Two family members have severe dairy allergies, therefore no cheese. We all love lasagne, so I had to come up with an alternative to the traditional cheese filled dish and still have it appealing visually as well as taste. Omit the meat and it is a tasty vegetarian dish. Mozzarella cheese can be added on one end for those lucky ones who can eat it.
