The Best Vegan Lasagna is an amazing meatless, dairy-free lasagna packed with a hummus tofu ricotta that'll please any carnivore!
This is one those "there's no way in hell that's vegan" moments. THE MOST MOMENTOUS OF MOMENTS.
It was a proud, proud moment when my carnivorous boyf and I first sank our teeth into this luscious, best ever vegan lasagna. The truth is that I've been making a version of this delicacy for years, and if you're a loooooong time Hummusapien reader, you remember.
My Skinny Vegan Lasagna straight outta the Dark Ages, of course! The photos in that blog post... I simply cannot.
Then there were the Summer Vegetable Lasagna Rolls. Because isn't everything more fun when it's all portioned out?
Now we're back to the good ol' casserole version. The old favorite. I don't know how or why or where or when or what but the combination of garlic hummus and tofu and nutritional yeast is SO much like ricotta that it's honestly bizarre. Uncanny. Bombastical.
It tastes more like ricotta than ricotta does. Is that a thing?
Many mouths have enjoyed (and that's a vast understatement) this best vegan lasagna. I 100% guarantee that you could serve this to meat mongers and die-hard dairy fans and they would lick their plates! Aaaaaand ask for thirds.
How to Make Vegan Lasagna
To make this epic lasagna, I use local Oasis roasted garlic hummus, an entire 40oz jar of my favorite Rao's marinara from Costco (I love sauce!), and either whole grain lasagna noodles or these lentil noodles, but there's lots to play around with here.
If your kids hate mushrooms or spinach, leave it out. If they won't go within ten feet of anything whole grain, use regular noodles (or brown rice noodles for gluten-free!).
Sadly, this vegan lasagna recipe will not work without tofu (I've had this press for years and it's the best), hummus, and nutritional yeast. You can purchase nutritional yeast at most grocery stores in the natural section so I assume they have it at most other grocery chains.
It really helps with that cheesy flavor, not to mention that's it's high in protein and energizing B vitamins.
Do I Need to Pre-Boil the Noodles?
Yes. I use whole grain lasagna noodles that I boil just until al dente. You can definitely use no-cook noodles like these to save time and skip boiling, just be sure to check the packaging to confirm.
This Vegan Lasagna is Healthy, Too!
The nutrition stats on this best vegan lasagna are off the wall awesome. This is one HEALTHY lasagna! One big slice has a whopping 17 grams of protein, not to mention all the calcium from the tofu and filling fiber from the veggies and whole grain noodles. Plant-powered protein, oodles of veggies, and healthy fats---gang's all here.
I added some extra greens into this gorgeous and super easy recipe but it tasted just as fantastic without them. I'm so, so, so freaking excited for you to try this!

Description
This Best Vegan Lasagna is an amazing meatless, dairy-free lasagna packed with a hummus tofu ricotta that'll please any carnivore! You'd never guess it wasn't packed with cheese.
Ingredients
For the lasagna:
- 12 whole grain lasagna noodles
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium zucchini, chopped (optional)
- 8oz pkg sliced mushrooms
- 12oz pkg frozen spinach, thawed (can sub a few handfuls of fresh spinach)
- 7-10 cups marinara sauce (2-25oz jars, I like mine saucy!)
For the tofu ricotta:
- 2-14oz pkg extra firm tofu, drained and pressed
- 10oz tub roasted garlic hummus (1 heaping cup)
- ½ cup nutritional yeast
- ¼ cup fresh basil, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook just until al dente.
- Meanwhile, heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Once hot, add zucchini, mushrooms, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes or until softened. Add spinach and sauté for another 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
- Place drained and pressed tofu in a large bowl. Crumble with hands. Add hummus, nutritional yeast, basil, salt, and garlic powder. Stir together with your hands until it's semi-smooth and resembles ricotta.
- Place about 1 ½ cups of marinara in the bottom of a 9x13in baking dish. Top with 4 noodles (3 lengthwise and 1 widthwise to cover the gap at the end). Next add half of the ricotta mixture and half of the vegetable mixture. Top with a heaping 1 ½ cups or more of sauce. Repeat with more noodles, tofu mixture, and veggies. Then top with one last layer of noodles and another 1 ½ cups or more of sauce; I went heavy on the sauce because I love sauce! Top with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Notes
TO MAKE GLUTEN-FREE: I love using this brown rice pasta or this green lentil one.
TO FREEZE: This lasagna reheats beautifully from the freezer. You can 1) freeze tightly wrapped/bagged freeze individual portions and reheat from frozen in the microwave OR 2) freeze the whole pan, then when you're ready to bake, let it defrost in the refrigerator overnight and bake the next day. Note that it may take longer to bake depending on how thawed it is.
TO MAKE IN ADVANCE: Assemble the lasagna per the recipe. Instead of baking, wrap tightly with foil and refrigerate until ready to bake. If possible, remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking to allow lasagna to get back to room temperature.
I originally included 1 cup of peas in this recipe but removed them for simplicity. Feel free to add!

I really should leave a 5 star rating since I've made this lasagne countless times. I have please many non-vegan crowds with this dish. It is so delicious, made from simple and inexpensive ingredients, and goes a long way. Absolutely love it!

I haven't made lasagne since going vegan 2 years ago. This was so simple to make but better yet, sooo delicious. My meat eating husband, 2 & 4 year olds loved it too!
★★★★★
Alexis says
Woot woooot!
Anne says
I am going to make this lasagna. Can cut it in half?
Alexis says

