Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook the gluten-free lasagne noodles according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain and lay them flat on a clean towel to prevent sticking.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sautΓ© for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced zucchini to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the baby spinach, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes to develop flavors. Remove from heat and set aside.
To make the cashew ricotta, drain the soaked cashews and add them to a food processor. Add almond milk, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and fresh basil. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
In the prepared baking dish, spread a thin layer of the marinara vegetable sauce to coat the bottom.
Place a layer of lasagne noodles on top of the sauce, followed by a layer of cashew ricotta and a layer of marinara sauce. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of sauce on top. Sprinkle vegan shredded cheese on top if using.
Cover the baking dish with foil (ensuring the foil does not touch the cheese if used) and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the top is slightly golden.
Let the lasagne sit for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
