Ingredients
Vegan Sauce
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350º,. Bring a large pot of salted boiling water to a boil and cook lasagna noodles until al dente. Drain.
- Wrap tofu in a clean kitchen cloth or paper towels and place on a large plate. Place a pan or heavy plate on top of the tofu in order to press out as much liquid as possible. Let sit for at least 30 minutes. When drained, crumble with two forks and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add onion and garlic and season with salt, pepper, and 1 tsp oregano. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir spinach until completely combined. Remove from heat and set aside vegetables.
- Wipe out the skillet and return to medium heat and olive oil. Add flour and whisk to combine. Cook until lightly golden and nutty, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in nut milk until smooth. Stir in nutritional yeast and garlic powder and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let cook until thickened 8 to 10 minutes.
- In a large baking dish, spoon 1/4 c marinara into an even layer, then add a layer of noodles. Top with an even layer of vegetable mixture, tofu, marinara, and white sauce. Repeat until all ingredients are used, ending in marinara. Add a single layer of tomato rounds and season with salt, pepper, and remaining oregano. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until tomatoes are cooked and lasagna is heated through. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with basil and serve.
Recipe Note
Substitute your favorite herb-infused olive oil. For a spicy kick, substitute Arribiata sauce for the marinara. Adapted from delish.com
