How to make Mushroom and Spinach Lasagna (vegan)

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 17

7 lasagne sheets (I used spelt lasagna - important to use the 'no need to pre-cook' variety)
2 cups frozen spinach, thawed, or the equivalent in fresh cooked, and set aside
1 cup pre-soaked raw cashew nuts
2 cups (500 mL) water
1 tsp maple syrup
olive oil
2 cups mixed mushrooms, chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 spring onion (scallion), finely chopped
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
2 cups grated vegan cheese of your choice (vegan mozzarella is best if possible)
½ tsp chilli powder
2 to 3 Tbsp fresh flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
salt to taste
1 Tbsp French's mustard
1 cup (250 mL) vegan milk of your choice
extra grated vegan cheese for the base

Steps:

  • Using your food processor, process the cashew nuts, nutritional yeast, maple syrup, and water until totally smooth (use a sieve if you are unsure, and return to the processor again if needs be).
  • Meanwhile, heat up some olive oil, and fry your scallions and garlic for a minute or two, stirring all the time.
  • Then throw in your mushrooms, and allow to cook for a further few minutes until well cooked, and a little wilted from the heat.
  • Next, pour in your cashew cream, add the chilli powder, salt and mustard, mix and allow to simmer for around 10 minutes.
  • Add in your grated cheese, and if needs be, add a very little amount of water every now and then if the sauce over-thickens.
  • Pre-heat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC), and grease an oven-proof dish (mine measured 9½" x 6½" x 2")
  • Then place three sheets of the lasagna across the base of the dish, and pour in half the sauce. Then add half of the spinach, distributing as evenly as possible.
  • Repeat the above process, but also use 90 percent of the cream sauce. You will then be left with one sheet of lasagna - break it up and add it here and there, and then pour the little remaining sauce over it.
  • Add more cheese on top if you wish, and then add half the parsley, followed by a cup of vegan milk poured around the 4 edges of your dish.
  • Finally, drizzle some olive oil on top and place in your pre-heated oven until golden on top (around 30-40 minutes).
  • Remove from oven, and sprinkle on some more freshly chopped parsley before serving. Bon Appétit !
