I so can't do recipes. I just make what seems good.
Though for vegetarian lasagna, a good thing to do is to roast vegetables and use them in place of the meat. I usually use eggplant and zucchini, roasted with some mushrooms, onions (not too many), and carrots.
I usually mix spinach and garlic into the ricotta -- and I do use frozen spinach that has been defrosted, rinsed and drained so it doesn't all become a watery mess.
But the specifics beyond that? It's all guesswork and hit and miss.
I also do a great bean chili but all I can say is get the onion, garlic, and peppers going... add beans (I use chick peas -- excellent meaty consistency -- black beans, large kidney beans and either small red or small white beans. The different types of beans keep it interesting. And lots of cilantro. But there's no recipe, just... stuff goes in. It tastes great over spinach, though, with a little cheese on top.
I wish I was more help, but I am an idea-based cook!
