Vegetable Bread Lasagna

PIZZA SAUCE AND WHITE SAUCE

Preparing Lasagna has become a simple task now. You just need marinara and white sauce read, it will be ready in no time. No Lasagna sheets used  here. Just few bread slices replacing Lasagna sheets.
I got this idea from my friend "Priya Mani" and my Co-sis Ashwini Raghavender, who posted their recipe in CAL (Chef at large). Thanks a lot to you both. It seemed so yummy which prompted me to try this. Making some changes, I came out with this Vegetable Bread Lasagna. It can either be served as a starter or as main dish, if preferred, along with toasted bread. It is absolutely rich and creamy, which will melt in your mouth so easily.
Now, I cannot wait to share my own version of Vegetable Bread Lasagna with you all
