How to Prepare Lasagna With Cashew Bechamel [Vegan]

  1. Prepare and cut all the vegetables as instructed.
  2. Heat a big pot with a bit of the vegetable broth and sauté the chopped onions, together with the garlic until golden brown.
  3. Slowly add the rest of the cut vegetables with the rest of the broth and the canned tomatoes. Add the tomato purée and spices and mix everything together (spices according to your taste). Let simmer until the vegetables are cooked.

  7. Cook in the oven for about 30 minutes, then serve.

  1. Wow!!!! Just made this, it was amazing!!! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe.

    With the bechamel sauce I added a bit more water/unsweetened almond milk than the recipe said, and some extra nutritional yeast, it turned out super creamy and cheesy.

    5 star recipe!!
