Lasagna is one of those dishes that I prepare for special occasions or when I’m in the mood for comfort foods. This recipe is always a big hit when I serve it and I can’t ever remember having leftovers.

This delicious lasagna is guaranteed not to stay in the serving dish very long. It can be prepared ahead of time and freezes well for your big event so you can have more time for other preparations.

You can use any kind of hummus you have on hand for the vegan ricotta. I used brown rice lasagna but you can use slices of zucchini or roasted eggplant slices instead.

How To Make Vegan Lasagna

 

For the lasagna, I sauteed onion, garlic, bell peppers, and zucchini, and added pasta sauce. Then I prepared a tofu ricotta by mashing tofu and adding Italian seasoning, then preparing a creamy cashew sauce mixed into the tofu.

I used a combination of garlic hummus and cashew cream with excellent results (see recipe notes for instructions on how to make cashew cream).

I layer the pasta sauce, lasagna sheets, tofu ricotta, pasta sauce and cashew cream then repeat, sometimes I end by topping off the lasagna with vegan shredded cheese

This recipe is amazing and will be a huge hit when you serve it!

I have used several gluten-free vegan lasagna sheets with success, here is a list of gluten-free lasagna sheets.
