Vegetarian Lasagna with Cheese and Spinach

Vegetarian Lasagna with Cheese and Spinach
My take on a classic veggie lasagna is a true crowd-pleaser. Rich flavors of earthy spinach, creamy cheese, and a deep tomato sauce meld together beautifully. This dish is comfort food at its finest - perfect for cozy nights in with loved ones. I love how the flavors seem to deepen and become even more satisfying after a night in the fridge. It's one of those dishes that feels like a big hug in a pan, and I just can't get enough of it.
