Vegan Tempeh and Veggie Lasagna
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces (about 2 1/4 cups) frozen spinach (no need to thaw it)
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 cups (16 ounces) Kite Hill Whipped Ricotta plant-based cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 1 (8.0-ounce) package tempeh
- 12 sheets no-boil whole wheat lasagna noodles (about 7 ounces from a 9-ounce box)
- 4 cups Engine 2 Plant-Strong Red Bell Pepper Marinara Pasta Sauce
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Combine onion and mushrooms in a large, heavy skillet and set over medium heat.
Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender and browned, about 15 minutes; add water 1 tablespoon at a time if needed to prevent vegetables from sticking.
Stir in spinach, garlic and salt.
Cook until spinach is thawed and liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, parsley, thyme, pepper and nutmeg.
Grate tempeh on the large holes of a box grater into a separate bowl; set 1/2 cup aside and stir the remainder into ricotta mixture.
Place 4 noodles on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Spread with 1 1/4 cups of the marinara.
Spoon half of the spinach mixture on top of marinara layer and dot with half of the ricotta mixture.
Repeat layering with 4 more noodles, 1 1/4 cups of the marinara and remaining spinach and ricotta mixtures.
Top with remaining 4 noodles and remaining 1 1/2 cups marinara.
Sprinkle with nutritional yeast and reserved 1/2 cup tempeh.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Uncover and bake until browned, 15 to 20 minutes more. Let sit for 20 minutes before serving.
