This is THE lasagna recipe I have been looking for: no cheese, and featuring vegetables. I made this today for Christmas lunch. I was able to go beyond it being vegetarian to vegan, by using vegan butter and homemade walnut milk for the sauce. My daughter and I loved it! The flavors are subtle and gentle, yet paradoxically rich, but also light. It's a perfect model of "comfort food." This is an absolute winner -- thanks for sharing!
I love vegetable lasagna! I can be a tad picky about it; this looks amazing! I never thought to shred the veggies, I always make them into ribbons. I can't wait to try it this way! Thank you so much for sharing!! ❤
Heavens, Madame Donatella is a machine! She demonstrates grace and expertise in creating that wonderful lasagna and I will try to cook that for our Christmas dinner! Absolutely loved this episode, thank you always, PG team!
I love the difference of this lasagna, compared to our "normal" lasagna. This looks absolutely delicious! Thank you Vicky! Your videoes are always amazing!!! What I'd do to be a fly on the wall. All the places and homes you've been invited to. Just so wonderful ❤❤❤
That looks wonderful. Fennel is too often overlooked and I love it. Her kitchen is great! Love the colors! The bright red design on your merch is fabulous!!Thank you Vicky & Pasta Grannies!❤❤❤
hi Marty, I love fennel too, it's such a versatile vegetable. My all time favourite has to be fennel and orange salad. My family never tire of it! 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
That lasagne looks AMAZEBALLS!!! Thank you for sharing with us and lucky YOU Vicky for being the taster!! Happy Christmas to everyone at Pasta Grannies ♥️ ♥️ Tina ♥️
Indeed it looks like a dish that it is filling but also delicate to the taste. It is a very good idea and I love that we have people also showing their own personal creations instead of classic dishes.
Donatella's lasagna is the best I have ever seen, the combination of ingredients are all my favourites especially fennel. I have often baked them with butter and garlic they are delicious. Thank you Donatella for showing how you make one of the best! and thank you Vicky and team. Happy Christmas to all of you and keep em coming! Ramon x
Another brief shot of a local market. I enjoy those parts of these videos. Donatella’s pasta roller machine is no joke. On the surface, a vegetable lasagna seems like a straightforward dish but I love her skill in the softening of the vegetables, the working of the roué and the making of the pasta. Thanks for another great episode!
Wait, if you're gonna lower the Pasta Grannie age to 45, then I'm gonna audition -- I love Donatella's personality and hair, too! What a beautiful lasagna. It makes me think of my sister, who always made a vegetarian lasagna for me on the holidays. Thanks very much Vicky and Donatella for sharing this recipe. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
It's true, Donatella is a youngster at 68! The good news is, hopefully we can go back to her for another recipe in 10 years time! 😁 Happy holidays to you too 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
@@pastagrannies VICKY!! You ALWAYS make me smile. Thanks for such good news: Donatella definitely does NOT look her age. And return visits would be great! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊💛
I made this lasagna it is absolutely the best. No meat so it's light but the bechamel and vegetables are so tasty. It was also the best looking lasagna on TH-cam! So easy to make, making it again next week. You rock Donatella...USA
My family came from this area and I got my cooking chops from my grandmother (vó vó) and mother. They used to make a pumpkin ravioli from this area that was to die for! Molto grazie!
Perfection as usual , show should be named "pasta grannies' perfect recipes" i am a big fan of vegetable lasagna & i am not a vegetarian , i am irish and a big meat & seafood eater. God Bless you Ma'am
hi Steve, I've just started writing book three, the working title of which is 'Nonna Approved' and one could easily add 'perfect recipes' to the subtitle 😁 best wishes Vicky
Auguri Buon Natale a tutti, Christmas is a big celebration in all households, each region of Italy has it's specialities. In the Avellino region for Christmas Eve is all about fish dishes with pasta, zeppole, baccalà, calmari, anguille, etc... Merry Happy Christmas to all. The Lord is the reason for the season🙏💖🕊️🥰🤗
@pastagrannies thank-you Vicky Merry Christmas to you and yours and thank-you for keeping our Italian dishes and traditions alive for many of us are children of Italian immigrants scattered around the world. Glad you make Italy your home. Arrivederci e grazie per tua amicizia 🙏🙏🙏🤗🥰👏🤝💖🕊️
Donatella can add any ingredient she wants & it is going to be delicious, simple as that , not that it is a simple recipe dish to make , but it is simply going to be delicious.
Brava! Apart from being beautiful, this is an excellent dish to make if you don't eat meat. It contains complete protein as it uses eggs and milk. Not getting enough of complete protein (meaning protein including all essential aminio acids, which are indispensable organic compounds needed for our survival that cannot be synthesized from scratch by the human body fast enough to supply its demand, and therefore must come from the food we consume) is common among vegetarians and especially vegans. Furthermore, while soy beans and legumes in general are rich in protein they do not contain 100% complete protein. This is of utmost importance to be aware of. Although I haven't tasted this particular vegetarian lasagne, I'm sure it's delicious. Note how it's made without any herbs. Italians use less herbs than people in other countries (like Sweden, where I'm from) tend to believe. For instance, traditional bolognese sauce, ragù bolognese, never has any herbs in it. Even if Italians certainly do use herbs in some dishes, the outstanding quality of Italian vegetables and many other ingredients makes boosting the flavour with a lot of herbs and spices unnecessary. Personally, I eat meat, but I'll be making this dish (with cheese though) and serve a friend of mine who doesn't. Thanks for yet another astonishing video!
Thank you so much Donatella!! Oh that looks so good! I want to make it the same way but my husband won't eat fennel. Wondering about using celery instead? Or is there something else I should substitute?
When making lasagna with fresh pasta, why do some people par boil the pasta sheets and others don’t? I see in this video she did par boil, I never have as that’s the way I learned. It always comes out well.
New priest likes to see the kids in groups once a week and they have a meal together and "if the kids are good everything is good". Red flag red goddam flag. Has Europe not yet learned you don't leave kids unsupervised with kids. Bloody hell
SO NICE to see a veggie dish now & then .....
I try to put as many vegetarian dishes as possible into the line up as I'm fond of them myself 😁 🌺 best wishes, Vicky
Aww Donatella! You did an amazing job, the lasagne looks yummy!!

