Ingredients:

  • For the balsamic mushrooms, we sautee sliced baby bella ins some vegan butter along with garlic, and white onion and deglaze the pan with some white wine or balsamic vinegar
  • lasagna noodles are cooked in the same pan we fried the mushrooms in along with broth, nutritional yeast, thyme, parsley, and mustard
  • For the vegan bechamel, we blend with plant-based milk with tofu and a small amount of flour for thickening
  • for that cheesy crust, we add a generous sprinkle of vegan parmesan on top which melts with the remaining heat

Tips:

  • Feel free to use my nut-free Cauliflower Alfredo or Pumpkin seed Alfredo instead of this tofu bechamel sauce. You might need a double serving. Use my cashew alfredo if you’re ok with nuts
  • any kind of plant-based milk is fine, use unsweetened plain, including almond, oat, cashew, and soy milk
  • For gluten-free, use gluten-free pasta and cornstarch instead of flour for thickening.

Notes

For gluten-free, use gluten-free pasta and cornstarch instead of flour for thickening. Tofu substitutes: use my nut-free Cauliflower Alfredo or Pumpkin seed Alfredo instead of this tofu bechamel sauce. You might need a double serving. Use my cashew alfredo like my skillet alfredo lasagna, if you’re ok with nuts, so blend 3/4 cup cashews with the 2 cups broth.. Also blend in the 1/2 cup non dairy milk, sal and flour at the same time and add to the skillet with the noodles.
