lasagna is baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly. One of the great things about this recipe is that it can be easily scaled up or down to make as much or as little as you need. The use of 8x6 inch baking dishes means that you can make multiple smaller lasagnas, which are perfect for meal pr
