The Dinner Series - Shepherds Lasagna

In an effort to eat healthier (and maybe even lose a little weight) we have decided to eat as clean as possible. During my research I found a recipe book that was about using mountain bread instead of pasta. Using this as my inspiration I made lasagne today replacing the pasta sheets with mountain bread and a little twist on top. Hope you enjoy...
