\"Vegan<\/p>\n

Did you see that hearty, meatlessly meaty bolognese sauce<\/a> recipe I shared last week? If not, pop on over quick to take a look.<\/p>\n

It's destined to become your household red sauce.<\/p>\n

But beyond tossing it with a pile of tangly warm spaghetti, I wanted to offer you another way to serve it.<\/p>\n

And so, my friends, here you have it: Vegan Lasagna Bolognese.<\/p>\n

This one's a comforting classic and a total keeper. I have a feeling it'll find its way into your weekly recipes many times in the coming months.<\/p>\n

It's easy to make. It can be prepared ahead of time, frozen, and reheated. And it's satisfying to all eaters, from meat-lovers to plant-based vegans.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

Would you know this \ud83d\udc46\ud83c\udffblasagna is totally meatless and cheese-less based solely on look?<\/p>\n

Nope.<\/p>\n

More importantly, would you know it based on taste? I certainly don't think so. But you be the judge.<\/p>\n

To make it, you'll start by preparing that savory walnut bolognese sauce<\/a>. Don't fret if you or your loved ones can't have nuts\u2014I've included nut-free options for the sauce and for the \"cheese\".<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

While the sauce simmers, preheat the oven, lightly grease a baking dish, and prepare the cashew mozzarella sauce and vegan parmesan (if using).<\/p>\n

The cashew mozzarella sauce is made by blending together cashews (or hemp seeds for nut-free), water, nutritional yeast flakes, arrowroot starch (for thickening), vinegar, and sea salt until completely smooth.<\/p>\n

The parmesan is made by pulsing together either nuts or seeds with nutritional yeast, garlic, and salt until ground into a grated cheese texture.<\/p>\n

Once all of the individual elements are prepared, you'll assemble the vegan lasagna.<\/p>\n

Spread a bit of the bolognese into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with a layer of gluten-free (or regular) lasagna noodles. Pour about half of the mozzarella sauce over the lasagna noodles, and top with a bit more bolognese.<\/p>\n

Repeat until you have three full layers of noodles, topping the final layer with bolognese sauce only.<\/p>\n

Tip: As you layer, use any broken lasagna noodles to fill in the gaps around the edges of the pan.<\/p>\n

Cover the lasagna with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil, sprinkle with the vegan parmesan (if using), and continue to bake for another 20 minutes, or until the lasagna is hot and bubbly.<\/p>\n

Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. If you're wanting a pop of color and freshness, top with chopped parsley.<\/p>\n

Then, slice and serve.<\/p>\n

This lasagna can be made ahead of time and reheated as needed for quick meals throughout the week.<\/p>\n

For a pot-luck or party, prepare and assemble the lasagna ahead of time and bake upon your arrival or your guests' arrival.<\/p>\n

Also, feel free to get creative.<\/p>\n

Add saut\u00e9ed greens or other veggies (e.g., peppers, zucchini, onions, mushrooms, etc.) in between the layers of this vegan meat lasagna for a vedged-up version of this classic.<\/p>\n
