Ingredients
Noodles:
4 medium zucchini
Tomato Sauce:
1 – 28oz can no salt crushed or chopped tomatoes
1 – 6oz can no salt tomato paste
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp thyme
Mushroom Mix:
3 – 8oz packages mushrooms
2 onions diced
1 red pepper diced
1 Tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp Braggs liquid amino acids
2 tsp onion powder
Kale:
1 bunch (300g) chopped kale
Cheese:
2 cups raw cashews
3 cloves garlic
1 cup water
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
4 Tbsp lemon juice
4 Tbsp white wine vinegar
2 Tbsp dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Mandolin slice your zucchini lengthwise to make your lasagna “noodles”. Place slices on a cookie sheet lined with baking paper and put in the oven for about 15 minutes. It may take a few cookie sheets to fit all of the noodles. This takes some of the moisture out of the zucchini so that the lasagna isn’t watery.
- Next, cook the mushroom mixture making sure to cook out most of the water. In another pan add a few tablespoons of water and add the kale mixture. Cook down until kale is wilted. Let kale cool and then squeeze out excess water.
- Add sauce ingredients to blender and lightly blend. Put cheese ingredients into blender and blend until smooth.
- Begin layering zucchini, sauce, kale and mushroom mixture into a large baking dish. Once you have used all the ingredients, finish by pouring the cheese mixture on top. Bake at 350° for 35-45 minutes. Cook until cheese looks slightly brown. Take out of the oven and let cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

I love your new website, it’s a really nice upgrade.
Thank you!
If you have cheese left over will it last very long?
It will last a few days in the fridge or you can freeze it
This is a great recipe. My husband loved it and said “It is the best lasagna recipe yet.” I loved the “cheese” sauce, it was amazing.
