Share it with your friends!

This gluten free & vegan lasagne is incredibly simple to make and is a total crowd pleaser. It’s the perfect dinner party meal for sharing with family or friends or even just for a quiet night in.

I am going to put my neck on the line and say this is the best plant-based/vegan lasagne you will make! Big statement I know but I have tested it on many big meat eating friends who love it and some have said it’s even better than a meaty lasagne.

The black beans give it a real meaty texture and the homemade bechamel sauce gives it that cream cheesey flavour just what you want from a lasagne!

It tastes just like the “real” thing and absolutely packed full of flavour. Trust me if you give this to a meat eating friend they will be very impressed.

You will need a blender for this recipe!
