Vegetarian lasagna
Lasagna is a classic Italian dish, that families cook and enjoy on Sundays. This is our vegetarian version where we used texturized soy. You won't notice the difference.
Equipment
- Saucepan
- Lasagna pan
Ingredients
- extra-virgin olive oil
- butter
- 1 carrot
- 1 onion
- 1 rib of celery
- 4 deciliters texturized soy to replace minced meat
- 250 milliliters white wine
- 4 deciliters vegetable broth
- salt
- pepper
- 500 grams tomato passata
- 250 grams vegan parmesan cheese grated
- 800 milliliters bechamel white sauce
- 20 lasagna sheets
Instructions
- If making your own bechamel sauce, follow this recipe. Otherwise, skip this step.
- Finely chop the carrot, onion, and celery, or use a food processor. Add them into a large saucepan with some olive oil and a spoonful of butter.
- Sauté the vegetables over medium-low heat. Then add the texturized soy and increase the heat. Add the white wine and let it evaporate completely.
- Add broth in 3-4 batches, adding more only when all the broth is gone from the pan.
- Add the tomato passata and ladleful of warm water. Lower the heat. Cook over low heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally and adding water if the sauce dries out too much.
- After 2 hours, taste and add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat. Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Prepare a medium-sized baking dish by buttering it. Then add a layer of bechamel sauce and top it with a layer of ragù. Add lasagna sheets to completely cover the lasagna pan.
- Create layers by first adding bechamel sauce, topping it with ragù, and adding grated vegan parmesan on top. Then cover with an additional layer of lasagna sheets and repeat.
- Repeat until you have created five layers of lasagna sheets. Top the last layer of sheets with another layer of bechamel and ragù. Add some butter on top and top with a generous amount of vegan parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 40 minutes. Let it cool for some minutes before serving.
