Tomato Sauce Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves crushed
- 1 medium red onion diced
- 100 g vine tomatoes chopped into quarters
- 120 g mushrooms sliced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 2 cans black beans drained and rinsed (400g x2)
- 680 g passata 1 large glass jar
- 2 tbsp tomato puree
- 4 handful fresh spinach
- Salt & Pepper
Vegan White Sauce Ingredients:
- 200 g cashews soaked for 15 mins in warm water
- 4 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 garlic clove crushed
- 2 pinches salt
- 4 pinches pepper
- 200 ml unsweetened plant milk I use almond
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp water
Method
-
Pre heat your oven to 200C and place your cashews in warm water
-
Start by heating a large pot on a medium heat with olive oil, garlic, onion along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook this down for a couple minutes
-
Meanwhile chop the mushroom and tomatoes and add them to the pot along with the dried basil and oregano to cook down until soft
-
Whilst that is cooking, drain and rinse the black beans before adding to the pot with the passata and tomato puree and stir. Cook all this together on a low/medium heat for 10 minutes
-
Once the tomato sauce is cooked, simply stir through the spinach allowing it to wilt down
-
Now add all the white sauce ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth
-
Simply layer up the lasagne how you like it (I go for tomato sauce, lasagne sheet, tomato sauce, white sauce, lasagne sheet and so on)
-
Finally grate over the vegan cheese and place in the oven at 200C for 30 minutes
-
Top with fresh chopped basil + serve with a side salad (optional)

If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
