• 1 medium, diced eggplant
• 2 diced red bell peppers
• 2 cups, chopped mushrooms

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves, minced garlic
• 28 oz, canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 cup nutritional yeast
• 1 cup, full-fat coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced eggplant, zucchini slices, red bell peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 6-7 minutes until tender.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

In a medium saucepan, combine the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, and dried basil. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the coconut milk with the nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper to create a creamy dairy-free cheese sauce.

Step 8

Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.

Step 9

Lay 3-4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, overlapping slightly if needed.

Step 10

Spread a layer of the sautéed vegetables over the noodles, followed by a layer of the coconut milk cheese sauce.

Step 11

Repeat the layers (tomato sauce, noodles, vegetables, cheese sauce) until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of tomato sauce on top.

Step 12

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 13

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the top is bubbling and slightly browned.

Step 14

Allow the lasagna to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
