Ingredients

  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 3 cups spinach
  • 4 cups marinara sauce

for the tofu ricotta

  • 1 cup raw cashews soaked
  • 1 block firm tofu pressed
  • ½ cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon basil
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • pinch black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Cook lasagna noodles in a large pot over the stove. Once they're done, drain the noodles and run cold water over them so they don't stick together and/or tear.
  • While the noodles are cooking, make the tofu ricotta. Add all ricotta ingredients EXCEPT the tofu to a food processor and pulse for 30 seconds. Then, with the processor still on, add the tofu in a little bit at a time and pulse until the mixture is smooth and similar to the texture of ricotta.
  • Next, layer the lasagna. Add ½ cup marinara to the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish, then place 3 cooked lasagna noodles on top. Spread a few dollops of ricotta on top of the noodles*, then add 1 cup spinach over that, and 1 cup marinara on top of the spinach. Repeat this process 2 more times.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake the lasagna for 15 minutes.
  • While the lasagna is baking, make the vegan mozzarella.
  • Remove lasagna from the oven, add the mozzarella cheese on top, then bake lasagna for 5 more minutes.
  • Wait a few minutes for lasagna to cool, then slice into 9 pieces and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

*If ricotta seems too thick, add a few tablespoons of water to it so it's easier to spread.
