Notes

  • You can use ricotta cheese instead of Paneer/cottage cheese
  • You can add more veggies along with zucchini, like eggplant, spinach, mushroom etc.
  • If making ahead, you can cover it and refrigerate it unbaked up to 2 days.
  • Baked lasagna can freeze as well. Let it cool completely on a rack before freezing, and then wrap it well with foil.
