JUMP TO RECIPE

Lasagna and I have a love/hate relationship. A couple years ago, I made a lasagna for Thanksgiving that met a horrible fate. Matt and I didn’t visit family for this Thanksgiving so we decided to have a small get-together with friends. I meticulously layered a lasagna with sauce, noodles, and ricotta and covered the pan in tin foil. I had Matt hold the lasagna in his lap during the drive to our friend’s house so that it didn’t slide around in the car. Then, I carried the lasagna into the house like it was my newborn child. I mean, I was sure that it was going to be a good Thanksgiving meal. Then, the tragedy occurred.

I was too lazy to clear a spot on the counter so placed the lasagna pan on the stovetop and sat down on the couch. I thought it would be safe there but boy, was I wrong. The wrong burner was turned on to make the mashed potatoes and the glass pan exploded! I mean, there was glass and lasagna EVERYWHERE. It was sad. Very, very sad. So lesson learned – do not store a glass pan on the stovetop EVER. Put it on the counter, just clear a spot and DO IT. This is between lasagna life and lasagna death, people!

A month later, I made another lasagna for Christmas. Except this time, I went back to New York to visit family and left the lasagna with Matt (since he couldn’t get time off work). He told me about that lasagna everyday I was gone and made me so jealous that I wasn’t home to enjoy it. So yeah, those are some amazing stories about lasagna, I know.

Anyway, I finally made a vegan lasagna that I was able to eat and it was goooooood. It was REAL good. It was a perfect meal and we had leftovers for days. I mean, I would go to work and daydream about getting home so I can eat a piece of this vegan lasagna. It’s easy and fun to make too.

The vegan lasagna consists of four layers: lentil bolognese sauce, cooked lasagna noodles, almond ricotta cheese, and roasted vegetables (eggplant, zucchini, and red pepper). Layer them up a few times until you reach the top and run out of ingredients.
