This was an orphan recipe here on JAP. I adopted it. :) I also added a little more black pepper and optional red pepper flakes. This is a good vegetable lasagna recipe. I especially like using the Swiss cheese and mushrooms in it.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your lasagna. Look for broccoli that is deep green in color and has tight florets, and use fresh garlic and onions.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its flavor. Blanch the broccoli for just 2-3 minutes, or until it is tender-crisp.
- Use a creamy and flavorful sauce: The sauce is what brings all the flavors of the lasagna together. Use a creamy sauce made with béchamel or Alfredo sauce, and add some Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
- Layer the lasagna correctly: Start by spreading a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Then, add a layer of noodles, followed by a layer of broccoli, a layer of sauce, and a layer of cheese. Repeat this process until you have used up all of the ingredients.
- Bake the lasagna until it is golden brown and bubbly: Bake the lasagna in a preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the noodles are tender.
Conclusion:
This creamy broccoli lasagna is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy sauce, tender broccoli, and melted cheese, this lasagna is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
