Lasagna is always a crowd favorite, because of the combination of cheese and hearty pasta. However, if you are vegan, you can still enjoy lasagna with a modern twist! This raw vegan lasagna is the perfect dish to whip up when friends come over, or if you want something a little decadent without being over the top.

Tools

For this lasagna, you really don’t need anything special. However, if you do have a mandoline, now would be the time to use it. Using a mandoline instead of a knife for this lasagna will make sure every slice of zucchini is the same exact shape, but if you don’t have one, just use a really sharp knife.

Instructions

  1. Soak some cashews in hot water for at least an hour or overnight.
  2. Cut or use your mandoline to slice up some zucchinis into long strips. 
  3. Drain and rinse the nuts and put them in a food processor with nutritional yeast, salt, garlic powder, and paprika.
  4. Put a layer of zucchini down on the plate as well as the cashew cheese. Top that with either homemade or store-bought tomato sauce and some chopped basil.
  5. Continue to layer until you have 2 or 3, and then enjoy!
