I love making lasagne. It’s a meal that feeds us for a couple of days, full of vegetables,  is delicious and can be packed into a lunchbox. My chidren will eat it hot or cold. My versions are vegan, nutrient dense, high fibre very low cholesterol and easy to prepare.

So, this is today’s. Next time i might use crumbled tofu in the “bolognese ” layer. All measurements are approximate and to taste 🙂

Ingredients
Dried lasagne pasta sheets

Bechamel top layer
3 cups soy milk
3 tbsp cornflour
4 heaped tbsp dairy free margarine
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Ground black pepper
1/4 cup nutritional yeast (this is a lot, you can halve this)
2 ripe round tomatoes sliced, sliced halved
Sesame seeds for sprinkling

Bolognese layer
2 medium onions diced
1 can Sanitarium nut meat grated
1 kg diced ripe tomatoes (or more)
4 tbsp tomato paste
2 handfuls frozen spinach
1 tsp vege stock powder
1 tbsp dried margoram
1 tbsp soy sauce
Generous squirt tomato sauce/ketchup

Pumpkin layer

4. Prepare bechamel sauce. In medium pot on medium heat add margarine and cornflour. Mix until holding together and combined. Add soy milk gradually whilst stirring to ensure no lumps. Add remaing ingredients.  Adjust seasoning to taste. Gradually bring to fast simmer. Turn down heat to low and cook stirring for 5 to 10 minutes until thickened. It will still be runny like golden syrup consistency. Set aside.
