Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 3.5 oz (100 g) Small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1.7 oz (48.19 g) Celery, finely chopped
  • 2.1 oz (59.53 g) Carrot, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 1–½ cups (354.88 ml) Tofu crumbles, store-bought or homemade
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1 tsp Dried basil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 16.9 fl oz (500 ml) Tomato purée, passata
  • 1–2 cups (236.59 ml) Water
  • 8–10 sheets Lasagna sheets, no-boil if possible, broken into large pieces
  • 1 cup (236.59 ml) Plant-based cream cheese, or prepared non-dairy béchamel
  • 1 cup (236.59 ml) Shredded plant-based mozzarella-style cheese

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, celery, and carrot. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until vegetables are soft and fragrant.
  2. Build the Sauce:
Stir in tomato paste, oregano, and basil. Cook for 1–2 minutes. Add tofu crumbles and mix well. Let it cook for 2–3 minutes to incorporate flavors.
  3. Add Pasta and Liquids:
Pour in the tomato purée and 1 cup of water, stirring to combine. Nestle broken lasagna sheets into the sauce, ensuring they are mostly submerged. Cover and simmer on medium-low heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more water if needed to maintain a saucy consistency.
  4. Add Cream and Cheese:
Spread dollops of plant-based cream cheese or pour béchamel sauce over the lasagna. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Cover again and cook for 2–4 minutes until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.
  5. Serve:
Taste and adjust with salt and pepper. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes to set. Garnish with fresh basil and serve straight from the pot. Enjoy with a side salad or garlic bread!

Notes

  • Use no-boil lasagna sheets if possible to speed up the cooking process.
  • Add more water as needed during simmering to keep the sauce saucy and prevent the noodles from drying out.
  • Letting the dish rest for 5 minutes helps it set before serving.
