Veggie Lasagne? Or is it?

I made that veggie lasagne last night.  Turned out really good.  A carnivorous friend that was over stated "It  really tastes like it has meat."  That's the best compliment you can get.  Do I long for the day that I don't have to hide the veggies in the dinner and the kids will still eat it?  You bet!  But for now, this will do.

Some tricks:  Veggie ground round.  Whole wheat flour in the pasta dough.  Made the sauce in a normal way but finely chopped the carrots, celery, cabbage, onions, mushrooms to hide them from the kids.  Also, I added a whole acorn squash that I roasted in the oven first.  My kids like a sweeter tomato sauce so the sweetness of the squash was easily hidden.  I built the lasagne with the pasta, the sause, ricotta cheese and a little mozzarella.  Looked like a normal lasagne.  Tasted delicious!
