Vegetable Lasagne with Pesto/Alfredo sauce and Sausage.
I almost didn't put this recipe up because it took me a couple of hours to make. However it was delicious and my husband made me promise to share it. So if you have some time try this lasagne. To be fair I'm kind of slow at cutting vegetables, it was my first time attempting this recipe, and I made way too much sauce, but I adjusted it in this hub. So it may take you less time then me, ha ha. If you do try it, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Anything with Alfredo sauce has my name on it!
I'm actually going to be making Lasagna this weekend, however because my husband is lactose-intolerant it will be dairy free. Too bad because I would prefer yours. Thank you for sharing this!
