The Best Vegan Lasagna

First up, we need to see the beauty that we’re about to create.

The Best Vegan Lasagna Now that we’ve whetted our appetite with this stunning image, let’s jump into the details of what you’ll need for this culinary adventure:

Ingredients:

9 lasagna noodles (you can use gluten-free if you want to be fancy)
2 cups spinach (because we need to pretend we’re being healthy)
1 recipe of vegan ricotta (made from cashews, or store-bought for the lazier folks)
2 cups marinara sauce (homemade if you’re feeling a bit gourmet)
1 zucchini, thinly sliced (let’s throw in some veggies for color)
1 bell pepper, diced (use your favorite color—maybe even mix and match)
1 cup mushrooms, sliced (you know they’ll fit right in!)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (because, why not?)
1 teaspoon onion powder (see how we’re sneaking in flavor?)
Salt and pepper to taste (Don’t be shy!)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (we don’t want a cold lasagna, do we?).
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. (Make sure to not engage in a noodle fight, though!)
In a big mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the vegan ricotta. Get in there and mash it up with a fork or mix it in a blender for a smoother texture.
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom.
Place three lasagna noodles on top of the sauce. Layer half of your vegan ricotta, followed by the spinach and a mix of your other vegetables. Pour on some more marinara sauce. Repeat this step until you run out of ingredients or space in your dish.
Finish off with a layer of noodles, topped with marinara sauce. Sprinkle with garlic and onion powder, and sprinkle some salt and pepper to taste for that extra zing.
Cover the pan with foil (shiny side in, of course) and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After that, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes—this is where the magic happens.
Let it cool for a bit before slicing (you’ll burn your tongue if you dive in too soon!).

And there you have it, folks! A mouth-watering vegan lasagna that’s so good, it’ll make you question all of your cheese-based choices. Serve it up with a side salad or some crusty bread, and enjoy an epic feast. Bon appétit!
