Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 lasagna noodles (regular or no-boil)
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup plant-based creamy cheese
  • 1 cup ricotta-style plant-based cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/4 cup vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 cups tomato sauce (natural)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped (optional)

Optional Variations

  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
  • 1/2 cup roasted zucchini, chopped
  • 1/4 cup vegan pesto
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup creamy cashew sauce (natural) instead of tomato sauce (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking while they cool.
  2. Sauté the Spinach: In a large pan, heat a bit of olive oil and lightly sauté fresh spinach just until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside to cool.
  3. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the plant-based creamy cheese, ricotta-style plant-based cheese, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley and basil, sautéed spinach, and a splash of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly blended. Optionally, fold in chopped smoked turkey bacon or other desired variations.
  4. Assemble the Roll Ups: Spread a generous layer of the filling mixture evenly across each noodle. Roll the noodles carefully but firmly to create individual cylinders, placing each seam side down in a baking dish prepped with a layer of tomato sauce (natural) or creamy cashew sauce (natural).
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour additional tomato sauce (natural) or creamy cashew sauce over the roll ups, sprinkle with shredded plant-based cheese, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 to 30 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.

Notes

  • Avoid soggy noodles by ensuring they are well-drained and slightly dry before rolling.
  • Spread filling evenly for balanced and flavorful bites.
  • Use fresh parsley and basil to enhance the aroma and taste.
  • Let rolled noodles rest briefly before baking to keep their shape and prevent unraveling.
  • Layering sauce underneath and on top of the roll ups keeps the dish moist and flavorful.
