Vegan Lasagna
Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup dried red lentils (2) 25-ounce jars marinara sauce 1 cup raw cashews 14.5 ounce firm tofu patted dry 1/2 cup nutritional yeast 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice from about 2 lemons 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon dried basil 1 teaspoon oregano 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 3 cups baby spinach 1 box lasagna noodles (about 12 noodles) regular, gluten free or whole grain Double recipe Easy Vegan Mozzarella Cheese or 2-3 cups shredded vegan mozzarella
Instructions:
Cook the red lentils. Add 1 cup dried red lentils and 3 cups of water to a medium pot. Bring to a boil, and then simmer for about 20 minutes. Drain the lentils in a fine strainer, and then add back to the pot and stir in the marinara sauce. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Make the Cashew-Tofu Ricotta: Add the cashews to a food processor and process until fine and crumbly. Then add the tofu in chunks, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, basil, oregano and garlic powder to the food processor. Pulse until well combined and pretty smooth. If it’s too thick, add a few tablespoons of water to blend. Set aside. Assembling the lasagna: Add about 1 cup of lentil marinara to the bottom of a large 9x13 inch casserole dish. Spread it around evenly. Next add 4-5 lasagna noodles (uncooked). Spread half of the ricotta on top of the noodles. Top with half of the spinach. Add about 1 cup of the marinara sauce over the spinach, then place 4-5 lasagna noodles on top. Spread the rest of the ricotta over the noodles, then the rest of the spinach. Place 4-5 more noodles on top of the spinach, and then pour the rest of the sauce over the top, evenly. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
