Vegetable Lasagna II

This is a special family recipe that originated with my sister-in-law, Amanda.  I think that she made it for us once, and we all loved it!  Now the recipe is a staple in our house.  It is pretty fail-proof.  My only comment about this lasagna recipe is that it is very dependent on the sauce that you use.  All pasta sauces taste different, so use a good sauce that you like.  Thanks for the recipe, Amanda!
