                                 Lasagna                                   Vegetarian



             This lasagna can be made ahead and frozen. Prepare all of the steps
             up through step 5, then cover it tightly with plastic wrap and foil.
             When you are ready to enjoy the lasagna, let it thaw overnight in the
             refrigerator. Bake as directed, adding an additional 15 to 20 minutes
             to the bake time. You can also refrigerate it for up to 2 days before
             baking it.

             Perfect Pairing: Serve this classic dish with chopped romaine
             lettuce drizzled with Creamy Caesar Dressing (page 304).
