I had bought rice lasagna noodles awhile ago with the intention of making lasanga. I never did get around to it. So I though Family Day was the perfect day to give it a try. I decided to go with a Spinach lasagna found in the Forks Over Knives app but can also be found here. This lasagna was 100% home made. I started by making my own pasta sauce with a little help from a website found here a couple hours in advance. I of course added way more veggies than it called for. I even snuck in a while bunch of veggies in my sauce. The recipe had a home made ricotta, I just needed vegan parmesan. I went to work and found an almond recipe at One Green Planet. This lasagna was so delicious. Everyone enjoyed it, including the kids. It was a full serving of veggies if not more and super filling. I will definately be making this again!

A lot of work, but it looks well worth it!
Its sure was.
This looks great! Do you use the forks over knives app a lot? We have the free recipes, but we weren't sure if it was worth subscribing to.
Yes we only cook from home. Hardly ever eat processed. So we use the app and the cookbook daily. One other cookbook I have and love is called Plant-Powered Families. Very worth it. New recipes all the time too.
that is super interesting you used tofu in this recipe. I have never had it before. I do make a mean white lasagna tho I do use chicken in it however.. tip!
Yes the tofu makes the ricotta dairy free. It was very good too.
I am coming for lunch tomorrow, I hope you have some left, lol. Nevertheless, I am bookmarking this recipe for later. Absolutely amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing it with us Dear @skye1 🍒 🍌🍑🌿🍍🍓🍇
