Roasted Vegetable Pesto Lasagna

This vibrant lasagna layers caramelized roasted summer vegetables with a creamy, homemade cashew ricotta and zesty basil pesto. It offers a fresh, herbaceous twist on the classic heavy baked pasta, making it perfect for a hearty yet wholesome plant-based meal.

Ingredients

9-12 lasagna noodles (no-boil preferred)
2 cups raw cashews, soaked in hot water for 1 hour
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt
24 oz jar marinara sauce
1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 small eggplant, cubed
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup vegan basil pesto
2 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss zucchini, bell pepper, and eggplant with olive oil and a pinch of salt on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes until tender.

  2. 2

    Drain the soaked cashews. In a blender, combine cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and 1/2 cup fresh water. Blend until smooth and creamy to create the 'ricotta'.

  3. 3

    Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  4. 4

    Place a layer of noodles over the sauce. Spread a portion of the cashew ricotta over the noodles, then top with a layer of roasted vegetables and dollops of pesto.

  5. 5

    Add a handful of fresh spinach, then top with marinara sauce. Repeat the layering process (noodles, ricotta, veggies, pesto, spinach, sauce) until ingredients are used, finishing with sauce on top.

  6. 6

    Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the noodles are tender. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
