This Easy Vegetable Lasagna is perfect for those who love to meal prep healthy and flavorful weeknight dinners!
Layered with zucchini, onions, spinach and eggplant for a lighter take on traditional lasagna, Heinen’s organic tomato basil pasta sauce makes this recipe even easier. I’ve tried a number of jarred pasta sauces, and Heinen’s assortment is as close to homemade as they come!