Buster Hinojosa says
So good and easy
★★★★★
Alexis says
Thanks a ton, Buster!
Vicki says
This was hands down the best vegan lasagna recipe I’ve ever tried. I love that there is no meat substitute in there and also that I didn’t have to go out and buy vegan cheese. The tofu worked perfectly. All 6 of my family devoured it 👌
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
You made my day, Vicki!!
Amanda says
Only vegan lasagna I'll make! So divine!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
YESSS!! Thanks, Amanda 🙂
Dani says
The BEST vegan lasagna I’ve ever made. Tastes just like the real thing but better! I love a good ricotta cheese so the fact that I can barely tell I’m missing it in this is FABULOUS. Thanks alexis this will be a family go to.
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
HECK YES!! Thanks, Dani!!
Rachel says
I can't get enough of this vegan lasagna! Even the carnivores in the family are big fans. The ricotta is so flavorful and creamy and we love using Rao marinara sauce in it. If I could eat this every week, I'd be one happy gal!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Awww that is the best! I really appreciate your sweet comment, Rachel!
Caleb says
I made this today and it was so easy and so delicious!
REALLY impressed -- perfect dish to win over the non-vegan friends.
Thank you!
🙂
Alexis Joseph says
So glad you loved this, Caleb! If you'd be up for leaving a star rating with your review next time that would be SO awesome!
Alan says
I made it and the raves are true! I do have a few comments:
1. It's delicious
2. It's heavy. Since I have to dairy, I haven't eaten anything so heavy in a long time. It's really really heavy.
3. I'm going to try it with half the ricotta and add riced cauliflower and peas and see if that lightens it.
Thank you for the recipe!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Hey, Alan! I'm sorry you thought it was heavy. Since the ricotta is just hummus and tofu, it's actually very light nutritionally speaking, but I totally understand if the texture seems heavy. I'm not sure riced cauliflower would have the same effect, however. Hope you enjoy!
Marie says
Hello, this recipe looks amazing. Can you substitute eggplant for the zucchini?
Alexis Joseph says
Hi there! That should work just fine. Any veggie is great as long as you sauté the water out. Hope you love it!
Emily Phillips says
Shockingly good
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Thank you so much, Erin!!
Rachel says
This was absolutely delicious! We will definitely make again
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Amazing. Thanks for taking the time to review it, Rachel!
Sidnee says
Okay I've made this about a dozen times now, so I figured I just HAD to leave a review. Hands down the BEST vegan lasagna recipe I've found. I make a vegan gooey cheese sauce that I coat on top and it is truly to die for. The tofu ricotta is just perfect. Thank you thank you thank you!!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
You made my day!! Thanks a ton, Sidnee 🙂
Andie Davis says
I do not like the texture of tofu. Any way to get around this? Tofu takes on the flavor of any dish it is cooked in so that is not the problem. It's the texture for me.
Alexis Joseph says
Hey there! The tofu is the base of the ricotta so there isn't a sub for this recipe. If you like the texture of ricotta, you'll be good!
Chandra says
The peas aren’t in the ingredients list?
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Hi Chandra! I updated this recipe to remove the peas to simplify!
Andrea Simpson says
This dish looks great but has a lot of sodium per serving. Do you really need the salt in the tofu ricotta?
Sarah says
This is hands down the best recipe!! Your tofu ricotta is my go-to now, and the only one I use! This freezes well, and is such a staple in our household. Thanks for the delicious recipe!!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Love that it freezes well, too! Thanks a ton for the lovely review, Sarah.
DONNA says
Amazing recipe. My husband couldn't believe there was no cheese. I used only 1 block of tofu with about 8 ounces of hummus. Also substituted pesto sauce for basil and left out spinach. Grated zucchini right into casserole. So delicious!! We are gluten free and used the Jovial 9 ounce box of lasagna which worked better with 1 block tofu. Thanks for creating a great recipe. I will be saving this one for sure.
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
I'm so glad it worked with those changes! I love pesto so that sounds awesome. Thanks, Donna!
Neil Cain says
Love the flavor of this! It's a hit in our combo vegan/vegetarian household.
The listed prep time of "15 minutes" is completely ridiculous and anyone who makes this recipe for the first time should prepare to spend 30-40 minutes (assuming you have most of the ingredients ready). There's just no way anyone could do this in 15 minutes. I'd even be willing to put money on this fact. You have to wait for a large pot of water to boil, then cook the noodles, then assemble the dish, while sauteing vegetables and while making a ricotta-like mixture.
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
So glad you loved this, Neil! I agree on the prep time--this is an older recipe and that update is definitely needed. I will go adjust!
Jen says
Delicious! And easy. I never make lasagna. I always think of it as such a chore. I actually had fun making this. Mixing up the “ricotta” with my hands and layering all of the components. I did not use peas, but did add some cooked carrot slices. I will double the amount of mushrooms next time I make it. And, sorry, but I did do melted vegan mozzarella on top. Had to! I feel like most of the comments say that this lasagna is good or better the next day. I think it’s significantly better the next day! I will actually bake it the day before next time. We can reheat individual portions in the microwave pretty quick. Unless you have any other suggestions? Thank you so much for the great recipe!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Hahah I totally get that! I reheat it in the microwave, too. So glad you loved it, Jen!
Monika says
Kudos to you for coming up with an this amazing recipe. I’m somewhere between a pescatarian and a vegetarian and don’t/ can’t eat dairy. I like to try different health and tasty options and glad I found this recipe. This was easy to make and delicious! My brother ..the vegan loved it , but so did my meat eating husband and son.
I added some vegan mozzarella, but probably didn’t need it.
I haven’ tried any other vegan lasagna recipients.. but no need to this one is the best!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
That means SO much, Monika. Thank you tons for your kind words!!
Max G says
This is without doubt the best lasagna I’ve ever had!! Just made it for a third time!! Question, when freezing it & thawing out in fridge, how should you rebake it?? Same process as the first time? Thank you!!!
★★★★★
Alexis says
Fabulous!! Yep, just bake it the same 🙂
Emily Green says
If I could give this recipe 10 stars, I would. I've been vegan for years and years and have tried SO many lasagna recipes and they always turn out bland. Since I found this recipe I've probably made it like 14 times! I always double the recipe to make 2 so I can eat one and give the other to a friend (or freeze it for yourself!.) I cannot emphasize how insanely flavorful and delicious this recipe is. Its genius!! The garlic hummus is such an unexpected but smart ingredient that really makes it!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Hahahaha 14 times?! That may be even more than me, AMAZING!! Your review made my day, thank you so much Emily. I'm overjoyed that you love this so much! You must try my Lasagna Soup, too 🙂
Rachel says
This really is the best vegan lasagna. I have shared it with friends and everyone loves it. I always mix up the veggies I put in it and make it gluten free and it turns out fantastic.
Alexis Joseph says
Wonderful, thank you tons Rachel!!
Jordan says
LOVE this recipe! My family usually shys away from any vegan dishes but they loved this dish! It is our go to meal for holidays and family gatherings!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
So glad, thank you Jordan!!
Brea says
This was our fourth time making this lasagna! It is so good each time.
This year for Christmas, I (like so many), was unable to travel to be with my family. Our tradition growing up was Christmas Eve lasagna. Delicious- and not vegan. My partner and I made this tonight to start out own Christmas lasagna tradition and it was so fantastic, and I loved that it was plant based. Thank you for sharing!!!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Awwww you made my day, Brea! So sweet that this has become a tradition 🙂 Happy holidays!!
Amber E Kenyon says
Ok, I was really sad to give up dairy because cheese was life for me. I did it, and this lasagna is AS good, if not BETTER than regular lasagna. My 5 year old picky eater LOVED it too, I've made it three times because it is so good as leftovers as well. We left the zucchini out, but that's the only modification I made. I diced the mushrooms up extra tiny to hide them, and of course used a LOT of sauce. So freaking good!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Yessss! How amazing that your little one loves it, too?! Sooo glad!! Thanks, Amber 🙂
Danielle Duffy says
So glad I found this recipe! I added beyond meat to jarred marinara sauce and wow what a great vegan dish. I didn’t even wish it had dairy cheese on top, the one thing I miss... will be adding this to my monthly rotation. Superb!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Wonderful, I love this Danielle!
Brooke P says
So good. Currently pregnant and I’m just not feeling meat, so I was looking for something with a good amount of protein that I could stomach in the first trimester. I made this and it’s about the only protein/veggie combo that my stomach likes! Bonus, my husband also enjoys it.
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
SO glad it's hubby approved, too 🙂 I hope you start to feel better and CONGRATS!
Sarah E. says
So so so so good! The only problem I ran into was the top layer of noodles. I used the no boil kind and after the 30 mins were up they had absorbed all of the liquid on top, and were still pretty hard. Easy fix, threw some tomato sauce and Italian seasoning on the top and cooked it for 15 more minutes and it was perfect!!! Love love love this recipe. The best part was that I got my picky daughter to eat tofu happily!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Nice! Glad you got it to work out with the no-boil noodles 🙂
Sara says
Our whole family loved this! 🙂 I’ll definitely be making it again!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Yayyy thanks, Sara!
Allyson says
I have made this many times & it is the best lasagna I have ever had! This time how ever I forgot the second package of tofu! Is there any way i can add it after it’s all been made?
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Great!! Thanks so much, Allyson. Unfortunately not since it would have to be mixed with the other ricotta ingredients :/ You can just halve the recipe and make it in an 8x8inch baking dish!
Jerrika says
Hi where did you get your frozen spinach? Also i'm excited to try this!
Alexis Joseph says
You can get frozen spinach anywhere! Kroger, TJ's, Whole Foods, etc. Just look for the loose kind in the bag versus the compact box kind.
Tina says
Made this for dinner last night and it was a hit with the family. Definitely a keeper! Thank you so much for this wonderfully easy to make recipe.

Wonderful--thanks a ton for letting me know the fam loved it, Tina!

Just made this last night and it’s seriously the best vegan lasagne ever! I’m the only vegan in the family but everyone was raving about the recipe 🙌🏻 My favorite thing about the lasagne: the hummus tofu ricotta. It’s divine!