I just made it vegan as well, with vegan butter and West Life soy milk...it was SO good! Everyone loved it (non-vegans included) 🤗
That lasagna looked amazing, and such a gracious host.
Another great episode. The lasagna looks wonderful! And what a pretty kitchen! Thanks again for introducing us to another gem of a “Granny”
I love love love everything about this … Donatella , her beautiful kitchen and so simple and delicious lasagna ❤.
So delighted to have a vegetarian recipe this week! Can't wait to make this! 🫶🥕🧅
It's a good'un! 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky

I'm glad you enjoyed it Christine! It's multiple steps but not a difficult recipe 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
What sweet lady! We love fennel so this looked really delicious! She’s so speedy…I’d be half a day making this recipe! Buon natale 🎄🇮🇹❄️
Donatella is speedy and organised - and it still took her a couple of hours. Lasagna is one of those 'I won't be rushed' dishes. 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky

@pastagrannies That sounds really good. I should make a point to buy fennel more often. I will do that once I move. On the list! 😁
I made this today, and it was the first time I've ever cooked with fennel. The flavor is lovely!
Thanks for sharing another great recipe with another wonderful friend. For a simple vegetarian dish, this looks so rich and decadent!
That lasagne looks AMAZEBALLS!!! Thank you for sharing with us and lucky YOU Vicky for being the taster!!
Happy Christmas to everyone at Pasta Grannies ♥️

Sembra delizioso e perfetto per me (perché sono vegetariano), brava!
She is so sweet, she seemed a wee bit nervous but she aced it. Im going to attempt it.
I know that would taste so delicious. I really enjoy watching the italians cook
Can’t wait to try this recipe. The finished dish looks delicious!
Beautiful!!!
loved Donatella!
Great cooking as always thank you 🙏
Looks beautiful 😍

Ty ms.Vicky been very busy with my parents estate since they passed away , sorry

@pastagrannies thank-you Vicky Merry Christmas to you and yours and thank-you for keeping our Italian dishes and traditions alive for many of us are children of Italian immigrants scattered around the world. Glad you make Italy your home. Arrivederci e grazie per tua amicizia 🙏🙏🙏🤗🥰👏🤝💖🕊️
👏😋🤗👍🎄🎁🎀☃️ grazie
Excellent!
Looks so good and delicious 😏🤤
This reminds me of one my zia used to make with artichokes!
It’s the Frank Sinatra of pasta grannies ❤️🧡🔥
Nice and light! Not fatty!👍
Donatella can add any ingredient she wants & it is going to be delicious, simple as that , not that it is a simple recipe dish to make , but it is simply going to be delicious.
Very true!
@@pastagrannies I agree 100%
Cucumbers, zucchini, bell peppers, anything with a seed are fruits. Even seedless fruits are fruits. Like Coconut, bananas.

Can you explain on your podcast the difference between pasta making flours and why some doughs are made with just water instead of eggs. Please.
This is great because it also doesn't have parmesan in it which isn't suitable for vegetarians. I can make it for my mother
I'm genuinely curious why semi skimmed? My not a full cream milk?
I wonder what cheese would go here
There's parmigiano of course, but I would experiment with a smoked provola /mozzarella type cheese? 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
The bechamel should use 1/2 liter of milk (half what’s listed in the recipe)

TH-cam is in the process of becoming a paid subscription that will greatly limit viewers from watching your videos.
This "priest" seems like a creepy guy.
I know, right? He wants to see the children at his house?? It's a little sus 🫣
