Ingredients
Cashew cheese:
1 cup cashews (soaked overnight and drained)
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup spinach, roughly chopped
"Meat" sauce:
1 tbsp olive oil
2 packets Impossible or Beyond meat
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 can tomato sauce
Other
2 sweet potatoes
1 zucchini
8 sheets plant based lasagna sheets
8 oz shredded vegan mozarella
Extra virgin olive oil, to drizzle
1 tsp dried oregano
Directions
- Preheat the over to 400 F. Coat a 9x13 pan with olive oil. Set aside.
- To make the cashew cheese, add drained cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and salt to food processor and blend until smooth.
- Add cashew cheese and chopped spinach to medium mixing bowl and combine, set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil a large skillet over medium heat. Once olive oil is heated, add Impossible meat, salt, thyme, and garlic powder. Break up the Impossible meat to form a ground beef consistency, continue to cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, or until meat starts to brown.
- Reduce heat to low and add tomato sauce. Continue to cook for 5-8 minutes, or until tomato sauce reduces and sauce begins to thicken. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Pierce sweet potatoes with a knife or fork all over the surface. Wrap 1 sweet potato in a damp paper towel and microwave for 4 minutes on each side. Repeat with other sweet potato.
- Let potatoes cool and remove the skin. Add skinned potatoes to a medium mixing bowl and mash with a fork to form a puree consistency.
- Using a sharp knife or a mandolin slicer, slice zucchini into thin, 1/4 inch strips, set aside.
- Follow the directions on the box of your lasagna sheets and pre-boil if necessary.
- Layer ingredients in the 9x13 pan in the following order:
- 4 lasagna sheets
- 1/2 of the Impossible meat
- 1/2 of the zucchini slices
- Drizzle of olive oil
- 1/2 of the mashed sweet potato
