Not if you use standard whole-grain pasta; to make it gluten-free, substitute gluten-free lasagna sheets or gluten-free pasta.
Can it be vegan or dairy-free?
Yes. Use dairy-free cheese or omit cheese, and use a plant-based ricotta or tofu filling.

Plan about 20–30 minutes of prep, plus 40–60 minutes of bake, depending on your oven and pan.

Usually about 6 servings, depending on portion size.
How should I store leftovers?
Let cool, then refrigerate in sealed containers for 3–4 days; you can also freeze for longer storage.
Can I freeze this lasagna (before or after baking)?
Yes. Assemble and freeze before baking, or freeze a baked lasagna; thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Can I customize the vegetables or fillings?
Absolutely. Use what you have—spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, peppers—just keep the layers balanced and don’t overfill.

Reheat gently in the oven or microwave with a splash of sauce, until hot all the way through.
