Lasagna sheet of choice (gluten-free options are San Remo pasta)
1 1/2 cups soy mince hydrated or brown cooked lentils, diced finely
2 cups mini brown portabello mushrooms
1/3 cup diced leeks
1-2 cups diced baby spinach
1 small red onion diced finely
1 x 400ml can crushed tomatoes
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/4 sun-dried tomato pesto
1 tsp sugar or honey
1-2 crushed garlic cloves
1 tsp dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
Other add-ins
shredded zucchini
grated carrots
kale
Sauce
300g cooked butter beans or chickpeas
1 cup steamed butternut or sweet potato
2 cups soy or milk of choice like coconut, oat, or almond milk (more if needed)
1 heaped tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 tsp miso paste (optional)
1/4 cup melted vegan butter or margarine
salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
grated vegan parmesan
vegan cream cheese or vegan cream cheese dip (I love the Bwell onion dip)
Fresh herbs to serve
Method
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Add some olive oil to a pan and add in the diced red onion, garlic flakes, diced leeks, mushrooms, and other veggies that you’d like to add. Fry a bit more before adding in the herbs and spices.
Then add in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato pesto, sugar/honey, and let it simmer a bit more before adding in the drained and dehydrated soy mince or brown lentils. Leave to simmer for 10 minutes.
Cook the paste sheets until al-dente and remove and drain, drizzle the lasagna lightly with olive oil, add a couple of spoonfuls of the soy mince onto the lasagna pasta sheets, smooth out, and roll up, add a generous layer of mince on to the bottom of the baking pan and add the lasagna roll up’s on top.
Blend the sauce ingredients until smooth, pour into a saucepan, and bring to a simmer until it starts to thicken, pour onto the lasagna roll up’s, and then add the grated vegan cheese and some breadcrumbs on top. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until brown, add a few dollops of the vegan cream cheese or the dip, and serve with the fresh herbs and a side salad.
