5 Cheese Lasagna
This Gruyere vegetarian lasagna is actually made with five different types of cheese, but it’s the Gruyere that is the star of the dish.
Ricotta, mozzarella, Asiago, parmesan and Gruyere are layered with pasta, tomato sauce and Italian seasoning.
This is great for vegetarians, but is satisfying enough for all to enjoy.
Gruyere is a cows milk cheese that comes from Gruyères, which is a town in Switzerland.
The taste of this cheese is nutty and a bit sweet, which is a tasty addition to the traditional lasagna flavors.
Lasagna looks impressive, but is simple to assemble and bake.
If you’ve got leftovers, it is wonderful reheated the next day.
