Mushroom Satay Skewers

Vegetarian Lasagna with a Mushroom and Eggplant Ragu

This winner has been coming for a while. I’ve made different versions of it so many times. You can add extra layers of sliced vegetables if you like but it’s perfect as is. A rich vegetarian ragu full of umami flavour layered with cheesy sauce and silky pasta. Oh yes.