Everyone loved this including my 7 & 10-year-old who can occasionally be picky about food. Will be making again. Also, we used Tinkyada Pasta Joy Brown Rice Pasta and it turned out great.
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
That pasta is so great! Thanks a ton for letting me know, Heidi.
SincerelyB says
I've made this lasagna numerous times. It's always a big hit. My father actually asks me to make him a whole one he can freeze and put in his freezer occasionally when he misses it. My husband loves this lasagna as well. It's also a mammoth of a lasagna and so it's perfect to feed a grouo?!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Awwww you made my day! So glad to know it freezes well, too!
Caroline says
This recipe was so delicious and satisfied my major pasta cravings! I halved the recipe and it still worked great. Thanks for a great recipe!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Sweet! It makes a LOT so glad to know you successfully cut it in half!
Lauren says
This is absolutely delicious! I’ve made it twice and everyone loves it. The only thing I’d mention though is it definitely takes longer than 15 mins to prep this! Both times it took me a solid hour of work before putting it in the oven. Def worth it because it’s delicious, but just thought people should know!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
So glad you loved it!
Shelby says
Is there a mistake in the amount of sauce needed? 1 1/2 cups x 3 = 4 1/2 cups. Thanks!
Alexis Joseph says
Nope! I go heavy with sauce, but you can use as much or as little as you'd like!
Julie uwu says
So delicious! I appreciate this recipe so much as someone with lactose intolerance. The rest of my family also loved it. I think I would add more veggies for my personal preference. I even froze some pieces since the recipe does make a lot and they reheated perfectly. Overall, love the recipe and after making it the first time I think it is a relatively simple dish to make again in the near future!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Wonderful, I'm thrilled that you and your family loved it, Julie! Thanks for the kind review.
Sarah Koefod says
So good we made an extra dish and froze it!! My family in Texas is trying new vegan recipes since I recently started eating vegan and they all loved it! They have about 5 freezers full of meat so if they loved it you will too haha

I have been preparing this recipe with a few veggie changes and it is always a success. Thanksgiving, Christmas, B’earthday party and my wedding reception this past Saturday! The veggies I use are roasted red bell pepper, mushrooms and kale. Everything else is the same. Meat eaters like it and vegan/ vegetarian friends and family appreciate something other than salad and veggie burgers! Thank you so much for this recipe.
Alexis Joseph says
Love it! Adding mushrooms is so fabulous. I feel you on the variety! If you'd be up for leaving a star rating with your review next time, I'd be so grateful! It helps other find my recipes 🙂

Sania Saeed says
I made this yesterday. It was absolutely sensational. I need to make more because it finished faster than I anticipated. Such a great recipe. The only parts where I deviated: added a bit more tofu. I'm Aussie so we go by grams/kg. I added 1 kg of extra firm tofu. I didn't press it - there was a bit of "juice" at the bottm of the pasta dish, but everybody ate it juice and all. I'm planning on making this again...and again 🙂
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
SO glad you liked it!
Maya says
Reasons to read and believe my review:
1. Lasagna is one of my most favorite dishes, and in general I love Italian food.
2. My mom's homemade lasagna is the best I have ever tasted, and I eat out quite a bit and also grew up in an all Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn and have tasted secret family lasagna recipes.
3. When I first turned vegan, my friends were flabbergasted because they could not picture me in their minds without me holding a brick of cheese in both hands. Hello, my name is (blank) and I am a cheese addict.
Review:
1. This lasagna recipe tastes like the real thing. It tastes like ricotta cheese. I know this statement is not powerful when read in your mind, so say it out loud. THIS TASTES LIKE REAL RICOTTA CHEESE. I'm just absolutely shocked. I have not found any recipe that can mimic the FEEL of cheese, but this one nailed ricotta. NAILED IT!!!!
2. This recipe is damn good. Sooooo flavorful! Corona forced me to learn to cook, so still a newbie, but even I couldn't mess this up. I've had trouble with figuring out the right amount of seasoning when I cook, sometimes its too much sometimes its not enough. I have no idea how to eyeball it. This recipe is SO PREFECT with its seasonings amounts. I wish I had a more robust vocabulary to truly explain how phenomenal it tastes.
3. This is really really really filling. I'm a girl, average height and weight, sometimes above average appetite. If I'm really hungry, I'll have 2 pieces. If I'm really hungry and want to be a fat ass, I'll put 3 pieces on my plate, feel uncomfortably full about 2.5 pieces in, and then hate myself after i finish the remaining half piece. I had leftovers for almost a week. This can be good if you hate to cook, but if you prefer multiple meals a week, try halving the recipe.
Things I would change:
1. I had to bake in the oven for 45 min instead of 30. At 30 min, the middle came out warm but not hot. Not necessarily a bad thing, I personally like cold food, especially leftovers.
2. Use half the ricotta mix and add more veggies. I need to incorporate more veggies in my life and what better way than to drench them in sauce and (plant-based) cheese, then wrap them in carbs for good measure. The only reason I would use only half the ricotta mixture is because the lasagna would be huge and overflow from the pan. Also, I'd have leftovers for a month.
3. Instead of using garlic powder in the ricotta, I want to try sauteing 3-4 large gloves and adding that in instead.
Extra info:
1. I reheat leftovers in the oven instead of microwave. Pop it in a small oven safe dish, cover in foil, bake at 400 degrees for 40-45 min. And my lasagna is always stored in the fridge, not freezer.
2. For those who don't know how to drain tofu, because I sure didn't when I went about making this dish, let me save you time and energy in researching and you-tubing. i created a tofu towel sandwich for each tofu block, so in order it went (dish towel -> paper towel -> tofu <- paper towel <- dish towel). Take your tofu towel sandwich and place it on the kitchen counter or on a plate (use kitchen counter for easy wipe down and less dishes). Put a plate or cutting board on top of tofu towel sandwich, then put 3 cans of whatever canned foods (~15 ounces per can) on EACH of the tofu blocks. So this recipe calls for 2 blocks of tofu, you'll need 6 cans in total, or maybe you have weights at home or books of anything heavy. As long as its 2-3 lbs per tofu block. Leave sitting for 30 min up to 2 hours. Voila, drained and pressed tofu.
3. I added a tablespoon of olive oil to the boiling water for the noodles to keep them from sticking together and then ripping. Worked like a charm.
I still think my mom's recipe is better, but I'm biased because I love my mom.

Alexis Joseph says
Maya, kudos to you for challenging yourself and learning to cook AND giving quite possible the best review ever of this lasagna. Thank you! I started this blog as a resource for approachable recipes that anyone could cook, so people could get back to food being fun again versus stressful. So the fact that this lasagna has been that kind of recipe to you brings me SO much joy. If it makes you feel better, I ALWAYS have two pieces, and it's always paired with homemade garlic bread. Gotta do it right! "Wrap them in carbs for good measure"--my favorite part. Thank you again for the lovely words and for making me smile. Once it's not 90 degrees out, you should try my vegan lasagna soup 🙂
Luke says
This recipe was quite good and easy to make! I also love how healthy the ingredients are.
As others have mentioned I needed to bake this far longer than listed - for me 50 minutes covered + 15 uncovered got the desired result
Alexis Joseph says
Glad you loved it! It's good to know that the cooking time depends on the noodles as my store brand whole wheat noodles take 30 minutes. Thanks for the feedback, Luke!
Maclean Nash says
I was bit skeptical going into this recipe because:
1) I've never made lasagna before and quite honestly, it intimated me.
2) I've never made a dupe of ricotta before and thought it could go one of two ways.
But, your recipes have never let me down before so I went for it!
And...WOW! I am so glad I did (and so is my BF).
While making the "cheese" I tasted it and was blown away because it was so incredibly tasty and it did look like ricotta! I will be making that again just to have on hand and use as a spread.
The final product was DELICIOUS and everything you want a lasagna to be!
I even used GF noodles and when I said they were the best GF noodles Ive had, my boyfriend said, "This is vegan AND gluten free?! I would never have guessed!".
Another winner from Alexis! Thank you so much, I wish I had made this sooner!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
That's the ultimate compliment! I really appreciate your thoughtful comment and for giving this a try. Enjoy the leftovers!

