This eggplant, pumpkin and spinach vegie lasagna is a fair bit of work and takes a while - but it is absolutly worth every bit of effort. It tastes wonderful and is really healthy. It can be frozen in individual servings and will last for ages. I’ve taken a serve to university for lunch [where i have access to a microwave] about once a week for the last 8 weeks - all from the one batch. Fantastic :D
