Why I Keep Coming Back to This Vegan Lasagna
As a lover of hearty meals that don’t leave me feeling weighed down, I definitely enjoy this vegan lasagna. Pulling out a bubbling tray of lasagne from the oven can give you a comforting feeling of satisfaction. The layers of the dish - noodles, veggies, and tomato sauce - make it a hearty and wholesome vegetarian dish. The tofu ricotta provides a wonderful creamy, cheesy flavor and packs in some serious protein. You don’t have to sacrifice heartiness when you’re ditching the dairy!
Something I really love about this recipe is that it is very versatile. This plain recipe is a blank canvas to me, whether I want an old favourite flavour combination or a fridge clean out. Some days I’m into spinach with a bell pepper, and other days some roasted eggplant or even bit of kale. Putting together the various layers of this dish is not only soothing but also results in a meal that looks great. It could easily play the role of a centrepiece.
Here’s what makes this lasagna a winner in my book:
- It’s meal-prep friendly - you can assemble it in advance and bake it off when you’re ready.
- It’s crowd-pleasing enough for potlucks and casual get-togethers.
- Leftovers reheat beautifully - if you’re lucky enough to have any.
My advice? Don’t be afraid to try new vegetables or a splash of balsamic in your sauce. This lasagna is ready for your personal touch.
