Ingredients
-
12 oz lasagna noodles
For the white sauce:
2 cups cashews, soaked for at least 2 hours
1 cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
For the pesto:
4 cloves garlic
6 cups fresh basil, loosely packed
1 cup pumpkin seeds
2/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup water
For the ricotta:
32 oz extra firm tofu, drained and set out to dry for 2 hours
1/2 cup pesto
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
For the spinach:
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
10 oz baby spinach
Directions
Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Rinse under cool water and lay them out to dry on towels so they don't stick together.
Make the white sauce:
Drain cashews. In a blender, combine all ingredients and blend until completely smooth, 3 - 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the blender a few times. Set aside.
Make the pesto:
Place garlic cloves in a blender and pulse to mince. Add basil, pumpkin seeds, olive oil, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, pepper and water and blend. Blend about 2 minutes. Pesto will not/should not be completely smooth.
Make the ricotta:
In a medium mixing bowl, crumble tofu with your hands until it resembles ricotta cheese. Mix in pesto, nutritional yeast, olive oil, lemon juice and salt until combined. Set aside.
Make the spinach:
Preheat a large frying pan over medium low heat. Heat the olive oil then add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add spinach and cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.
Assemble and bake:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 9×13 baking pan with olive oil spray.
Spread ricotta mixture evenly over each lasagna noodle, leaving a 1/2 inch at each end.
Spread spinach mixture over the ricotta. Starting at the bottom end, roll noodle up and place, seam side down, in the baking pan. Continue with all remaining noodles. Pour the white sauce over the rolls.
Bake for 15 minutes, then add pesto sauce on top and bake another 15 minutes.
