Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 1h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles
2 teaspoons olive oil
⅔ cup diced red bell pepper
⅔ cup diced orange bell pepper
⅔ cup diced yellow bell pepper
⅔ cup diced green bell pepper
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 ½ cups water
1 dash crushed red pepper flakes
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
4 eggs
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna pasta in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and place on wax paper to cool.
  • Cook bell peppers and onion in olive oil in a large sauce pan until onions are translucent. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, water, and red pepper flakes. More red pepper flakes can be added if spicier sauce is preferred. Simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a medium bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, eggs, black pepper, and oregano.
  • Place a small amount of sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Reserve 1/2 cup of the sauce. Place three lasagna noodles lengthwise in pan. Layer some of the cheese mixture and the vegetable sauce on top of noodles. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients, ending with noodles. Spread reserved sauce over top of noodles. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
  • Cover dish with foil, and bake for 40 minutes or until bubbly. Remove foil during last 10 minutes of baking.

Provided by Cookie and Kate

Categories     Main dish

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups raw cashews, soaked for at least 4 hours if you do not have a high-powered blender
1 cup water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium-to-large yellow onion, chopped
2 large or 3 medium carrots, chopped (about 1 cup)
8 ounces Baby Bella mushrooms, cleaned and chopped
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
5 to 6 ounces baby spinach, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
2 1/2 cups marinara sauce, homemade* or store-bought (I used Rao's)
9 no-boil lasagna noodles**
Suggested garnishes: vegan Parmesan (or a light sprinkle of nutritional yeast) and fresh basil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. If you soaked your cashews, drain and rinse them until the water runs clear.
  • In a blender, combine the cashews, water, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and mustard. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary. If you're having trouble blending the mixture, slowly blend in up to ½ cup additional water, using only as much as necessary. Set aside.
  • Then, we'll prepare the vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Once shimmering, add the onion, carrots, mushrooms, salt and several twists of black pepper. Cook, stirring every couple of minutes, until most of the moisture is gone and the vegetables are tender and turning golden on the edges, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add another splash of olive oil if necessary to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Add a few large handfuls of spinach to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach has wilted. Repeat with remaining spinach and cook until all of the spinach has wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. Remove the skillet from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Spread 3/4 cup tomato sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9" by 9" baking dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles on top (snap off their ends to fit, and/or overlap their edges as necessary). Spread 1 cup of the cashew cream evenly over the noodles. Top with half of the veggies. Top with ¾ cup tomato sauce.
  • Top with 3 more noodles, followed by another 1 cup cashew cream (save the leftover cream). Then add the remaining veggies.
  • Top with 3 more noodles, then spread ¾ cup tomato sauce over the top to evenly cover the noodles.
  • Wrap a sheet of parchment paper or aluminum foil around the top of the lasagna, making sure it's taut so it doesn't touch the top. Bake, covered, for 25 minutes, then remove the cover, rotate the pan by 180° and continue cooking for about 5 to 10 more minutes, until it's steaming and lightly bubbling at the corners.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and let the lasagna cool for 15 to 20 minutes, so it has time to set and cool down to a reasonable temperature. Drizzle leftover cashew cream on top (if it's too thick to drizzle, thin it out with a small amount of water first). Sprinkle vegan Parmesan and fresh basil on top, if using, then slice and serve.

Steps:

  • Heat up some oil in a large frying pan and fry bacon lardons until crisp. Reduce the heat slightly and add the onions, celery, carrots, pepper and garlic, and fry for about 10 minutes until the vegetables have softened.
  • Increase the heat again and add the mince. Fry until the mince has browned all over, stirring continuously.
  • Pour in the tinned tomatoes, add the bay leaves, mixed herbs, stock cube, wine and cherry tomatoes. Mix well and stir in the chopped chillies, including seeds, and mix everything together.
  • Bring to a gentle boil and reduce heat. Cover and leave to cook for around an hour or so, until thickened, stirring occasionally.

  • If using traditional lasagna noodles, be sure to boil them according to the package instructions before assembling the lasagna.
  • To ensure that the lasagna is cooked evenly, use a large baking dish that is at least 9x13 inches in size.
  • Layer the lasagna evenly, starting with a layer of sauce, followed by a layer of noodles, a layer of filling, and a layer of cheese. Repeat these layers until all of the ingredients have been used up.
  • For the best results, bake the lasagna in a preheated oven at 375°F for 45-50 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the noodles are tender.
  • Allow the lasagna to cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the lasagna from falling apart.
