Method:

Pre-heat oven to 350° F.
Cook lasagna noodles according to the instructions printed on packaging until noodles are firm. Mix together ricotta cheese, egg substitute and diced onions in a medium bowl. Layer cooked noodles, ricotta mixture and sauce, adding vegetables ½ of the mozzarella in periodically, into a 12 x 14 inch baking pan. Top layers with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
