For those with food sensitivities like myself, I created this eggplant lasagna that is wheat, dairy, and egg free. If you are not vegan, you could add Italian sausage if you can find a wheat- and chemical-free source.

Yield 12 slices

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 large ripe tomato, sliced into thin rounds
2 cups marinara sauce (or homemade recipe)
16 oz. extra firm tofu, sliced into thin strips
1 cup mushrooms, sliced thin, any variety
1/4- 1/2 cup non-dairy cheese
2 cups fresh kale
1 box no-boil lasagna noodles
Zesty Garlic Marinade:
1 Tbsp garlic powder
3-4 Tbsp EVOO
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2-3 Tbsp dried Italian herb seasoning blend
1 tsp black pepper
Ricotta Nut Cheese:
2 cups of soaked raw cashews/pinch of salt, drained
2 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 Tbsp EVOO
1/4 cup plain soy milk
3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp dried Italian herb blend
1 Tbsp agave or maple syrup
1/3 cup fresh chives
1 tsp black pepper
salt to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Gather your ingredients. 2. Make your marinade by combining all ingredients in a large bowl. 3. Prep your veggies. Slice you ingredients very thin so that the marinade absorbs quickly. 4. Place your sliced ingredients (tofu, mushrooms, tomatoes, greens) into your marinade bowl. Toss gently. Add more EVOO/vinegar if needed to cover ingredients. Allow to marinate at least 20 minutes. Otherwise you can prep this part for overnight marination. 5. Nut Cheese Ricotta: soak cashews for 4+ hours. Drain excess water from cashews. Combine all ingredients in food processor until smooth. 6. Begin building your lasagna. See the step-by-step pics for the best "building" details. But basically, sauce, noodles, sauce, greens, tofu, sauce, noodles, sauce, mushrooms, noodles, ricotta, noodles, sauce, cheese, fresh tomatoes, chives, black pepper. And done! You can really build a lasagna however you'd like though. There are very few rules. IMPORTANT TIP: Be sure to put a sauce layer on at least one side of each noodle layer - since you are using the no-boil noodles. 7. Cover your lasagna and store in fridge until ready to bake that day. Or bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 45-60 minutes. Note: if baking lasagna from a chilled fridge, your baking time will be longer since the temp will be colder. Serve hot!

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a variety of vegetables in your lasagna. Some good options include spinach, kale, mushrooms, bell peppers, and zucchini.
  • To make your lasagna more hearty, add lentils or beans to the vegetable mixture.
  • If you don't have a lot of time, you can use no-boil lasagna noodles. Just be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • To make your lasagna extra cheesy, use a combination of different types of cheese, such as mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta.
  • For a crispy crust, brush the top of the lasagna with olive oil before baking.
