VEGAN VEGGIE LASAGNA



Vegan Veggie Lasagna image

This veggie lasaga is packed with veggies. I started with a tofu mixture from How It All Vegan, and then went from there. (I expect that the nutrition info is off on the cholesterol. Regular lasagne noodles are vegan, and would have no cholesterol..the Zaar nutritional content is showing cholesterol. However, if you use the no-bake lasagne noodles, those are not vegan, so if that is important to you, then keep that in mind.)

8 ounces yellow squash (about 1 medium), sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 cup sliced baby bella mushrooms
1 cup spinach
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cooking spray, for spraying the baking dish
9 lasagna noodles (7 inches by 3 inches), cooked according to the package instructions
One 15-ounce container whole-milk ricotta cheese
Cherry Tomato Sauce, recipe follows
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 cup shredded mozzarella
2 pounds cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
10 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 white onion, roughly chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a large saute pan on medium heat. Add the zucchini and yellow squash and cook until slightly tender, about 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and turn off the heat. Toss to combine, letting the spinach wilt. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spray a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Place 3 lasagna noodles on the bottom of the baking dish, forming 1 layer (the noodles may overlap). Layer one-third of the veggie mixture, one-third of the ricotta cheese and one-third of the Cherry Tomato Sauce in the dish, spreading each layer evenly. Top with 1/2 cup of the basil. Repeat a second time with the noodles, veggie mixture, ricotta and tomato sauce; top with the remaining 1/2 cup basil. Repeat a third time, but finish the top layer with the mozzarella.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil, turn the oven to broil and broil on high until the cheese is crisp and golden, about 5 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the tomatoes, oregano, thyme, parsley, olive oil, garlic and onions on a large baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and toss, making sure everything is evenly coated. Bake until the tomatoes are golden and the onions are caramelized, about 20 minutes.
  • Carefully peel the garlic, making sure not to burn your fingers. Transfer the ingredients to a blender and process until smooth. Check for seasoning and add more salt and pepper if desired. Reserve for later use.

Sausage and Veggie Lasagna Rolls image

This recipe makes two pans of lasagna rolls. You can bake both or freeze one for later.

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 small yellow squash, finely diced
1 small zucchini, finely diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
15 ounces whole-milk ricotta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
3 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
One 24-ounce jar marinara sauce
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dishes
1 pound lasagna noodles, cooked according to package instructions and drained
2 cups grated mozzarella (about 8 ounces)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • For the filling: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the squash, zucchini, a sprinkle of salt and black pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the squash softens but is not mushy, about 4 minutes. Set aside to let cool.
  • Add the ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to a large bowl, then add the cooled vegetables. Stir to combine.
  • For the sauce: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking into pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the marinara and bring to a simmer. Let cook for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and stir in the basil.
  • For the lasagna rolls: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray two 8-inch square baking dishes with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Spread about 1/2 cup of the sauce on the bottom of each prepared baking dish.
  • To make the rolls, spread each lasagna noodle with a layer of the ricotta filling. Starting at one end, roll up the noodle. Repeat with the remaining lasagna noodles and ricotta filling. Place half of the lasagna rolls seam-side down in each baking dish.
  • Spread the remaining sauce over the lasagna rolls. Top with the mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Alternatively, bake one dish and freeze the second, tightly wrapped, for up to 2 months. (See Cook's Note.)

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 no-boil lasagna noodles (I like Barilla)
1 (16 ounce) jar roasted garlic alfredo sauce (such as Bertoli)

8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 cup diced fresh zucchini
1 cup sliced green onion (include green parts)
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (6 ounce) packet albacore tuna (not a 6 oz. can, you want 6 oz. of tuna, not 6 oz. of tuna and water)
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
9 slices provolone cheese
2 -3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (I use a lot)
1/3 cup good white wine

Steps:

  • Mix together alfredo sauce and wine.
  • Briefly stir-saute all prepared vegetables in olive oil, except spinach, about two minutes over medium heat.
  • In a large oiled loaf pan, pour 1/2 cup alfredo sauce mix.
  • Top with two uncooked lasagna sheets, breaking the second to fit any uncovered sauce.
  • Top with 1/3 tuna, 1/3 vegetables (pull spinach into small pieces), and 1//3 of each cheese.
  • Pour 1/3 of remaining sauce on top.
  • Repeat layers twice more, reserving the last 1/3 of cheeses for later.
  • (You'll end with sauce).
  • Cover the pan tightly with foil.
  • Bake at 375 for 50 minutes, remove foil, top with remaining cheeses, reduce heat to 350, and bake for another 20 minutes, until top cheese is bubbling and starting to brown.
  • Remove from oven and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  • (15 minutes is better if you can stand it!).
  • Slice crosswise in about two inches slabs and serve with your favorite green salad and good chewy bread.
  • Be warned, this is very rich, but it's hard to stop eating.
  • NOTE: Please try to use the albacore tuna in the foil pouch, if at all possible.
  • The taste is noticably better than any canned albacore I've tried.
