Mushrooms are marinated in a garlic, balsamic, soy marinade then baked, Meanwhile blend the garlic sauce and keep ready. Assemble the rest of the ingredients. Then start layering! Garlic white sauce, noodles, mushrooms, sauce, noodles, a layer of spinach and tofu ricotta, noodles and repeat. Top with vegan parmesan or vegan cheese and bake. Once baked, drizzle olive oil on top and add fresh herbs, slice and serve.

How to make this Creamy Mushroom lasagna without Nuts

• Use my nutfree Cauliflower Alfredo or Pumpkin Alfredo instead of this nutty garlic white sauce. You might need a double serving. 
• You can also use a my bechamel style flour sauce 
• Definitely add some tofu ricotta or other vegan cheese between the layers as the nutfree sauces reduce in volume while baking. 
• Add a layer of marinara and roasted veggies for a hearty Spinach mushroom lasagna.
• No Boil noodles tend to absorb a lot of moisture during cooking and can sometimes dry the lasagna out sooner. Soak them in hot water for 2-3 mins, then use for less drying out.

Instructions 

• Mix the mushroom marinade ingredients minus the water in a bowl. Place the whole mushrooms* in the lasagna baking dish. Drizzle the marinade all over the mushrooms. Use 1/4 cup of water or broth to rinse out the marinade bowl and our on the sides of the mushrooms.
• Bake the mushrooms covered at 400 deg F (205 C) for 20 mins. Remove the mushrooms from the dish. Slice into 1/4 inch or less width, and set aside. Leave the juices in the dish.
• Blend the garlic sauce ingredients until smooth. Taste and adjust salt and flavor.
• Assemble: Add a ladleful of garlic sauce in the dish. Add a layer of noodles.
• Then drizzle garlic sauce on the noodles, arrange sliced mushrooms on top, drizzle some sauce over the mushrooms, then add a layer of noodles.
• Spread the sauce on the noodles, then add wilted (if fresh) or thawed spinach (if frozen). Sprinkle some red pepper flakes and a good pinch of salt over the spinach. Add some tofu ricotta** or drizzle some garlic sauce over the spinach.
• Then another layer of noodles and sauce, mushrooms, noodles, and remaining sauce. Sprinkle some vegan parm all over or vegan mozzarella cheese shreds. (I use a mix of 3 tbsp breadcrumbs+ 3 tbsp vegan parm). Rinse out the garlic sauce blender/bowl with 1/2 cup water and pour on the sides of the lasagna dish. (Use 1 tbsp water if using precooked lasagna noodles.)
• Cover tightly with foil and bake at 375 deg F (170C ) for 1 hour. Let it sit for 10 mins, then uncover. Sprinkle more vegan parmesan, extra virgin olive oil, herbs and pepper flakes. Then slice and serve. 

  Store refrigerated for upto 4 days.

Notes

Variation: Add a layer of marinara and some sauteed veggies in the middle. 

 

*If the mushrooms are too thick, then slice and add to the baking dish

 

** Quick Tofu Ricotta: Crumble 7 oz firm tofu in a bowl. Add 1/2 tsp garlic powder,1/2 tsp dried basil, 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp salt &pepper. Mix and let chill for 15 mins, then adjust seasoning and use.  

 

Nutfree: Use my nutfree Cauliflower Alfredo or Pumpkin Alfredo or my bechamel style flour sauce instead of the garlic white sauce. You will need a double serving of the sauces. 

 

*** No Boil noodles tend to absorb a lot of moisture during cooking and can sometimes dry the lasagna out sooner. Soak them in hot water for 3 mins, then use for less drying out. 

If using regular lasagna noodles, cook them to al dente and then use.
