Meat free meal - Most of us love a good lasagne, but making all the sauces can really be time consuming. This recipe takes no time at all, just make sure all your vegetables are pre-cooked and seasoned. If you eat this blind- folded, you would think you were eating pasta, not tortilla's. Easy for kids to create. You can also add cooked meat and plenty of herbs.
