Ingredients
  

  • 2 recipes oil-free marinara sauce, link in description below
  • 1 box lasagna noodles, oven-ready
  • 2 med zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise, a mandoline works best
  • 1 recipe vegan parmesan cheese, link in description below
  • 1 recipe vegan pesto ricotta, link in description below

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven temperature to 375°.
  • Cover the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking pan with the marinara sauce.
  • Top the sauce with one layer of lasagna noodles.
  • Top the lasagna noodles with a layer of zucchini slices.
  • Top the zucchini slices with a layer of the vegan pesto ricotta. (Use half of the recipe)
  • Repeat the above steps one more time. Be sure to use a generous amount of sauce. If not, the lasagna could be too dry.
  • Next repeat the steps but for the top layer of cheese, sprinkle with vegan parmesan cheese.
  • Bake uncovered for 50 minutes. If the top begins to brown too much, cover with parchment paper and then a sheet of foil until finished cooking.
  • Allow to rest for 15 minutes. Then slice and enjoy!
