The children and I absolutely love this vegetarian lasagne. It is nutrient dense and gives lasagne a new spin in our house rather than using pasta. We are currently working to strengthen gut health. You can also cook the mushrooms in bone broth.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 4 zucchini
- Sea salt
- 1 ¼ cups Tomato Pasta Mix (Organic)
- Shredded goats milk Cheddar for topping
Cauliflower “Ricotta”
- 1 organic cauliflower
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- ½ tub ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Mushroom “Meat”
- 1 teaspoon butter
- ½ yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 250g mushrooms, roughly chopped
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Method:
- Preheat the over to 180’C
- Thinly slice the zucchini lengthwise about ½ inch thick (or use a mandoline slicer). Lay in your lasagne tray.
- Prepare the cauliflower “ricotta”. Use Food Processor or Thermomix. Mix similar to cauliflower fried rice.
- Transfer Cauliflower to a bowel then twist it up and use your hands to firmly squeeze out the moisture. A lot of liquid should be released, leaving a very dry cauliflower pulp.
- Cook the cauliflower in a fry pan until golden brown.
- Mix in the eggs, cheese, oregano and salt. Set aside cauliflower
- Prepare the mushroom “meat”. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, mushroom and mix until the mushrooms are tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Mix cauliflower and mushroom meat together then layer.
- Add zucchini slices on top then layer again with cauliflower and mushroom meat.
- Add one final layer of zucchini and then sprinkle with goats cheese or cheddar.
- Cook for 60 minutes.
