I haven’t been able to have lasagna is so long! Ricotta cheese piled high with more cheese. It was a disaster for my stomach.
Fast forward about a year and I still had not figured out how to have lasagna safely. But, walking through the store one day, looking in the cold section, I see this shining light of awesomeness at the top. Vegan Ricotta cheese! So for Valentines, I finally made a wonderfully large pan of Vegan “Meat”less Lasagna.
Here is the super simple recipe:
1 box of rice no boil lasagna
1 bag of Beyond Meat (or similar)
1 16oz container of Tofutti Ricotta (or make your own vegan ricotta)
2 18 jars of Vegan Vodka sauce (or make your own vegan vodka sauce)
1 bag of any flavor vegan cheese
Directions:
- Mix together the ricotta & “meat”.
- Place a few slices of the uncooked lasagna across the bottom of a greased 9×13 pan.
- Place a layer of the ricotta mix across.
- Sprinkle cheese across.
- Pour some sauce on that.
- Place another layer of uncooked lasagna.
- Repeat above.
- Make sure you pour enough sauce on the very last layer (top).
- Cover with foil and bake on 375 for 1 hour.
- Once its done, feel free to sprinkle Vegan Parmesan.
What makes this so easy is that you simply combine everything in a pan & done! Layer it how ever you like. You can even add in eggplant slices (I put some across the top).

Lasagna is normally a higher price meal anyways so this would be no different, except if you make the ricotta or sauce from scratch. Buying the items off the shelf should be around $25. But I will say it fed a full house of guests, 6 adults and 2 kids to be exact. So $25 doesn’t sound quiet so bad split that many ways.
