I call it 3 day lasagna because i recommend making it over 3 days since each step is time consuming. Day 1 is for making the cheeses. Day 2 is for making the sauce, Day 3 is for assembling and baking. I call it 3 day lasagna because i recommend making it over 3 days since each step is time consuming.

Tips

There will be leftover sauce. This is so that you can add a generous scoop of sauce with each serving when plating the lasagna. This is a delicious special occasion dish. Not low calorie or quick but so worth it, especially great for impressing non vegans. No one will believe it is dairy free!


Directions

Day 1: Cheese Day

First, put 2 cups raw cashews in large bowl and fill with cold water. Let cashews soak for 4 hours.

Secondly, put 3 cups macadamia nuts in a separate large bowl and fill with cold water, and let them soak for 4 hours as well.

4 hours later:
Drain cashews
Place in food processor with 1 cup water, 4 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon rice vinegar.
Process 1 minute. Scrape down sides, then process 2-4 minutes until smooth and creamy. Place in separate container and refrigerate until day three.

Then, drain macadamia nuts and place in clean food processor. Add 1 cup water, 4 tablespoons lemon juice, 4 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Process 1 minute, scrape down sides, and process 2-4 more minutes.
Place in large bowl with 4 tablespoons dried parsley, 1/4 cup dried basil, and 2 cups chopped olives. Combine all then cover and refrigerate until day 3.

Day 2: Sauce Day

Add 6 minced cloves of garlic, 3 tablespoons italian seasoning, 2 teaspoons of salt and 4 - 28 oz cans of crushed tomatoes. Reduce heat to low and simmer 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Place in container and refrigerate until day 3.
