Recipe:
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes
Total time: 1 Hour 5 minutes
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, finely diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 carrot, finely diced
1 celery stalk, finely diced
500g vegan soya mince
2 cans (800g) chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato purée
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
250g vegan lasagne sheets
200g grated vegan mozzarella
100g grated vegan cheddar
Freshly chopped parsley for garnish
Method:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Begin by warming the olive oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until translucent and aromatic.
Add the diced carrot and celery to the pan, stirring until they start to soften.
Mix in the soya mince, breaking it apart and cooking until it's evenly browned.
Stir the chopped tomatoes and tomato purée into the mixture. Season with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 20 minutes until thickened. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
In a lasagne dish, start by spreading a layer of the soya mince sauce. Top with a layer of lasagne sheets. Repeat these layers until all the soya mince sauce is used, finishing with a layer of lasagne sheets.
Sprinkle the grated vegan mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the top layer of pasta.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to set for easier slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Additional Tips:
Add a layer of spinach or sliced zucchini between the soya mince layers for added nutrients and flavor.
For extra umami flavor, consider blending some sun-dried tomatoes into the sauce.
Allergy information / alternatives:
Opt for gluten-free lasagne sheets for a gluten-free version.
