Ingredients
Sauce
- 1 Tbs Avocado or Coconut Oil
- 8 oz Tempeh finely chopped
- 2 Tbs Coconut Aminos
- 1-25 oz Jar of your favorite Marinara sauce
- 14.5 oz Muir Glen Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes No Salt
- 1 cup Mushrooms
Cheese
- 8 oz Vegan Mozzarella I used Miyoko’s brand
- 2 Tbs Nutritional Yeast plus more to taste
Noodles
- 1-10 oz Box of Gluten-Free Lasagna Noodles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Set out a 9x13 inch or similar size and lightly grease with olive oil.
- Begin by preparing your sauce. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, add oil, tempeh, and mushrooms and begin sautéing, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes.
- Add coconut aminos and continue sautéing for another 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, if using noodles that require boiling, bring a large pot of water to a boil (otherwise skip this step). Once boiling, add a pinch of salt then add lasagna noodles. Cook according to package instructions (don’t overcook). Then drain and set aside.
- Next, add your marinara sauce and Muir Glen Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes to the tempeh and mushrooms and stir to combine. Cook on low for about 5 minutes. Add nutritional yeast as well. Turn off heat and set aside.
- Grate your cheese and set aside.
- To begin assembly, add a thin layer of marinara sauce to your baking dish. Then add a layer of the cooked pasta noodles (or uncooked noodles if using no-boil). Top with a handful of cheese and spread into an even layer.
- Add another layer of marinara sauce and use a spoon to spread over the cheese layer to coat. Then add another layer of noodles. Top with more cheese and spread into an even layer.
- Top with another layer of noodles and top with remaining sauce. Optional: Top with additional vegan cheese.
- Transfer to the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes uncovered, or until the sauce is bubbly and/or the edges are browned.
- Carefully remove from the oven and let cool 5-10 minutes before serving. Then slice, serve and enjoy.
