Healthy wholefood lasagna

This is my own lasagna recipe, which has evolved over time to where it is now. In my usual fashion, this meal is light on the fat and full of veges and great to make in large batches and freeze for another night. I have tried this without going the extra length of roasting the pumpkin and zucchini but it didn’t have the nice caramelised taste that I was after. It is well worth the extra effort. This is how it is done
