Ingredients

  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • sea salt
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
  • black pepper
  • 1 cup red or brown lentils (or both)
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 tsp vegetable bouillon powder (or 2 cubes)
  • 1-14oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 6 Lasagne Sheets (approx)
  • ½ cup unsweetened soy milk or canned coconut milk, optional
  • 1½ cups frozen chopped spinach
  • 3 cups dairy-free mozzarella shreds
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400F
  2. In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat and saute carrots and celery with a pinch of salt for 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened slightly.
  3. Stir in onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), and black pepper, and cook for 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
  4. Stir in lentils, bouillon cubes or powder, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
  5. Add crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  6. Stir in the lasagna pieces, soy milk (if using), and spinach. Cover the pot, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the liquid has reduced and the pasta is beginning to soften.
  7. Mix in 1 cup of cheese and transfer the pasta mixture to the casserole dish.
  8. Spread out the mixture evenly, then top with the remaining dairy-free cheese, and cover with foil.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes. Uncover, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the sauce is bubbly and the pasta is tender.
  10. Transfer to a wire cooling rack, and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Then cut into squares and serve!
