Ingredients

  • For the Lentil-Walnut 'Meat': 1 cup brown or green lentils, rinsed; 1 cup walnuts, finely chopped; 2 tbsp olive oil; 1 small onion, diced; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tbsp Italian seasoning; 1 tsp smoked paprika; Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Cashew Ricotta: 1 ½ cups raw cashews, soaked; ½ cup water; 2 tbsp lemon juice; 1 tbsp nutritional yeast; 1 tsp garlic powder; ½ tsp salt
  • For the Rest: 25 oz jar of your favorite marinara sauce; 12 sheets gluten-free oven-ready lasagna noodles; 1-2 cups vegan mozzarella shreds (optional); Fresh basil, for garnish

    • Instructions

  • Prep the 'Meat' and Ricotta Fillings: Cook lentils until tender. In a skillet, sauté onion and garlic. Add lentils, walnuts, seasoning, and spices. Mix and set aside. For the ricotta, blend soaked cashews, water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and salt until smooth.
  • Assemble the Lasagna Layers: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9×13 inch dish, spread a thin layer of marinara. Add a layer of noodles, half the ricotta, half the 'meat' mixture, and a third of remaining sauce. Repeat layers. Top with a final noodle layer, last of the sauce, and optional vegan cheese.
  • Bake to Perfection: Cover dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake another 10-15 minutes until bubbly and golden. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil.
