Ingredients:
– 9 lasagna noodles
– 1 cup soy crumbles
– 2 cups tomato sauce
– 2 cups bechamel sauce
– 1 cup shredded vegan cheese
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1 onion, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp dried basil
– 1 tsp dried oregano
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with a little olive oil and set it aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant and slightly softened, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the soy crumbles to the skillet and cook until they are lightly browned, stirring occasionally, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Mix in the dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the soy crumbles. Stir well to combine and let the flavors meld for another 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
5. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place three lasagna noodles over the sauce, slightly overlapping.
6. Next, spread half of the soy crumbles mixture over the lasagna noodles. Then, pour a layer of the bechamel sauce on top of the soy crumbles.
7. Repeat the layering process by adding another layer of lasagna noodles, the remaining soy crumbles, and another layer of bechamel sauce.
8. Place the final layer of lasagna noodles on top of the dish. Spread the remaining tomato sauce over the noodles, making sure they are fully covered.
9. Top the lasagna with shredded vegan cheese, covering the entire surface evenly. This will give your lasagna that gooey, melty finish.
10. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
11. Once baked, remove the lasagna from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the layers of flavors in this delightful plant-based twist on a classic dish.
