VEGETABLE PASTITSIO WITH LENTILS
I adapted this recipe from the Moosewood celebrates cook book. They call for egg plant but didn't have any and it has marginal nutritional value. I think this recipe works well with any variety of vegetables. I also used gouda cheese instead of feta because that is what I had on hand.
