Lasagna:

  • 28- ounce marinara sauce
  • 3 medium zucchini thinly sliced with a mandolin or knife
  • 1/4 cup red lentils dry Split red lentils, washed and soaked for 5 mins in warm water if needed
  • 3 cups spinach
  • 2 cups broccoli finely chopped
  • 8 oz Aquafaba chickpea liquid egg replacement

Tofu ricotta:

  • 14- ounce tofu block firm drained and pressed dry for 10 minutes
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 3 Tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2-3 tbsp lemon juice

  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 cup basil

Garnish: pepper flakes ,basil, extra virgin olive oil, vegan cheese shreds

Instructions
 

  • Make the marinara if not using store bought. Press the tofu, Preheat the oven to 400 deg F (205 C). Grease a 9 by 9 inch baking dish.
  • Make the Tofu Ricotta: In a food processor, add the tofu through pepper and process until evenly blended.
  • Add basil and pulse a few times to incorporate. Taste and adjust flavor with additional salt or lemon.
  • Assemble: Mix Lentils, Spinach, Broccoli and 3/4 of Tofu Ricotta and softly fold ingredients together.
  • Spread 1/4 cup or more marinara in the baking dish. than layer Lentil, veggie and Tofu Ricotta and spread evenly. Then add another layer of zucchini noodles and marinara and repeat. You can ad other layers such as roasted mushrooms or veggie sausage etc as well should you choose
  • I usually reserve a bit of ricotta for the top layer and swirl it into the marinara sauce and sprinkle with nutrition yeast, pepper flakes, olive oil and basil.
  • Cover and Bake at 400 deg F for 30 minutes, then uncover and continue to bake for another 20 to 35 mins. (Depends on the thickness of the zucchini and the moisture content of the zucchini and pasta sauce). Check with a toothpick if the zucchini is cooked through and there isn't too much liquid on the edges.
  • Let it rest for 15 mins, then slice and serve.
  • Store: Cool and Refrigerate for upto 3 days or freeze for upto a month.
