We plant a garden each year and adapt this recipe according to the current fresh veggies on hand. The tomatoes and tomato sauce are home canned, low sodium, but you can use canned items from the store but adjust the sodium accordingly. I do not add any additional salt so you may want to adjust for your taste. This is a large "doubled" recipe that is great for Sunday brunch. It freezes well so you can enjoy one pan of lasagna for dinner now and freeze the second one for convenience another day.
