Favorite Brand Name Recipes, Great Vegetarian Meal Three-Cheese Vegetable Lasagna

I use to buy a frozen single serving white vegetable lasagna that was very good. They don't make it anymore and I have thought of making it myself. Lots of vegetable lasagnas still have a tomato sauce but this recipe seems like it would be like the frozen brand with one exception. I definitely would not use canned mixed vegetables, I seriously dislike them, I always use frozen mixed veggies. The recipe is from Great Vegetarian Meals, it is a Favorite Brand Name Recipes grocery store booklet.
