Recipe: Vegan Lasagne

This week’s recipe is a scrummy vegan lasagna.

Remember that for vegan’s you’ll need egg-free lasagne sheets, which are available in most major supermarkets.

Ingredients

Method

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic stirring frequently, until onion is soft (5 minutes.) Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add tomatoes with juice, basil, parsley, oregano. Cover and simmer over low heat about 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, bring large pot of water to boil. Add salt and lasagne sheets (egg-free version for Vegans). Cook until al dente, about 12 minutes. Drain, rinse with water and drain again.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Crumble tofu into medium bowl. Add garlic, basil, parsley, salt and pepper. Stir until well blended.

Spoon about 1 cup sauce over bottom of 13×9-inch baking dish. Add a layer of lasagne sheets and top with one-third tofu mixture. Spoon over about 1 1/2 cups sauce and top with another layer of lasagne sheets. Cover with one-third tofu mixture and top with 1 1/2 cups of sauce and another layer of lasagne sheets. Top with remaining tofu mixture and 1 cup sauce.

Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand about 15 minutes before cutting and serving. Serve with remaining sauce.
