Triple Cheese and Mushroom Lasagne

I could not believe the flavour of this lasagne and it's meat free... it was delicious!! Not to mention light and healthy something I needed after the Christmas Food Festival that's for sure. I am sure that you all understand what I mean.

The serving sizes looked small but to everyone's surprise it was very filling. An easy lasagne to prepare especially as there was no Bechamel Sauce to make. Full of mushrooms and a nice not overpowering tomato sauce I could eat a lot of this.
