A multi-colored lasagne has been on our wishlist for a long time! We thought it might be too complicated or time-consuming to make, but it turns out this rainbow lasagna is surprisingly simple. It doesn’t take much longer to prepare than a regular lasagna. Even better, it includes three different types of vegetables, providing a variety of colors and nutrients. Eat the rainbow!
