Vegan Veggie Lasagna. Easy Lasagna for 2 with herbed mushrooms, greens, tofu thyme ricotta, chao cheese slices . Vegan Lasagna Recipe. Makes 1 9 inch by 5 inch loaf pan
Jump to Recipe
I thought it was summer already, well I was wrong. We had a few chilly days in between and I just wanted to curl up near the fireplace and wait for some casserole to cook up, like this warm saucy cheesy Lasagna.
The thing with Lasagnas is that they take some time with all the arrangement, but they come out great. They keep well, the recipes are flexible and are much easier if you have jarred or pre-made sauces. The thing that doesn’t work for me is the large serving size! Between the 2 of us, or just me during the week, it is difficult to finish it up. And if I have a large container of any food sitting in the fridge, it becomes a mental block against making something new, developing recipes or cooking otherwise. So I made this into a half batch! Don’t you like the smaller loaf of lasagna. Cute and perfect 🙂
I used a jar of pasta sauce that was there, some field roast coconut herb Chao cheese slices that melt so beautifully, greens, herb marinated mushrooms, herbs, tofu thyme ricotta and more herbs and layers and done! To make this soy-free use chickpea tofu or kite hill almond ricotta.
This is the basic Lasagna I generally use to build up over. Use whatever veggies, greens, sauces and vegan cheeses. Use more or less pasta sauce to preference. Use my cauliflower alfredo instead of vegan cheese layer.

This looks delicious and the perfect size since the rest of my family eats meat. I can’t wait ti give it a try, although I may add some radicchio to sneak in a superfood rather than the spinach or kale, but otherwise I would leave the recipe exactly as-is. Thank you for sharing!
Could I get the recipe for chickpea tofu please. I couldn’t find it on your website.
Thank you very much.

it is in my book https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1941252095/vegric-20 . you cna also find it on google , search for burmese tofu recipe or soy-free tofu.
I always tend to overcomplicate lasagna and stuff it with chickpeas, broccoli, carrots, and all sorts of other vegetables. I love how easy yours is Richa – mushrooms and tofu ricotta, mmm! <3 just need to find some good vegan cheese here!
You have read my mind! I was contemplating yesterday to make a vegan lasagna and there you go :). I had an attempt to make a vegan masala yesterday, but that didn’t work out so great. So I guess I can’t do without your recipes. Still have to order your book…
What a great idea! I love lasagna but I also begin to feel inundated with how long I have leftovers in the fridge when I make it. This version for 2 is perfect!
No thank you, I’d eat ALL of the servings!
lol 🙂 it looks deceivingly small. we still got 4 serves out of it. 🙂
I LOVE lasagna and yours looks perfect! And I like your tofu thyme ricotta recipe. Never thought of adding thyme to my tofu ricotta before, this will be a nice variation. Thanks for another beautiful dish, cannot wait to try it!!
awesome! thanks! I love the thyme in it as it adds a deeper flavor and hides the tofu 🙂
Where do you get that cheese?
its field roast chao slices. they can be found at whole foods, other health stores, vegan stores or online vegan stores. https://fieldroast.com/product/chao-slices/
this is such a great idea, richa! it looks delicious.
This lasagna looks delicious! I’ll have to try it out. I just ordered your new cookbook and it arrived today. The cookbook looks amazing! I love all the pictures and I can’t wait to start trying the recipes! Thanks for all your hard work in putting it together, I’m way too excited to start trying these recipes! (PS. I’ve tried several of your recipes from your blog and have loved every one of them!)
Awesome! Thank you for buying my book Angela! It definitely has been a lot of work this past year 🙂
Is the lasagne noodles dairy free? Do you know where you can buy dairy free lasagne noodles? I usually use zucchinni for my noodles because I havent found dairy free lasagne noodles.
Whole foods 365 brand and Dellalo wheat lasagna noodles dont have eggs.
