I always make a vegan veggie lasagna to bring to family gatherings. I do this so I can make sure I have something awesome to eat and to share an amazing plant based recipe with others to show them how delicious healthy vegan food can be. #sharingiscaring
This veggie lasagna recipe includes 3 different vegan cheeses! Yes, THREE!
- Tofu Ricotta
- Creamy Vegan Cheese Sauce
- Almond Parmesan
Of course, these tasty vegan cheeses are accompanied by tons of veggies. I always use zucchini, mushrooms, tomatoes, and spinach. Feel free to experiment and add any veggies you prefer.

Making a lasagna gluten free is very simple. All you need to do is use gluten free lasagna noodles instead! I love when it is that easy to be gluten free! If you are looking for a lower carb version, you can slice a few zucchini lengthwise and use it instead of noodles. Woot!
If you aren’t in need of a super healthy lasagna, add in some vegan sausages – it is an amazing idea.
Adding in the Vegan Almond Parmesan makes it look pretty, adds a nice cheesy flavor, and gives it a bit of texture. To make it, all you need is 4 ingredients and a blender. It is also great to add to a bunch of other recipes.
You can use leftover Almond Parmesan on other pasta dishes, on top of salads, and sprinkled on avocado toast.
I hope you enjoy this recipe! Let me know if you give it a try and tag your photo with @rootyfruityvegan on Facebook and Instagram!

Directions
Make the Creamy Cheese Sauce
1
Steam the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrot until soft, about 10 minutes.
Transfer the steamed veggies to a high speed blender or food processor. Then, add the remaining ingredients to the blender and blend until super smooth and creamy.
Set aside.
Make the Tofu Ricotta
2
While the potatoes and carrot for the Creamy Cheese Sauce are steaming, prepare the Tofu Ricotta by combining all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until well combined and still a bit chunky.
Set aside.
Make the Almond Parmesan
3
Add all the parmesan ingredients to a blender and pulse until the texture is a coarse flour.
Set aside.
Prepare the Lasagna
4
Boil the noodles in a large pot according to package directions. Lay the noodles flat on a non-stick surface. I use my silicone baking sheets. Make sure they are not touching, or they will stick together.
Spread a layer of marinara on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking pan. Begin to layer the lasagna with noodles, Tofu Ricotta, sliced veggies & spinach, then pour on some Creamy Cheese Sauce. Continue to layer until your pan is full. Cover the top with a final layer of Creamy Cheese Sauce and Almond Parmesan.
Reserve at least half the Almond Parmesan for serving. Enjoy!
