Vegan Lasagna
Lasagna is an Italian dish. Usually this dish is prepared with lasagna pieces layered with tomato meat sauce, ricotta cheese and mozzarella cheese.
I made this healthy vegan lasagna dish, with shredded cauliflower in tomato basil sauce to give it that ricotta cheese texture. It also used eggplant, capsicums and vegan or dairy free cheese. To my family’s surprise, this vegan lasagna was very tasty and delicious.
