These vegan lasagna roll-ups are so tasty you’ll never know they're meat and dairy free! Even my lasagna loving husband had a hard time telling the difference.
Prepare the pasta:
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add in your lasagna noodles. Cook the noodles until they are al-dente. They will continue to soften as they bake in the oven.Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water. Drain the remaining water in a colander and drizzle the pasta with olive oil to prevent them from sticking together. Set aside.
Prepare the sauce:
Grab a saucepan and over medium / low heat add the olive oil and butter.
Add the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic into the pan with the olive oil and butter. Season everything with salt and pepper. Stir well.
Let the vegetables sweat until they are tender and translucent.
Next, you will add the crushed tomatoes (juice too), red pepper flakes, Italian parsley, basil leaves, pasta water and let everything simmer over medium / low heat.
Prepare the vegan ricotta cheese:
Boil a pot of water and cook the cauliflower until it is soft. Add the tofu, softened cauliflower, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and spices to a food processor. Blend well until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Once blended, gently fold in the shredded vegan mozzarella cheese with a spatula.
Assemble the dish:
Ladle two spoonful’s of red sauce into the prepared baking dish.
Smear the vegan ricotta cheese mixture on one side of the pasta and roll them up.
Place the rolled-up pasta on-top of the sauce.
Once all of the pasta is rolled and placed in the baking dish, top with extra sauce, cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the vegan cheese is warmed all the way through.
Top with freshly chopped parsley and vegan parmesan cheese and serve warm.
