UNIQUE LASAGNA



Unique Lasagna image

I found this recipe in Conveniently Vegan by Debra Wasserman. I made it for Christmas Eve dinner. It's a wonderful vegan alternative that doesn't involve tofu. This dish involves using several different pots and pans but is well worth the effort. I made it the day before then baked it. It worked out well. I wrote the recipe exactly as it appears in the book. I used a little almond milk and earth balance in the potatoes to make them creamier and more spreadable. I also used fresh spinach instead of frozen. I also used Italian seasoning on the potato layer and on the top.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses for a more flavorful lasagna. A good combination is a blend of ricotta, Parmesan, and mozzarella.
  • Don't overcook the lasagna noodles. They should be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set.
  • Serve lasagna with a side of garlic bread or salad.

With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a lasagna that your family and friends will love.
