  • 9 lasagna noodles (approx.), regular or no-boil
  • 2 cups cashew ricotta cheese
  • salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Noodles: Cook noodles according to package directions, set aside. If using no-boil lasagna noodles like I did there is no need to cook first.
  3. Saute Veggies: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat, add onion and garlic, saute for about 5 minutes. Add carrots, zucchini, squash, mushrooms, herbs/seasonings and a good pinch of salt and pepper, continue to saute for another 5 – 7 minutes. We don’t need to saute the zucchini, yellow squash and mushrooms too much, we want their juices to fully release while baking. Remove from heat.
  4. Spinach Ricotta: Mix together the cashew ricotta and spinach, mix well.
  5. Assemble & Layer: Using a large rectangular baking dish (9 x 12) place about 1/3 cup of sauce on the bottom of the dish spreading to coat, add a layer of pasta, top with 1/2 ricotta cheese and 1/2 vegetables. Add another layer of pasta, 1/2 of the remaining sauce, then the rest of the ricotta, then vegetables. Add one more layer of pasta and top with the remaining sauce. Cover with a lid, small Silpat or foil.
  6. Bake: Cover and bake on the center rack for 40 minutes. Let rest covered for 5 minutes, remove the cover and let cool 10 minutes. If not using no-boil noodles, you can remove the cover halfway through for a baked look.
  7. To Serve: Add a sprinkle of Almond Parmesan and a bit of freshly chopped basil over top.
  8. Store: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 – 6 days, in a covered container.
