Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 jar high quality marinara sauce
  • 1 cup vegan mozzarella
  • fresh basil for garnish

Lentil Spinach Filling

  • 2 cups cooked or canned green or brown lentils
  • ¾ cup finely diced onion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 12 oz baby spinach two 6 oz bags
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F.
  • Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse, then set aside.

Lentil Spinach Filling

  • In a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook diced onions for 3-5 minutes until soft.
  • Add minced garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, and baby spinach. Cook for 8 minutes until spinach is wilted.
  • Stir in cooked lentils, nutritional yeast, and sea salt to taste. Cook for another 5 minutes, then set aside.

Assembly and Baking

  • In a 9x13-inch or 10x14-inch baking dish, spread 1 cup of marinara sauce and 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly on the bottom.
  • Lay each cooked lasagna noodle flat. Add about 1/4 cup of lentil spinach filling to each noodle and spread evenly across. Roll up each noodle and place seam-side down in the baking dish, spaced apart.
  • Top the lasagna rolls with remaining marinara sauce and sprinkle with vegan mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake uncovered at 450°F for 25-30 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use high-quality marinara sauce for best flavor.
  • Let the lasagna rolls cool for 10 minutes to set before serving.
