Lasagna! This is my family and my favorite comfort food. My family and I always have a blast making this in the kitchen! The hot cheese melts perfectly over the meat and noodles and ties it all together. This recipe can be made dairy-free or dairy-full depending on your preference, either way is simply fabulous.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lb. ground beef
• 1 lb. hot breakfast sausage
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cans (14.5 ounce) whole tomatoes
• 2 cans (6 ounce) tomato paste
• 2 tbsp. dried parsley
• 2 tbsp. dried basil
• 2 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 c. grated (not shredded) vegan Parmesan cheese (I recommend using the daiya brand!)
• 2 tbsp. dried parsley
• 2 packages vegan mozzarella cheese (I recommend using the daiya brand!)
• 1 package no boil gluten free lasagna noodles
• 1 recipe Vegan ricotta as below
  • 1-454 g block firm tofu
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp white miso
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1½ tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp salt

To make with dairy, simply replace vegan mozzarella cheese, and vegan parmesan cheese, with regular, dairy-containing versions of these cheeses in the same ratio. For the vegan ricotta, replace with 3 cups of regular, dairy-containing ricotta.

Recipe:

1. Preheat oven to 350° F
2. In a large skillet, combine ground beef, sausage, and garlic, and cook over medium-high heat until browned. Drain half the fat and leave the other half in the pan. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, parsley, basil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir and simmer the sauce mixture for 45 minutes.
3. To make ricotta, place tofu, olive oil, white miso, garlic powder, salt, and lemon juice into a food processor and blend until smooth. If your ricotta is too thick, add 1 – 2 tablespoons of non-dairy milk or olive oil as needed Taste and season with salt as desired.
4. To assemble: spray pan with non stick spray. Arrange 4 cooked lasagna noodles in the bottom of a baking pan, overlapping if necessary. Spoon ricotta mixture over the noodles. Spread evenly. Cover this with a layer of vegan mozzarella cheese. Spoon a layer of the meat sauce over the top. Repeat layers ending with meat/sauce mixture. Sprinkle top generously with Parmesan.
5. Either freeze, refrigerate for up to two days, or bake immediately for 45 minutes or as stated on the non-boil noodle package.
