Ultimate Vegan "Cheese" and "Meat" Lasagne

Updated: May 17, 2020

Here I share with you how to make an unforgettable vegan lasagne! We'll use all plant-based "cheeses" and a hearty homemade "meat" filling !


Cheese Filling:

Mix together~

- 24 oz cheese blend (or make your own)

- 1/2 package of tofu

- 1 cup soy milk (or any plant milk like oat and so forth)

- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast

- salt and pepper to taste


Meat Filling:

Using a food processor of blender, pulse combination of ~

- 2 cups mixed nuts and seeds (I used walnuts, almonds, sunflower + sesame + pumpkin seeds)

- 1/2 cup raw mushroom, like porcini or any kind

- 2 tbs onion powder (or little raw onion)

- 1 cup flax meal - 1/4 cup olive oil

- 2 tbs liquid smoke

- salt and pepper to taste


*Tips: skip a step by buying a plant-based "meat" and then crumble it up. Little fresh garlic clove(s) or garlic powder pulsed in will also add a great flavor to the hearty "meat".


Preheat oven to 350 F.


Layers: Order of layering~

- spread a layer of pasta sauce in the bottom of a baking dish

- make a layer of no boil egg-free lasagne noodles (use rice noodles for GF version)

- spread an even layer of cheese mixture

- spread an even layer of meat filling

- repeat those layers times to make 3-4 depending on size of baking dish


*Tips: press down noodles as you layer them in and try adding spinach (fresh + sautéed or frozen + thawed) atop "meat" or swap out altogether for sliced sautéed mixed vegetables.


Cover with foil and bake 45 min, uncover and bake 10-15 min, and allow to cool about 10 min +.


*Tip: cut in large squares and transfer/serve using two spatulas.


Happy layering!

❤️Lisa
