This robust plant-based lasagna swaps traditional meat for a protein-packed lentil and mushroom ragu that delivers incredible texture and savory flavor. Layered with tender spinach and melted vegan cheese, it is a satisfying main course that appeals to both vegans and meat-eaters alike.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the chopped mushrooms and cook for another 5-7 minutes until they release their liquid and start to brown.
Stir in the rinsed lentils, marinara sauce, vegetable broth, and dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spread a small amount of the lentil sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Layer 3-4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by a generous layer of lentil sauce, a handful of fresh spinach, and a sprinkle of vegan mozzarella.
Repeat the layers (noodles, sauce, spinach, cheese) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let sit for 10 minutes before slicing.