Definitely going to try this recipe this weekend! Would I be able to use regular lasagna noodles instead of spinach lasagna sheets?
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Hi! I'm not sure what you mean by spinach lasagna sheets versus noodles? The recipe calls for regular lasagna noodles.
Madison says
Just made this tonight!! So good!! Will definitely be making again. I put mushrooms only on 1 half because my husband doesn't like them. So we had his & hers halves! I think this is a dish my meat and dairy eating family members will like as well!

Alexis Joseph says
So glad you made it your own, thanks Madison!
Melissa says
I love a good and healthy lasagna recipe. I'm excited to make this at home! I would recommend adding some minced garlic to the lasagna mix too.
★★★★★
Tristan A Black says
This recipe is crazy good. I had it at a dinner party and got the recipe. Then I made it for my meat-eating Italian husband and he loves it! Ate it for leftovers for days! I added spice and peas (cuz I had them). I also use this cheese mixture to top pizzas and other foods. Way better and healthier than fake cheeses.

Alexis Joseph says
Heck yes! Thank you so much for your kind comment, Tristan.

Audrey says
This really is the BEST vegan lasagna. I follow the recipe pretty loosely but the tofu ricotta is absolutely amazing and mind blowing every time. My boyfriend is not vegan and his favorite dish is lasagna and he is totally sold on this version. He likes it just about as much as a regular dairy lasagna. He’s not huge on veggies in his lasagna so I just grate a couple zucchini and sauté until soft and use that instead of the whole veg mix. Would work well for kids too, you can barely tell it’s there! I love how sneakily healthy and protein packed this recipe is.
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
You da best!! I love the idea of grated lasagna here so you barely know it's there. Cheers to lasagna night!!
Tina says
This is my go to lasagna recipe. It is simply awesome and not difficult to make. I usually put more zucchini, mushrooms, peas and Sautéed with a whole bunch of raw baby spinach but I don’t have any little kids (however I do have adult kids...) at home and our diet is plant based. No animal produc.ts. Thank you for posting this recipe!

Amaaaaaazing! Can not believe how tasty this is.

The ingredients are all good, I would cut back on the amount of tofu it seemed to be a bit much. I also added roasted red pepper to my hummus which was amazingly good. Great recipe otherwise I will be adding it to my favorites.

Hi Alexis,
I have made this numerous times.....it is absolutely delicious. Everyone who tries it raves about it (and of course a I share the recipe). I love the fact it has hummus and tofu in it....win-win ❤️
I do add any veg I have which just adds to the deliciousness.
Due to the corona virus, I am making this today and freezing in portions. Stay safe everyone ❤️
Thank you.

My husband and I were both completely skeptical about this vegan ricotta. But, since we started preparing kosher meals at home, I was excited to try it. We were both SHOCKED at how realistic the ricotta was!! He has been savoring every scrap of the leftovers. Cannot wait to make again!!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Wow, what a compliment! It's pretty wild how much it resembles ricotta, right?!
Margaret says
Sounds delicious. I'm going to make it soon. I don't know why you listed it as having any cholesterol in your nutrition information though; since it is vegan it has zero cholesterol.
Alexis Joseph says
Good catch! I use an online nutrition calculator--no idea how it spit that out given the ingredients, but I'll update to be zero. Thanks!

Great recipe, was a hit with the kids! Question, do you think wilted kale would work in place of spinach or do you think it would be too bitter/fibrous? Thanks for your thoughts!

Erin says

Instead of the 12 oz of frozen spinach, I'm going to try the pulp from my juicer--kale, spinach, & parsley. I'll let you know how it turns out!

Teresa says
I’m so excited to make this but do I have to use frozen spinach or can I use fresh? If so, how much should I use? Thanks!

I use fresh spinach! If you use frozen, you can eyeball it but be sure all the water is squeezed out.
CB says
I have never written a public post before but this recipe was so good, I felt compelled. Just started plant based eating and this is my first recipe using tofu. The lasagna was absolutely delicious! And I found the longer I let it sit, the more flavorful it was! Just want to say thank you so much for an easy and delicious recipe! Never knew meatless could taste so good. Looking forward to making it again!!!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Thank you TONS for the glowing review, CB! That makes me so happy 🙂 Let me know if you try anything else on the site!

Becca Fox TN says
SO DANG GOOD! Believe the gazillion 5-star ratings! I was not expecting this recipe to be good - it is so different from any way I've made lasagna in the past. Now that we are primarily dairy free though, I have been missing lasagna! I might never make the "normal" kind again - this one was SO good! I also used gluten free lasagna noodles from Palmini!
★★★★★

WOWZA!! Your review made me smile from ear to ear, Becca. I'm so glad the GF noodles worked well for you, too! Happy eating 🙂

Angela says
This recipe was EXCELLENT. I added a little bit of red pepper flakes to my mushroom/zucchini/spinach mix, I drained some of the liquid from my veggies through a strainer and I added just a little no cheese on the top of the finished meal. This is the first recipe that I've ever used tofu in. I am astonished at how much the tofu tasted like ricotta. ..seriously. it was a beautiful meal with many textures and tastes. So happy I took the time to prepare..
Thank you!!
Alexis Joseph says
Thank you so much, Angela! Hopefully you're eager to experiment more with tofu now 🙂 Next time if you're up for it, I'd be super grateful if you could leave a star rating ti encourage others to make the recipe, too. Cheers!
Debra says
Alexis, thank-you so much for sharing this AMAZING recipe! OMG! I just made it and had to have a piece as soon as it came out of the oven even though I just ate lunch. It is fantabulous!, I didn't change a thing. Do you know if if freezes well?
Thank-you, thank-you!
Alexis Joseph says
I'm so glad! I've never frozen it, but let me know if you do. Enjoy!

Susan F says
We were blown away by this recipe. I made it for Christmas Eve dinner with my vegan friends and one of them had 4 servings (he initially didn't trust me that there was such a thing)! Very flavorful, and easy to make. The combination of tofu and hummus was a good match for ricotta. I would add a little more seasoning next round but other than that, perfect...even with my meat eating family members!
Alexis Joseph says
Epic! I'm so thrilled that this dish made your Christmas Eve menu and that everyone loved it. How special!!
Alexis Joseph says

Nancy Rexwinkel says
I am definitely going to try this recipe! I also wonder about freezing it to use as a make ahead dish. With so many people asking this question over the years, wouldn't it be a good idea to try freezing it both before and after baking so you can provide an answer in your blog? I know that I would appreciate the information!
Alexis Joseph says
Hope you love it, Nancy! I wish I had the time to test freezing all my recipes but unfortunately I don't. That said, I freeze pretty much everything (post bake) and typically it's fine 🙂
Gretchen says
O.M.G! I've made lots of tofu ricottas, but was intrigued by all the amazing reviews so I gave it a shot. WOOOW!! Hubby, who rarely finishes a big plate, ate THREE and helped finish the kids' plates! I mean licked clean! I ate more than I care to admit, and it barely lasted through lunch the next day... I made my own hummus, sauce, and noodles, then topped with cashew cream sauce. Used all of the veg we had on hand-carrots, broccoli, zucchini, spinach, mushrooms, and onion. This will definitely be in our rotation! This is one of our top 5 dishes, and best lasagna EVER!! It's up there with my award winning tofu enchiladas that everybody begs me to make every holiday/get-together! Thank you so much for a new favorite!!
Alexis Joseph says
Yessss! Your comment made my night, Gretchen! I'm seriously so pumped about how much you loved it! Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know, and may there be many more joyous lasagna night in your future! XO

