Description

Layers of tender butternut squash, earthy mushrooms, and creamy cashew cheese make this vegetarian lasagna irresistible. Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or special occasion.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 2 lbs (800 g) mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup (118 ml) vegetable stock
  • 1 lbs (400 g) spinach
  • 10-12 butternut squash sheets

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine drained cashews, almond milk, garlic, salt, and nutritional yeast in a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and set aside.
  3. In a pan over medium heat, add oil, onions, and garlic. Sprinkle with salt and cook for 5 minutes until onions soften. Add mushrooms and vegetable stock; cook for 10 minutes until liquid evaporates and mushrooms are tender. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted.
  4. In a 9×5 inch baking dish, layer mushroom mixture, butternut squash sheets, and cashew cream three times, finishing with cashew cream on top.
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes at 350°F (175°C) until golden brown and butternut squash is tender. Loosely cover with foil if browning too quickly. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For optimal flavor, roast the butternut squash sheets at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes before layering to enhance sweetness.
  • If you don’t have nutritional yeast, you can substitute 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese for a sharper, more savory cashew cream.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated gently in the microwave or oven.
