Maggie’s Tasty Lasagne

This is my third time of making this tasty lasagne dish. The recipe is sufficient for six portions so I shall have an easy supper for the next few weeks.

There is no need to stray from the recipe, although I did slightly. I used some home made tomato sauce from the freezer, probably trebled the amount of nutritional yeast and probably only about a third of the lemon juice, because that is what was ready prepared in the fridge.

I also added a layer of dry-fried chestnut mushrooms, because I had them available and thought they make a tasty addition. But be assured, there is plenty of taste to this recipe just as it is written. Oh, and I used spinach lasagne sheets rather than the zucchini noodles. I have used the zucchini previously and it was very good.

I precooked the lasagne sheets for a few minutes because the sauce is quite thick and I don’t think there would have been sufficient moisture for the pasta sheets to soften properly.

I layered as I would a normal lasagne…tomato sauce, **pasta sheets, spinach sauce, tomato sauce,repeat from ** then finish with a final layer of pasta covered with tomato sauce and a sprinkle of faux parmesan and panko crumbs.

I am always getting tempted and side-tracked by recipes that pop up in my media feed, but I am going to ignore all other lasagne recipes now. This works so well and is quick and easy.

Joe’s Comments

Both recipes look great. Thanks! You know what I am like with anything fried in oil or where oil has been added – so you can guess my opinion on panko crumbs, although I have never used them and they do sound really tasty. Would Maggie’s recipe work just as well with non-oil home-made breadcrumbs? Let me know if you try it…
