Ingredients
  • 9 Lasagne Noodles
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
  2. 2
    Roast chopped zucchini, eggplant, and bell peppers in the oven or on a baking sheet until tender and slightly browned, about 20-25 minutes.
  3. 3
    In a large skillet, sauté onions and garlic until translucent, then add your favorite tomato sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. 4
    If using a vegan version, prepare a cashew cream or béchamel sauce separately; otherwise, prepare standard béchamel.
  5. 5
    Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. 6
    Layer three lasagne noodles over the sauce, followed by a layer of roasted vegetables, a drizzle of sauce, and a spoonful of cream sauce.
  7. 7
    Repeat the layers two more times, ending with noodles topped with remaining sauce and a sprinkle of vegan parmesan or nutritional yeast.
  8. 8
    Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  9. 9
    Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
  10. 10
    Let the lasagne rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing to allow it to set.

Note

Allow the roasted vegetables to cool slightly before assembling to prevent the cheese from melting too quickly in the oven.

For a vegan option, substitute dairy béchamel with a cashew cream or coconut milk-based sauce. Use nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.

This lasagne can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated before baking. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if cooking from cold.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350ðF until warmed through.

To prevent a soggy lasagne, ensure your tomato sauce is thick and your roasted vegetables are not overly wet. Salting eggplant slices before roasting can help draw out excess moisture.
