Vegan Ricotta

  1. Heat a small pot on your stovetop.

  4. Drain water from TVP (textured vegetable protein), and add to saucepan.

  5. Add browning sauce, mix well, then add tomato sauce.

  6. Add oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir and continue cooking for 3 minutes.

Lasagna

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C).

  2. Boil lasagna pasta in a large pot for about 10 minutes.

  3. Cover the bottom of your lasagna pan with a layer of bolognese sauce. Then, add a layer of pasta. Add a generous amount of ricotta, and more bolognese sauce. Finally, top with some of your vegan mozzarella. Repeat this process until the lasagna pan is full. On the top layer, add extra cheese.

  4. Bake for 30 minutes, or until cheese is completely melted.
