Living Lasagna

This recipe is from Sarah Comerchero.
I will admit I was somewhat intimidated when I first saw the recipe. I thought it looked too involved and required knife skills I simply don’t possess. Happily, I was wrong! The recipe came together much faster than I expected and was definitely worth the effort. Sarah, Thanks for sharing your delicious Living Lasagna! ~Kris

I haven’t met a vegetarian or omnivore who has not loved this recipe and is totally fascinated by it. It takes some prep time but with this big batch my fiancé and I can look forward to a delicious dinner all week long! It looks beautiful in presentation and gives an explosion of fresh, bright flavors. It’s so easy to modify to your taste preferences and once you make it a few times you can do it by heart
