In the same pan, add a little more oil and heat up the tomato sauce, add the carrots and cooked lentils.

In an oven safe Pyrex, brush with a little bit of oil, add a layer of zucchini, tomato sauce, vegetables, drops of yogurt, parmesan cheese if desired, and a layer of raw spinach. Add a little bit of olive oil salt and pepper and repeat. Finish with a layer of zucchini on top, a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper, and parmesan cheese.

Notes
This lasagna can be served with salad.
You can use quinoa instead of lentils or use both at the same time.
I used shitake mushrooms for this recipe, but you can use baby bella, white, or portobello.
If you don’t have a mandolin, use your knife.
Bake your lasagna in a round, square or rectangle pyrex. Whatever is more convenient for you.
If you have zucchini and vegetables left over, you can make individual lasagnas and freeze them for another day.
