The weather is crazy here today and I hope everyone is staying safe wherever you are!
I made the most delicious Lasagna a few days ago (maybe some of you saw it in my stories) and while
I didn’t get to take a nice photo of it (Lasagna can be a stubborn food model), I thought I’ll share my favorite Lasagna sauce/One Pot Lasagna recipe again!
It’s the perfect cozy meal for days like this!
Ingredients :
- 1 cup plant meat alternative (Italian sausage style works best), ground tempeh or extra firm tofu, soaked TVP or lentils (rinsed)
- 1 large onion
- 6-8 garlic cloves
- 2-3 celery stalks
- 1 large carrot
- 1 large can of chopped tomatoes
- 1 heaping tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp dried oregano and basil
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp crushed fennel seeds (optional)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups veggie broth or water (more for One Pot method)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Plus:
- Lasagna sheets
- Fresh basil
- Cashew parmesan/vegan mozzarella
Method:
1- Finely dice onion, celery, carrot and mince garlic.
2- Heat up olive oil and sauté onion until browned, add garlic, celery and carrot and sauté until veggies are caramelized and very fragrant.
3-Take your time for this step because it will add so much flavor to your dish.
4-Add meat alternative of choice and cook until excess liquid is gone and it is starting to brown. Add tomato paste and balsamic vinegar and stir for another minute.
5- Transfer everything to a large pot, add tomatoes, herbs and veggie broth and let simmer for about 20 minutes. If you’re using lentils add them now and cook until soft.
6-Season with salt and pepper to taste and enjoy
