For an even richer flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine to the sauce while it simmers. If you want to use regular lasagna noodles and boil them first, omit the vegetable juice. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables, such as zucchini or bell peppers, to customize the lasagna to your liking.
