Now, before I dive into the nitty-gritty of this mouthwatering recipe, let's talk about something close to my heart - the health benefits of going vegan. 🌱💪
Going vegan not only means you're helping our planet 🌍 and showing love for all living beings 🐾, but it also comes with a boatload of health benefits. From improved heart health ❤️ to lower risks of certain diseases and even weight loss, the perks are endless! And let's not forget the energy boost! I remember when I first went vegan; it felt like I had superhero powers! 🦸♂️💥
Now, onto the star of the show - a recipe that’s been in my family for generations but with a VeganSpiceBoy twist: Tempting Vegan Lasagna. Trust me; this is not just any lasagna. It’s a piece of my heart, layered between scrumptious pasta and divine flavors.
Ingredients
- Whole wheat lasagna noodles (9-12 noodles, depending on your pan size)
- 2 cups of marinara sauce
- 1 cup of cashews, soaked overnight
- 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 cup of spinach
- 1 cup of sliced mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Start by making the cashew cheese: blend the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, lemon juice, and a dash of salt and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
- In a pan, sauté the zucchini, spinach, and mushrooms with olive oil until they’re soft and fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the lasagna: Start with a layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of your baking dish, followed by a layer of noodles. Spread a layer of cashew cheese over the noodles, then a layer of your sautéed veggies. Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of marinara sauce on top.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and diving into vegan heaven! 🍴🌈
