Vegan Lasagna Roll Ups

Step 1

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add lasagna and simmer until 1-2 minutes before fully cooked. Drain, rinse (this is important because it makes the noodles easier to handle plus it will stop the cooking process so they won't break), and set aside.

Step 2

Meanwhile, add all of the tofu ricotta ingredients to a food processor and incorporate. You may have to scrape the sides down a few times or add a tablespoon or two of water to get things moving. Once the tofu ricotta is smooth and creamy. Add salt to taste and set aside.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or with silicone mats and lay the lasagna noodles out across the sheets. You'll have anywhere between 12-16 noodles. Discard any broken ones.

Step 4

Add a few tablespoons of tofu ricotta to each noodle and use an offset spatula to evenly distribute. Next, add a few tablespoons of sauce and a small sprinkle of cheese.

Step 5

Coat the bottom of each casserole dish with marinara. Then, working one noodle at a time, carefully roll the lasagna until you produce a spiral and lay the roll seam-side down on the casserole dish. Repeat until you run out of noodles.

Step 6

Top each lasagna roll up with more marinara and a small sprinkle of vegan mozz. Top with optional red pepper flakes and sea salt. Bake for 20-25 minutes and optionally broil for a few minutes to brown the cheese.

Step 7

Let the lasagna roll ups cool for 5 minutes before adding fresh basil leaves.
