INGREDIENTS
1 lasagna noodle sheet (28g dry)
0.8 piece zucchini (~80g)
0.8 piece eggplant (~80g)
0.5 red bell pepper (~60g)
1/4 cup tomato sauce (~65g)
1/2 cup cooked red lentils (~115g)
Cashew ricotta blend (1/4 cup cashews + 1/2 cup white beans) (~150g)
50g firm tofu
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the zucchini, eggplant, and red bell pepper into even pieces. Toss lightly in olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, prepare the tomato sauce by warming it in a saucepan; add herbs like basil or oregano to enhance the flavor.
For the cashew ricotta, blend 1/4 cup raw cashews with 1/2 cup cooked white beans until smooth, seasoning with a pinch of salt, lemon juice, and nutritional yeast if desired.
Lightly pan-fry 50g of cubed firm tofu with a sprinkle of salt until it firms up and gets a slight golden crust.
Assemble the lasagna by placing the lasagna noodle on a plate, then layering with roasted vegetables, a spread of tomato sauce, a spoonful of red lentils, dollops of the cashew ricotta blend, and a scattering of the sautéed tofu.
Serve warm and enjoy this hearty yet balanced dish.
