  • Gluten-Free Lasagna with Hazelnut Ricotta, Cashew Cheese Sauce and Marinara Sauce {Recipe from The Vee Word}

    For the Cashew Cheese Sauce:

    Ingredients
    1 ½ cups raw cashews
    ¾ cups water
    Juice of ½ fresh lemon
    1 ½ tsp. kosher salt
    ½ tsp. vinegar

    Directions
    In a food processor, grind the cashews. Add the other ingredients and process until smooth and creamy.

    For the Hazelnut Ricotta:

    Ingredients
    1 ½ cup hazelnuts, soaked for at least 4 hours
    ½ cup water
    Juice of ½ fresh lemon
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
    ½ tsp. kosher salt
    2 Tbs. nutritional yeast
    2 Tbs. fresh parsley, minced
    2 Tbs. fresh basil, minced

    Directions
    In a food processor, puree the nuts, water, lemon juice, oil, garlic and salt until the nuts are all ground up. You may need to scrape the sides of the bowl and puree again until smooth. Add the parsley and basil to the ricotta.

    For the Marinara Sauce:

    Ingredients
    1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
    ½ medium red onion, diced
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes
    2- 28oz. cans crushed tomatoes
    ½ tsp. dried oregano
    ½ tsp. dried basil
    ½ tsp. dried parsley
    Salt & pepper to taste

    Directions
    Heat olive oil in a medium size saucepan. Sautee onion, garlic and red pepper flakes for a few minutes until softened. Add crushed tomatoes and stir. Mix in spices and herbs. Cover and let cook on low heat for about 15 minutes.

    For the Lasagna:

    Ingredients
    1 package of lasagna noodles (To keep it Paleo, I would sub in squash or eggplant)
    2-10 oz. boxes of frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
    ½ cup vegan mozzarella shreds (I would choose Daiya)
    Fresh basil for garnish

    Directions
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Ladle some marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x12 baking dish. Place some lasagna noodles in a layer to cover the bottom of the dish. Top the noodles with some marinara sauce. Spread half of the ricotta over the noodles evenly. Add 1/2 of the spinach over the ricotta. Then put 1/3 of the cashew cheese sauce over the spinach.

    Add a second layer of lasagna noodles. Add the marinara sauce, the other half of the ricotta, the other half of the spinach and another 1/3 of the cashew cheese sauce.

    Add the third and last layer of the lasagna noodles. Add the last 1/3 of the cashew cheese sauce and top with the shredded mozzarella.

    Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45-60 minutes or until the noodles have softened (note: cooking time may vary depending on your oven and whether you used no-boil noodles or not; no-boil seems to take longer). Remove the foil and continue to bake for another 15 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese has melted.

    Take the lasagna out of the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes. This will help it set better (it tastes even better the next day so you might want to make this the day before). Garnish with fresh basil and serve with extra marinara sauce. Enjoy!
