HOW TO MAKE A VEGAN LASAGNA THAT PEOPLE WON’T HATE

Last week I made lasagna: something I haven’t done in years because I was leery of making it without cheese. For my vegan lasagna recipe, I used my own homemade cashew milk based cheese but if you have a favourite vegan cheese I am sure it will work just as well. It might seem weird because I also use cashew milk in this and I don’t cook the noodles separately first. The milk actually replicates the ricotta cheese traditionally used and is absorbed into the noodles giving the whole dish a hearty Italian flavour.

Regular or gluten-free lasagna noodles

1 tsp of Italian seasoning or ½ tsp crushed oregano and ½ tsp crushed basil

1 tsp of minced garlic or ¼ tsp of garlic powder
