INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare the Tempeh Filling:

  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and bell pepper, and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Crumble the tempeh into the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until lightly browned.

  3. Stir in the soy sauce, oregano, basil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

  4. Pour in the tomato sauce, stir well, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  5. Assemble the Lasagna: In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom. Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread 1/3 of the tempeh filling over the noodles, followed by dollops of Tofutti ricotta and a sprinkle of shredded vegan mozzarella.

  6. Repeat the layers (noodles, tempeh filling, vegan cheeses) until you’ve used up all the ingredients, finishing with a top layer of noodles and a generous amount of shredded vegan mozzarella.

  7. Bake the Lasagna: Cover the lasagna with foil (to prevent the top from burning) and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted.

  8. Serve: Let the lasagna cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.

  9. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired, and serve hot.
