Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets lasagna noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 12 ounces vegan ground meat
- 4 cups marinara sauce
- 4 cups baby spinach, chopped
- 1.5 cups vegan ricotta cheese
- 2 cups vegan mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the vegan ground meat to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and heated through. Stir in 3 cups of marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine vegan ricotta cheese, nutritional yeast, and chopped spinach. Mix well.
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Layer 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, slightly overlapping them. Spread half of the vegan ricotta-spinach mixture over the noodles, followed by one-third of the vegan mozzarella, and one-third of the vegan meat sauce mixture.
Repeat the layers (noodles, ricotta-spinach, mozzarella, meat sauce) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of meat sauce and a sprinkling of the remaining vegan mozzarella on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
