I love lasagna and especially vegetable lasagna. I have used this filling in Ricotta, over rice, mixed with noodles, and a filling for lasagna. The vegetable base makes a great filling for stuffed pepper. Chinese cucumbers are large and easy to cook with. If you do not have Chinese cucumbers in your market you may substitute zucchini or other varieties of cucumbers in this filing.

I found this wonder homemade vegan mozzarella cheese recipe one day when searching on the Internet. The recipe is simple and the cheese is wonderful. For my family I make the cheese the day before. I would like to suggest using this cheese recipe when making the vegetable lasagna. http://jennshaggy.blogspot.com/2009/04/home-made-vegan-mozzarella-that-melts.html

My Grandchildren adore Ricotta and the filling is wonderful with Ricotta noodles. Prepare the Ricotta noodles according to directions on the box and added to a rectangle baking dish. Pour the sauce mixture over the noodles, mix well and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes until the cheese melts and turns slightly brown.
