Vegan Lasagna
Takes ,
Serves 8
Ingredients:
- 1 package (10 ounce) Lasagna Pasta
- 3 tablespoons olive oil + more for drizzling
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 15.5 ounces soft tofu, crumbled
- 7 ounces baby spinach
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup vegan ricotta
- 26 ounce jar tomato sauce
- 2 medium-sized tomatoes, sliced into rounds
- 8 ounce bag shredded mozzarella vegan cheese
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of water with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon olive oil to a boil. When boiling, add pasta and cook until “al dente” (not overly cooked).
- In a large skillet or saucepan, add 3 tablespoons olive oil and diced onion. Saute until translucent. Add minced garlic and crumbled tofu. Cook until tofu has become lightly golden, about 7 minutes. Add baby spinach and cook until wilted. Add ¼ cup nutritional yeast and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. To assemble lasagna:
- Add large spoonful of tomato sauce to bottom of 9×13 inch pan and spread evenly. Arrange ¼ of cooked lasagna noodles in the bottom of a baking pan, overlapping if necessary. Spoon half the tofu/spinach mixture over the noodles and spread evenly. Spoon some tomato sauce on top.
- Add more cooked lasagna noodles. Spoon all of ricotta over the noodles and spread evenly. Spoon more tomato sauce on top.
- Add more cooked lasagna noodles and spoon the other half of the tofu/spinach mixture over the noodles and spread evenly. Spoon more tomato sauce on top.
- Add last of the cooked noodles, and top with remaining tomato sauce. Add fresh tomato slices in a single layer, and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle vegan mozzarella evenly and top with 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast.
- Bake in oven for 30-45 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Store leftovers in the fridge and eat within a week. Enjoy!
