INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked red lentils (100g)
1/4 cup soaked cashews (30g)
100g firm tofu
50g tempeh
1/2 cup tomato sauce (125g)
1 cup fresh spinach
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the cashew ricotta by blending the soaked cashews, firm tofu, and nutritional yeast in a food processor until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
In a skillet, lightly sauté the crumbled tempeh over medium heat until it begins to brown, then mix in the cooked red lentils to warm through.
Lightly wilt the fresh spinach in the skillet or by steaming briefly.
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce in a small lasagna pan or an oven-safe dish. Add a layer of the lentil-tempeh mixture, then dollop and spread a layer of cashew ricotta on top, and sprinkle with spinach.
Repeat layering until all components are used, finishing with a layer of tomato sauce on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the dish is warmed through and the flavors meld together.
Let the lasagna cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your protein-packed, plant-powered meal!
