Vegan & gluten free “meaty” lasagna. I grew up with horrible lasagna. I mean HORRIBLE! From my childhood on I’ll admit, I would shy away from this Italian dish with every fiber of my being. My Italian side of my family, that knew how to cook, never made it. We always ate ravioli. So going vegan and gf, this wasn’t a dish that I was going to miss out on.
My oldest asked for lasagna recently. I was a bit taken aback because I wasn’t sure where she ever developed a penchant for it. I’ll be honest, I blew her request off. Then while shopping in a local grocery store that I never really frequent, I spied some gluten free noodles. Perhaps the universe was sending me a signal. I embraced it and gave it a whirl.
If you follow me on Snapchat or Insta stories, you saw my over-the-top review over the recipe. I knew I had to recreate it for you all after over 200 requests. My disclaimer: it may not look “picture perfect” but you will be swooning over this one! I pinky promise.
I do want to apologize for the lack of staging the perfect photos but light was dwindling and I was rushing to get each step documented for you. Plus lasagna is not the most photogenic food out there.