Julia H says
OMG. This is amazing. I have made it twice already. I am vegan, my husband is not. He will try what I make (usually). He requested me to leave the peas out (and neither of us like mushrooms)
He has his own "rating system" for things I make. "Eh, it's ok.", "I'd try it again" and "This is COMPANY good!!!" Well, he said company good! (and he hates hummus!) His Dad even loved it. Awesome recipe. Turns out great every time! Freezes great to heat up later also.
Alexis Joseph says
Awwww I'm so thrilled! NOTHIN' like company good 🙂 You've got a keeper, Julia! Thanks a ton for sharing the love and letting me know. XO
Nina says
Our family LOVES this recipe! Thank you! Our little "edits" are ... we use gluten-free lasagne noodles (our youngest has celiac)... I use 2 zucchini, a whole 10oz bag of frozen peas, and 10 oz of fresh baby spinach, wilted in at the end. You cannot have too many veggies packed into this yummy dinner! I'm also very generous with the fresh basil.
Alexis Joseph says
Mmmmm love those edits! And I totally agree about fresh basil...the more the merrier. Thanks for the review, Nina!
Pei says
This is the best vegan lasagna recipe ever! My non-vegan family asked for it during holidays. I did notice that the tofu ricotta does not get heated through in 30 min and if it doesn't it smelled like it would go bad quickly the next day. I just leave it in the oven for 1 hr and it is fine.
Alexis Joseph says
Thanks for the feedback, Pei! I've never had an issue with tofu not heating through or the odd smell but glad you did what worked for ya!
Tamara says
I used your ricotta to fill pasta shells and served for dinner! My husband loved it and had me make it for his friends at work and my sister who is not a vegan said she liked tofu ricotta better than real ricotta!! Haha yes!
Alexis Joseph says
Love it! See this recipe as well 🙂 https://www.hummusapien.com/vegan-stuffed-shells-with-the-best-tofu-ricotta/
Penny says
Not just the best vegan lasagna ever, but the best Lasagna ever. Even my husband who swears he hates tofu raved about it. I made it as directed, except I used fresh homemade pasta in place of the whole wheat noodles-FABULOUS! Thanks for sharing
Alexis Joseph says
Fresh homemade pasta?! You are amazing!!
Maple says
I made this for Rosh Hashanah and it was SUPER delicious and it is the best vegan lasagna we have and best thing is, no nuts! definitely a keeper 🙂 I did not use mushrooms and peas and made my own marinara sauce using whole Italian tomatoes in a tin, crushed by hands and cooked the sauce with the usual suspect spices for total 8 minutes. Thank you for sharing this!
Alexis Joseph says
Mmmm homemade marinara sounds fantastic. Thanks for the feedback, Maple!
Talita says
Can I use eggplant instead of mushroom?
Alexis Joseph says
If you cook it down really well first so it's tender, sure!
Rose says
Thanks for this lovely recipe. I did it twice and both times it was a success. I didn't have hummus the second time so I replaced with a bit of almond puree. And it worked 🙂
I also did the marinara sauce myself which took me a bit of more time but it worths it ! I cooked for my sister and her husband who are not vegan, nor vegetarian and usually eat meat in almost every meal and they did appreciate, which is super encouraging, having positive feedbacks from non-vegan people, and start to open up their minds to this whole new world !
Alexis says
Thanks for sharing, Rose! That's great that almond pulp worked, too. Cheers!
Chelsea says
So excited to make this! I am new to using tofu though. I know there's all sorts of variations of it..firm, extra firm etc. Which one do you use for this recipe?
Alexis says
Extra firm, per the recipe! Pressing the tofu is key. Enjoy 🙂
Amelia says
This was the very first vegan recipe I ever attempted, it was delicious. I made it for a vegan I had just started dating at the time. We got married a year later, I still think the is the recipe that sealed the deal! I make it for him once a year, only on his birthday. I want it to remain special...
Alexis says
Thank you so much, Amelia! That is the best feedback 🙂 Love to hear this!
Christina says
This is possibly the most delicious lasagna that I have ever made! OMG! I have two neices that are vegan and I made it for them. My hubby didn't even realize there was no meat in it and that there was tofu! He is lactose intolerant and thought he was eating cheese. He was so thrilled it was different than what I usually make, he didn't care. Now this is the only one I'm allowed to make! lol! Thank you so much for sharing with us 🙂
Alexis says
Best news ever!! The ultimate compliment when a carnivore can't get enough 🙂
Jeanne Hayden says
can I make the vegan lasagna ahead of time and bake later?
Alexis says
I haven't tried it so I'm not sure, sorry!
Amanda says
Is the 10 cups of marinara a mistake or correct? That sounds like way too much.
Alexis says
Nope, it's correct! But you can use less for sure This make A LOT and with all the layers, the sauce goes quick. Totally depends on your preference, though!
Mitali says
I recently made this for the first time and it was so yummy, thank you! My question though is how long do you usually leave your tofu in the press? I have the same one as you and it works great, I'm just not sure how long to leave it in there. Thank you again for all your wonderful recipes!
hummusapien says
I do it for like 20-30 min or however long I have time!
Joanne Graves says
I made this last week and took it church knowing I'd be able to bring most of it home to freeze since my husband and I are the only non animal eaters. And I was wrong. Everyone loved it!

Thank you so much for this recipe! I found it hunting for healthy recipes because my boyfriend wants to learn more about cooking and making me good food (I'm a foodie veggie and he's a "totally doesn't care as long as it's edible" omnivore). He decided to make it as a Valentine's Day dinner. He made it completely without guidance, he even shooed me out of the kitchen! It's been a huge hit for everyone in the house, veggie and omi alike. I've not had a lot of luck with cheese replacements but the tofu really works for a very similar element. We'll definitely be repeating this one! <3

Alexis says
I’ve never tried it—I think the tofu ricotta is the star of the recipe 🙂 but any ricotta with dairy or without I’d assume would work fine.

Seonaid Whitefield says
This recipe surprised me. I wasn’t sure how the tofu would be, I’m newly whole food plant based and not always sure about the tofu. My husband who isn’t eating this way, but eats the same meals most nights, said this was awesome, better than other veggie lasagna’s he had tried. I didn’t read through all the comments, but can this be frozen for later after cooking? It just makes so much, and there’s just the 2 of us, but if we could freeze it, I’d have a night without cooking! 🙂

Hey Alexis, I was kind of wondering because I noticed a comment about you chatting about calories with a different reader. The reader asked about a discrepancy in calorie calculation, which you seemed to be encouraging counting every calorie in an obviously healthful recipe. She said, "If it's 220 then it'll leave room for seconds." Last I checked, IE principles dictate that your internal hunger cues command you to stop, not a silly number. I'd appreciate you shedding some light on this seemingly disordered behavior.
P.S. I hope it does't feel judgemental--I'm a big fan of yours and am honestly just confused.& I LOOOOVE this recipe. Tastes like the real deal!! 🙂
Best, Celeste

Hey there, Celeste. I'm guessing the comment you're referring to wasn't recent? I wrote that post over 2 years ago, well before I transitioned to promoting intuitive eating in 2017.
After I made the shift, I went through my popular posts, including the lasagna, and not only deleted the nutrition information from the recipe (which is something I used to calculate for readers and now don't even though I get asked to provide that info weekly), but also removed verbiage about calories and the like that used to be in the post. If you read any of my content over the last year on the blog or social media, you'd see that I never talk about calories let alone "encourage every calorie" as my goal is to help people find joy in food and heal their relationship with food. I do my best, but I'm not perfect! Hope this helps 🙂

Hi! You can use no-boil noodles that don't require cooking but if they're regular lasagna noodles, they definitely need to be cooked ahead of time. Enjoy!

