Ingredients: For the Lasagna Roll-Ups:

  • 8 lasagna noodles (whole wheat or gluten-free, if desired)
  • 2 cups marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 cup firm tofu, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Cashew Cream Sauce:

  • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water for at least 4 hours or overnight
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Garnish:

  • Fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • Vegan parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
  2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse them under cold water to prevent sticking. Lay them flat on a clean surface or kitchen towel.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, mushrooms, crumbled tofu, nutritional yeast, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  4. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce onto each lasagna noodle, leaving a small border around the edges. Spoon the tofu and vegetable mixture evenly onto each noodle, spreading it out to cover the surface.
  5. Carefully roll up each lasagna noodle, starting from one end and rolling towards the other end. Place the roll-ups seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
  6. In a blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more almond milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.
  7. Pour the cashew cream sauce over the lasagna roll-ups, covering them evenly.
  8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the roll-ups are heated through and the sauce is bubbly.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven and let the lasagna roll-ups cool for a few minutes before serving.
  11. Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves and vegan parmesan cheese, if desired, before serving.
