This rich cheesy lasagna has become one of my specialties. It's packed with fresh-tasting vegetables like spinach, carrots, red pepper and broccoli. I'm never afraid to serve the colorful casserole to guests, since it's always a huge success. -Kimberly Kneisly, Englewood, Ohio

This lasagna was a disaster! The noodles were overcooked and the cheese was rubbery. I will not be making this again.