Hi there!! I was wondering - if you’ve tried this recipe with uncooked lasagne sheets? Or is cooking them before using them totally necessary?
Thanks!

This is so delicious and even great warmed up the next day. I would however add more of the veggies and cut down on the tofu slightly to make a nice balance.

Hello Alexis,
First, thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I've been looking for a good vegan lasagna. I'm not a vegetarian but my wife is allergic to dairy and doesn't like the fake-cheese substitutes I've used previously. Cashew cream, a staple in so many vegan lasagnas, is also out due to allergies in one of my kids.
I love love love this recipe. I don't even know what to say. I made it for the first time last night. My kids thought I was crazy when they watched me make the tofu ricotta. But they eagerly gobbled it down once I put the finished product on the table.
We have leftovers for tonight. I don't even like leftovers, but right now I am sneaking a "bonus" slice for myself before dinner (sorry family!). I will be sad when our lasagna pan is empty after Tuesday night dinner.
I have a question for you: I don't have a big repertoire of "go- to" vegan recipes. Your lasagna is going to the top of the list. Can you kindly tell me what are some other good "gateway" recipes for non-vegans on your blog?
Thanks!

TARA MCMEANS says
Even the non-vegans loved this recipe at my night-before-Earth-Day Green Dinner! Thank you so much! I'm not vegan, but I've wanted to master a few very satisfying vegan dishes so my vegan friends can easily be included at dinner gatherings. Not being experienced at cooking with tofu, I wish you would have mentioned that THE PRESSING AND DRAINING OF TOFU IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PREP TIME! Good thing I prepped the veggie mixture and the 'ricotta' the night before. Assembling the lasagna took about 15 minutes the night of the dinner, so it all worked out - all the time was worth it. I'm anxious to see how the portion I froze holds up once defrosted. I'll let you know!
★★★★★
Alexis says
So glad you liked it, Tara! I usually drain and press for about 20 minutes while I get the other ingredients out and sauté the veggies. Even if you press it between paper towels for a couple minutes, it’ll still turn out just fine. Shouldn’t add to the prep time very much!
Ellen says
One of my favorite vegan recipes. Even when I was eating dairy I avoided making lasagna because all that cheese is really expensive (I live in NYC). This is super-delicious. I'm posting because last night a friend who's staying with us wanted to cook us dinner and I requested this recipe - he's a meat-a-holic and I think it opened his eyes a little bit to the possibilities of vegan cooking. Thanks for sharing!

In the ingredients there is stated that I need from 2 to 14 oz tofu. The amount depends on what?

It means 2 packages of tofu, so about 28oz total.

This lasagna was delicious!!! It was also very straight forward to make for a lasagna! Absolutely loved it and my meat eating husband really enjoyed it too. I followed the recipe exactly and used whole grain rice noodles (cooked them slightly beforehand). I also used lots of sauce per the suggestion!
Not in the recipe, but I topped the lasagna with earth island "mozzarella cheez" and while not overly healthy, it was a delish addition!!!!
Thanks for this recipe that I will absolutely use again!

Beatrice Perkins says
I made this last night for my boyfriend and kids. They loved it and actually opted to eat it instead of the meat version he had bought from the supermarket. This is THE FIRST TIME I have ever made tofu taste good!!! (and I've been meat free for over 30 years). I'm excited. Proud, and ready for the next venture. I didn't make the sauce from scratch, because I was in a hurry, but even with jarred sauce (which I drained the liquid from) this was a hit. Today = leftovers for lunch!

Hi! I’ve been plant based for about 6 months now, and this is the first time I’ve seen a lasagna recipe that I’m totally drawn to! But, I have a super random allergy to sesame seeds, so no tahini, no hummus for me. If I can manage to make/find a tahini-free garlic hummus, will the elimination of that ingredient affect the final flavor or texture at all? Thanks for any insight you can provide 🙂
Alexis says
Hey, Tara! You do need the hummus as it provides flavor and moisture. You should definitely be able to find a tahini-free hummus. I think Trader Joe’s has one! If you can’t find one, I’d make your own at hummus at home with chickpeas, olive oil, lemon, garlic, and salt ?

We have gluten and casein allergies so my wife suggested polenta. I cut it supper thin and layered it like the noodles. I made a meat sauce (we have no allergies to that) but layered in artichoke. Peas. Mushroom. Spinach. And zucchini). It was badass. My 14 yr old son wants me to make it every week now. Punched up the spices a bit too. More garlic and I ground the fennel seed but basically the same.

I've been a vegan for several years now, vegetarian even longer. I've probably made this recipe at least 10 times now and thought I would post a thank you for creating such a fabulous lasagna. It really is so good. I tweak it by adding minced garlic into the oil before cooking the mushrooms and zucchini. Also, I add a big handful of sliced Calmata olives into the ricotta. It's a family favorite!

Delicious, easy recipe... I love that the knife skill requirement approaches zero! It is a busy dish to prepare, but reheats really well if you make ahead too. I'll be making this again (and again)!
Marty says
I’m a confirmed carnivore and hunter, but I’ve travelled alot and come from a long line of chefs, so love all kinds of food.
My recently acquired step-daughter is vegetarian but, like many teenagers, thinks that means you can just eat peanut butter and ramen noodles. I’ve been trying to teach her to cook healthy vegetarian, at least. When she brought me this recipe I was happy to help her make it.
All I can say is “WOW”. It’s that good. We just made our second batch tonight.
We made a couple slight modifications - added some textured vegetable protein to the tofu/hummus mix for a meatier texture (and more protein), sliced the zucchini and mushrooms on a mandolin (makes for better layering) and I found the 30 min. cook time left the zuchini undercooked. 45-50 was much better.

I’ve made this twice already (with some of my own variations!) and the family loves it! I’m the only vegan in the household so when I cook something they love AND it’s vegan it’s a double win for me! I would like to say that I have a large amount of the tofu mixture left. I tried using more of it the second time I made it but still ended up with a large amount left. I’d recommend only using one package of the tofu and not 2. That being said, do you think it’s possible to freeze the reminding tofu for future use? I made it on Tues and will be making another lasagna next Saturday (11days) so I assume it won’t be good anymore if keptnin fridge. I’m not sure if it will get too watery if I freeze and then thaw. Suggestions?

Let me just preface this by saying- I absolutely hate lasagna. But my meat-eater boyfriend was craving it for dinner so I decided to try it. When searching for recipes, this one was the most appetizing looking and easiest to prepare. OMG it was SO good!!!! He looked at me and said this was the best meal I've ever made him (he's not a fan of nooch, but didn't even notice it) It wasn't soggy like most lasagnas can be and had a great variety of textures. I will definitely be making this again- we both went in for seconds. SO GOOD!!!

Let me just preface this by saying- I absolutely hate lasagna. But my meat-eater boyfriend was craving it for dinner so I decided to try it.

This is the first time I've ever made lasagna of any type in my life. Everyone in my family loved it--including me! Even my two year old started eating and said "I like it, Mommy." The only thing I'm wondering about is when I put all the recipe ingredients in my fitness pal (for 15 servings because I did smaller pieces), it spit out 368 calories per serving. What am I doing wrong? I hope yours is right because 220 cals even leaves room for seconds 😉

Amazing! The problem will online nutrition calculators is that they'll all split out different numbers. You have to put in exact ingredients and check that they're accurate. Some entries for 1/2 cup oats say 150 calories, and some say 300 calories--you really have to check for accuracy! Hope this helps 🙂

I wish someone could answer this question. I love this lasagna recipe and would love to add it to my Thanksgiving table. Anyone?
Alexis says
Hey Valerie! I’ve never tried freezing it but I’m guessing it could work? You’d of course have to cook it longer. I’d do some googling and if you find other people freezing lasagnas, you should be fine. My only concern is the ricotta drying out since tofu looses moisture when frozen.

