Vegan Lasagna!

 

Delicious Vegan Lasagna
Vegan lasagna is our family favorite for the Christmas entree. And I laugh, because everyone else has already celebrated Christmas!

No problem, we are eating this for New Year’s Day, which is also already passed!  For us, any day is a good day for lasagna!

Christmas or New Year’s Day—how about Lasagna?

We don’t generally eat the regular black eyed peas and collard greens on New Year’s Day. Only a few of our crew like those things. I happen to like both occasionally, but not better than lasagna!

Can you tell I grew up in the 80’s? I’m kind of like Garfield–it’s hard to beat a good lasagna!

So let’s dive right in!

Vegan Lasagna that even Garfield would be proud of!

There are a ton of variations of vegan lasagna, but this is going to be a super simple recipe. You can add in pretty much anything you like! Options include:

  • Sautéed mushrooms
  • Spinach or kale!
  • Sliced onions
  • Broccoli
  • Eggplant
  • Olives
  • Zucchini
  • Fresh herbs

Since the lasagna I make this time will be strictly for us vegan people, I’m making ours like I like it! There’s a cheesy, artery-clogging version on the table too, so I don’t have to worry about leaving out mushrooms for someone, or anything like that! I’m stuffing ours full of veggies! 🥦🥕 🍆

Don’t worry–Garfield! Vegan lasagna won’t clog your arteries! 💪🏼

Instructions
 

  • Lightly oil 9x13 deep dish pan with a little olive oil.
  • Mix half the Vegan Cheese Sauce with the smashed tofu. Add Italian seasoning and 1 tsp salt.
  • Sautée garlic, mushrooms, and chopped veggies until soft in olive oil over medium heat.
  • Spread 1/2 cup pasta sauce in the bottom of the pan. (This helps to keep it from sticking)
  • Layer uncooked noodles, tofu, veggies, pasta sauce, cheese sauce and shreds, until you run out. Top with cheese sauce and shredded cheese.
  • Add 1/2 c water (just pour around edges and let it fill in the cracks—omit if you precook noodles)
  • Sprinkle herbs on top, if desired.
  • Cover and bake at 350 for one hour, or until noodles are soft. Uncover for last 15 minutes of baking time.
  • Add more water as needed if lasagna seems dry. Don’t add cold water to baking glass pan! It will explode!
  • **May also refrigerate for up to 3 days and cook when needed**

  2. I love lasagna but never had vegan. I’ll have to try some vegan cheese since I’m a cheeseaholic! Would that be better for watching cholesterol also?
