There are a lot of great meals you can make when you are a vegetarian from Mexican food to Chinese cuisine and even Italian food like lasagna.

Vegetarian lasagna is made in a much similar fashion as regular lasagna only it is made without meat, and sometimes without cheese if you eschew dairy in your vegetarian diet.

There are lots of vegetarian lasagna recipes you can find both in cookbooks as well as on the Internet.  You can even modify your own lasagna recipe to be vegetarian with a little creativity and experimentation.