I made the lasagna last night next to the traditional lasagna for my ultimate meat eating family. I was not disappointed! I switched out the noodles for eggplant. I have been a vegan for a total of 4 days? This is a great recipe for those who miss cheese. I didn't even regret not eating the traditional dish!

THIS WAS AMAZING. I never take the time to comment on blogs, but this dish even impressed my carnivore best friend (I didn't tell him it was vegan until after he ate it). My mom and dad loved it and my boyfriend ate all the leftovers by the next day. The "ricotta" is phenomenal.. Seriously. Make this.

Oh my, this is so good. Never would have thought about putting hummus in lasagna. This is my all time favorite lasagna recipe. It's so filling. I used clasico fire roasted tomato and garlic sauce, safeway organic roasted garlic hummus. The only mods were added fresh cracked pepper, regular lasagna noodles, and an extra 2 ounce of spinach to use up the whole bag. So good.

Wow! This tasted great! My sisters are always trying to eat vegan foods since we looked into a healthier alternative for pretty much everything. We've been wanting to make lasagna for a long time now but find a way to do it without cheese. This was just perfect and my family loves it. It was light and the cheese ricotta tastes just like cheese except healthier and better. I will make this dish again for my friends in the future. Thank you.

Just made this for my carnivore dad and cheese-obsessed boyfriend... They absolutely loved it! Second helpings all round! Only changes I made were I used fresh spinach and I couldn't find garlic hummus so I used caramelised onion hummus instead, which worked really nicely. Seriously this was so delicious I could not recommend it more highly, for both vegans and non-vegans! It was super easy to make, but very impressive at the same time! I'm going to be making this all the time! Thank you so much for this gorgeous recipe!

This is literally so amazing. Everyone who I've made it for lauds me as this incredible cook and when I say I was just following this recipe they ask me to send it to them.

Made the vegan lasagna for a vegan dinner guest and it was quite good, but the prep and cooking times were off. Way more than 15 minutes prep to sautée , mix, and assemble and the cooking time at 350 to serve cooked through and hot was closer to 50 minutes.

I just did that the other day. Assembled it on a Sunday and baked it on Monday. I was worried that it would be too mushy, but it turned out fine. The only difference was b/c it came out of the fridge, the cook time increased - instead of 30 min, it took about 50 to get things bubbling.

Recently I have been on a quest for vegetarian lasagna ideas. This one sounds good tasting but cannot support it as healthy. First I would never use tofu. In case you haven't kept abreast, soy is not a healthy food stuff, particularly if it is not fermented. Much information available for you to read on this. Several good articles on Mercola.com and most like Green Medicine as well as other places of considerable validity.
Second, the noodles are clearly not Paleo so I hope you are not implying they are. For people trying to cut sugar, these noodles are big carbs. All grains break down to sugar in the body.
What I can suggest positively is to make a mushroom cream sauce instead of tofu. I don't use cashews because of the cost but they are quite good to use as you do. I am interested in experimenting with some coconut flour or other seed flours and would consider adding olive oil for richness. I have invested recently in a mandolin that can slice 1/2" pieces of eggplant or other veggies to use instead of noodles. They work beautifully with the homemade tomato sauce and whatever green veggie of choice. I personally like the bitter green like mustard, or turnip, but kale or chard work equally well. I tend to sauté the greens with onion and garlic and what ever other spices within arms reach.
It seems important to me that one not call foods that promote sugar increase in the body as healthy even if they taste good--we were all raised to be sugar addicts. And please don't promote soy as healthy--this was a major marketing push by Big Ag looking to promote the highly disastrous concept of mono-culture in this country and had nothing to do with health. The concept of the Japanese eating tofu is also mythological as they don't eat it except in very small amounts and usually fermented as in tamari or miso or natto. Big Ag pushed eating 4-8 oz/daily to sell this noxious stuff. And today about 95% of it is GMO which should clearly be a big NO, NO when creating recipes.
Hope you will consider these thoughts as you produce your culinary delights.

Alexis says
Hey there, Tanya! I appreciate the time you took to write a thoughtful comment; however I have to respectfully disagree. You can find thousands of articles on the internet demonizing soy for mimicking estrogen and just as many supporting soy for the anti-cancer properties and antioxidant capacity of of its bioactive compound, isoflavones. You can also find a million articles on hotly debated foods like dairy, meat, sugar, grains, and pretty much every other food there is (perhaps besides kale, but even with that you'll find research on oxalates.) When it comes to soy, my beliefs as a registered dietitian with a masters degree in nutrition are of the latter. I've spent a lot of time researching soy. Contrary to popular belief, research shows that soy actually protects against breast cancer, along with prostate cancer and heart disease. The phytochemicals in soy reduce inflammation and prevent the activation of proteins that promote cell growth commonly seen with these cancers (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2981011/). Research shows that soy may also provide relief from menopausal symptoms. I fully support the notion that eating organic whole food sources of soy a couple times a week is completely safe. I'm not advocating that my readers replace their lunch every day with tofu, and if you look at my recipe archives, they largely contain recipes with other sources of plant-based proteins. I'm simply providing a healthy, dairy-free version of lasagna that tastes just like the original. And yes, fermented soy like tempeh and miso are even better than tofu. I'm not advising my readers to buy frozen veggie burgers and protein bars made with soy protein isolate.
Regarding the noodles, they are of course not paleo as they are grains. Regarding sweeteners, I advise my clients and readers to use less processed sweeteners in smaller amounts (maple syrup, coconut sugar, raw honey, etc.) and also firmly believe in balance--a life without indulging here and there is no life I want to live. Dr. Mercola recently wrote an article titled "Worrying About Your Health Can Make You Sick." He goes on to say that "being neurotic can double your risk of Alzheimer's." Using fear mongering (demonizing all sugar, grains, soy, really anything) to encourage people to eat healthier is NOT my style. Thanks again for reading!

So glad you replied kindly to her lengthy comment with your evidence based, professional and balanced opinion. You promote healthy eating , healthy thinking!

I am also a dietitian and came across this recipe today after making some homemade pasta and thinking...hey! I should make lasagna for dinner! I'll be trying this one out for sure. I also want to agree with the Pam's previous comment. As nutrition professionals, it is so important to share evidence based nutrition information in a respectful way. I agree wholeheartedly with your response and am happy to hear there are other RDs out there who believe in the goodness and power of vegetarian/vegan protein sources and whole food eating! Keep doing what you're doing!

Judy Dugan-Furman says
Can I make this the day before and than cook it?

Hmmm I’ve never tried that. I would make the tofu ricotta and cook veggies ahead of time and then assemble before you bake.

Hello Alexis,
AWESOME reply!!! I was seething when I read that comment. Your reply made all the plant based angels sing. I love this recipe and the ease of it ( I'm visiting my son who has limited kitchen appliances, was SO happy to see a 'ricotta ' recipe that doesn't need a blender or food processor. And the veg, all of it it perfection! I'm excited to make this! THANK YOU!! So happy google listed this first!!! I'm now going to look through all your recipes! But first, I have a lasagna to make 🙂

As a nutrition grad student, I absolutely loved reading your respectful yet informative and evidence backed response. Especially in this day and age of our country, it is so important that we use our nutritional knowledge powers for good and for proper and respectful education. This was a 5 star response in that! Thank you for helping to show me a positive way to put that while still remaining firm in the science and not in the drama. I appreciated reading this!
Also, I can't WAIT to make this lasagna this week!!! At my food service rotation today, everyone taste tested a delicious smelling lasagna so I have been craving a vegan version ever since. Nom!

