One of may favourite dishes to make.. or actually, one of my favourite dishes to eat, is lasagna! I find it so handy to make a big oven dish and eat from it a few times. This also makes it a perfect family recipe. It’s even quite fun to do it with kids, building up the different layers.
I always eat my lasagna with a very simple salad; literally just lettuce and little bit of mayo as a dressing. The combination of lasagna and salad is just soooo good! I highly recommend you try it too. It’s quite silly that I never put this classic lasagna recipe on my blog before, because I’ve send similar recipes to several people over the years. Better late than never right! I hope you will enjoy it!

CLASSAGNA

Serves: 3-4 people

1 bag pb grated cheese (I used Sheese)
6 lasagna sheets 
1 big red onion (medium chop)
4 cloves of garlic (minced)
250 gr mushrooms (medium chop)
1/2 head of broccoli (medium chop)
300 gr frozen spinach (defrosted)
1 courgette (sliced in length)
2 cans chopped tomatoes 
Small hand of fresh basil (chopped)
2-4 tbs nutritional yeast
1 cube of veggie stock 
1 tsp onion granules
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt/Pepper (to taste)
Oil for frying (or water!)

I used an 20×30 cm oven dish. 

-Preheat the oven at 200C. 
-Fry the onion, 1/3 of the garlic, the broccoli and a big pinch of salt for about 5 min on a high.
-Add the mushrooms and fry all together for 3 min. 
-Pour both cans of chopped tomatoes with the veggies and as soon as it start bubbling, turn the heat to medium and add the stock.
-Mix until the stock is dissolved and then add the rest of the garlic, salt and pepper to taste, the nutritional yeast and the basil. Mix again.
-Divide a little layer of the sauce in the bottom of your oven dish and put the lasagna sheets on top. Do another layer of sauce + sheets + sauce. 
-Divide the courgette slices on top of the layer of sauce and add the last little bit of sauce over the courgette.
-Squeeze as much water from the spinach as you can and divide it over the courgette/sauce, before you divide all the cheese on top. 
-Put it in the middle of the oven for 40-45 min.

Tips: To make it an all vegetable lasagna, you could replace the lasagna sheets by courgette sheets. Be creative and add another layer of cheese somewhere in the middle or a layer of sliced tomatoes. Instead of plant-based grated cheese, you could also use a home made cashew sauce for on the top, like I’ve did with the Tagliaca pasta dish.
