You have to have at least one ‘classic’ lasagna on a list such as this. Don’t be fooled though—it’s by no means mediocre. Also, these guys clearly know what they’re doing considering that they’re combining beef, pork and veal mix. Honestly, doing this makes a huge difference.
2. Eggplant and Herb Lasagna

Whenever I see ‘vegetarian lasagna’ on a menu I tend to cringe. In my experience, it almost always turns out to be soggy and flavorless. You won’t be having that problem with this delicious eggplant based dish.
3. Chocolate Peanut Butter Lasagna
Yeah, you read that correctly.
You asked for mind-blowing recipes and you’re getting it in the form of a perfect dessert lasagna. Besides, you guys should know by now that I’m all about mixing it up when it comes to traditional flavors. Hell, I just like making desserts out of stuff that is supposed to be savory.

Another perfect example of how vegetarian lasagnas can be just as delicious as a meat-filled one. Mushroom’s are great for this purpose because they are quite substantial and ‘meaty’ themselves.