And please don't promote soy as healthy--this was a major marketing push by Big Ag looking to promote the highly disastrous concept of mono-culture in this country and had nothing to do with health. The concept of the Japanese eating tofu is also mythological as they don't eat it except in very small amounts and usually fermented as in tamari or miso or natto. Big Ag pushed eating 4-8 oz/daily to sell this noxious stuff. And today about 95% of it is GMO which should clearly be a big NO, NO when creating recipes.
Hope you will consider these thoughts as you produce your culinary delights.

Hey there, Tanya! I appreciate the time you took to write a thoughtful comment; however I have to respectfully disagree. You can find thousands of articles on the internet demonizing soy for mimicking estrogen and just as many supporting soy for the anti-cancer properties and antioxidant capacity of of its bioactive compound, isoflavones. You can also find a million articles on hotly debated foods like dairy, meat, sugar, grains, and pretty much every other food there is (perhaps besides kale, but even with that you'll find research on oxalates.) When it comes to soy, my beliefs as a registered dietitian with a masters degree in nutrition are of the latter. I've spent a lot of time researching soy. Contrary to popular belief, research shows that soy actually protects against breast cancer, along with prostate cancer and heart disease. The phytochemicals in soy reduce inflammation and prevent the activation of proteins that promote cell growth commonly seen with these cancers (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2981011/). Research shows that soy may also provide relief from menopausal symptoms. I fully support the notion that eating organic whole food sources of soy a couple times a week is completely safe. I'm not advocating that my readers replace their lunch every day with tofu, and if you look at my recipe archives, they largely contain recipes with other sources of plant-based proteins. I'm simply providing a healthy, dairy-free version of lasagna that tastes just like the original. And yes, fermented soy like tempeh and miso are even better than tofu. I'm not advising my readers to buy frozen veggie burgers and protein bars made with soy protein isolate.
Regarding the noodles, they are of course not paleo as they are grains. Regarding sweeteners, I advise my clients and readers to use less processed sweeteners in smaller amounts (maple syrup, coconut sugar, raw honey, etc.) and also firmly believe in balance--a life without indulging here and there is no life I want to live. Dr. Mercola recently wrote an article titled "Worrying About Your Health Can Make You Sick." He goes on to say that "being neurotic can double your risk of Alzheimer's." Using fear mongering (demonizing all sugar, grains, soy, really anything) to encourage people to eat healthier is NOT my style. Thanks again for reading!

So glad you replied kindly to her lengthy comment with your evidence based, professional and balanced opinion. You promote healthy eating , healthy thinking!
Alexis says
Thank you so much! This means a lot.
Lindsey says
I am also a dietitian and came across this recipe today after making some homemade pasta and thinking...hey! I should make lasagna for dinner! I'll be trying this one out for sure. I also want to agree with the Pam's previous comment. As nutrition professionals, it is so important to share evidence based nutrition information in a respectful way. I agree wholeheartedly with your response and am happy to hear there are other RDs out there who believe in the goodness and power of vegetarian/vegan protein sources and whole food eating! Keep doing what you're doing!

Thanks so much, Lindsey! I can't lie...that comment REALLY aggravated me. It reminded me how twisted people in this society think of food and how real food mongering and orthorexia are. It's scary...but that's what we're here for!
Alexis says
Thanks, Pam 🙂 I tried my hardest to be kind when I really, really wanted to freak out!! I just want the fear mongering with food to stop.
Judy Dugan-Furman says
Can I make this the day before and than cook it?
Alexis says
Hmmm I’ve never tried that. I would make the tofu ricotta and cook veggies ahead of time and then assemble before you bake.
Beth Zaring says
As a retired Dietetic Technician, Registered, I also appreciated the thoughtful and balanced, evidenced based reply Alexis gave.
Thank you Alexis.
Pamela says
Hello Alexis,
AWESOME reply!!! I was seething when I read that comment. Your reply made all the plant based angels sing. I love this recipe and the ease of it ( I'm visiting my son who has limited kitchen appliances, was SO happy to see a 'ricotta ' recipe that doesn't need a blender or food processor. And the veg, all of it it perfection! I'm excited to make this! THANK YOU!! So happy google listed this first!!! I'm now going to look through all your recipes! But first, I have a lasagna to make 🙂

As a nutrition grad student, I absolutely loved reading your respectful yet informative and evidence backed response. Especially in this day and age of our country, it is so important that we use our nutritional knowledge powers for good and for proper and respectful education. This was a 5 star response in that! Thank you for helping to show me a positive way to put that while still remaining firm in the science and not in the drama. I appreciated reading this!
Also, I can't WAIT to make this lasagna this week!!! At my food service rotation today, everyone taste tested a delicious smelling lasagna so I have been craving a vegan version ever since. Nom!

This is probably one of the best lasagnas I've ever made (and I've made a lot-ones have meat in too). You are very clever to put together ingredients like this. It is so hearty, so delicious and you certainly don't miss the meat. I used homemade hummus and wholemeal lasagna sheets. Thanks for this recipe, I'm just revisiting this site to make it for a second time! 🙂

Laura says
This was my first time making one of your recipes- it's always a scary thing the first time you make a new food persons stuff! But this was definitely a success, and now I'll start perusing more of your recipes!
The tofu ricotta was the big seller for me, how easy and flavorful it was. Most of the time I shy away from lasagnas cuz of all the time involved in all the components, and especially other vegan lasagnas I've made where you have to food process the tofu ricotta, which apparently I'm too lazy to want to do lol, so I loved that I just had to crumble this, which gave it a great texture too!
I did not precook my noodles, and instead baked it for about an hour. I think next time I will leave out the peas, and put more effort into the sauce, maybe adding some tofu meat crumbles or something. I just used Prego sauce (not your fault!), which is ok but having a better sauce would turn this from a really good dish to an excellent dish! Thank you so much!
And sorry, I could not find where to leave a star rating!
Alexis Joseph says
Hey Laura! My stars rating function isn't working due to a site issue (grrrr) but thank you SO much for the lovely detailed review! The sauce make a huge impact so I do recommend using a sauce you love! I'm so thrilled it turned out well for you. I actually don't use the peas anymore, either 😉 Let me know if you give any other recipes a try!

Hey again Laura! Stars ratings is fixed now, so if you could leave a star rating, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks again!

Love the idea of including hummus in the tofu ricotta! I have made tofu ricotta many times but never thought of including hummus, and I absolutely love hummus!
I will definitely have to try this! I already know that this lasagna will be a favorite at our home!

I made a version of your lasagna roll ups a couple months ago and loved it! I didn't try nutritional yeast though but now I can't wait to! I love the addition to peas too, they are so high in protein for veggies! Can't wait to give my bf the taste test!

I should probably rate and comment since I've made this lasagne countless times. It is absolutely beautiful and has been a hit amongst vegans, and picky meat eaters alike. It is easy to make, cheap healthy ingredients and possibly tastes even better the next day! Ten out of ten.

Omg girl, this is bomb! It's so delicious! Looks gorgeous too! My husband thinks it's divine. I've made it twice and it's so easy! I don't even bother boiling the noodles or coming the vegetables to save time cuz it'll all go in the oven. I'm a new vegan and this is an excellent super easy recipe. What brand of lasagna noodle did you use for the one in your picture?

I never review recipes. But this one was GLORIOUS! We are starting a journey to eating primarily plant-based foods, so this was my first attempt at vegan lasagna.
My entire family loved it (including my 2 and 3 year old daughters who scarfed it down and asked for seconds). We served it with toasted sourdough bread on the side w/ vegan butter.
I made it pretty much exactly as the instructions stated, but added extra garlic since we are big garlic fans. It was perfect.
This will be on our weekly dinner rotation from now on! Thanks for a stellar recipe!

Can this lasagna be frozen? I'd like to make it. NOT bake it. Freeze. Take out for a holiday party in 6 weeks. What do you think?
