I regularly make veggie lasagne for Graham, I use either Quorn mince or just lots of veggies That sounds interesting though...

I use Quorn like Rosie but this looks like a tasty recipe Geranium.

Make sure that the Cheese used has been made without the use of Rennet produced from animal source or it is not vegetarian.

Most cheese like cheddar is veggie these days Geumlover. I did some research a while back and synthetic rennet is easier to get than natural.

Tried this, Not enough vegetables in it for us so she layered it up with Courgettes, broad beans, French beans and Swiss chard leaves. Served up with mushrooms and White Beetroot. Did not add stock as that is just pure salt (boss is on a salt free diet) and no Cheese in the sauce (Lactose problem and Cheese is packed full of salt). Very nice though.

Still catching up and I often cook vegetarian meals for veggie friends, so I am very interested. Looks lovely Geranium. We eat vegetarian about 3 days a week.
