A vegan lasagna with 3 layers of broccoli and mushrooms smothered in a delicious cheesy sauce. Perfect for lunch, dinner or when having friends over. Comfort food at its best. This dish is rich in all the vitamins and in minerals such as iron, copper, manganese, phosphorus, zinc and selenium.

And finally…a vegan lasagna recipe! A week ago I realized that my blog is missing some “must have” recipes, lasagna being one of them. So I went back to the kitchen and decided to experiment with this recipe. I thought it shouldn´t be that difficult, but my first try was a little bit disappointing. Even though it tasted pretty good, the texture and consistency were kind of a disaster. I added way too much tomato sauce, the vegetables lost a lot of water during the baking process and I assembled only three layers of noodles with two thick layers of filling…wrong. I ended up with a watery mush…that actually didn’t taste bad at all 🤔. However, I definitely had to retry and improve it.

So I changed a few things here and there, gave it another try and…yes! PERRRFECT. This time I used less tomato sauce, I added an extra layer of lasagna noodles, I cooked the vegetables for a longer time (to reduce the water content) and then I chopped them to even smaller pieces, using the food processor (pictured above 👆🏻). This lasagna did not only keep its consistency and shape when being served, it also tasted even better than the first one. Lasagna recipe: check ✅.

This graphic above shows the exact order of the different layers. I know, seems like a lot, but it actually takes like 5 minutes to build the lasagna.

I used white lasagna noodles, because I couldn’t find a whole wheat version. But if you do, go ahead and use those. Whole is always better. The most important thing is to use no-boil lasagna noodles. Otherwise, you will have to cook them before using them, which is kind of annoying.

And there you have it. A super tasty, filling and comforting vegan lasagna. Enjoy 🤞🏻
