Finally got round to finding where I’d scribbled this recipe down and typing it up for you all😂🙄Apologies for the delay! Here is my Sausage Pesto Lasagne recipe for you all to make and devour❤️I used caramelised shroomdogs for the following reasons 1) extra flavour and 2) they crumble really easily compared to some other vegan sausages. But feel free to use your favourite🥳The combination might seem a little strange, but I can assure you it’s heaven ☁️ Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it. Recipe as follows👇🏼(serves 6 normal humans/ 4 Luce’s)
▪️INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
1/2 white onion (diced)
2 garlic cloves (crushed)
1/2 teaspoon of italian seasoning
500g vegan sausage meat (I used caramelised onion shroomdogs)
3 tablespoons of dairy free pesto (I used )
150g cherry tomatoes (halved)
2 courgettes (sliced lengthways)
Lasagne sheets
Handful of fresh basil
Handful of pine nuts
▫️For the sauce
350g silken tofu
450ml oat milk
60g cashew nuts
100g grated dairy free cheese plus a handful more for decorating
1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast
50g plain flour
Pinch of nutmeg
▪️METHOD
1. Preheat oven to 180c and scatter the sliced courgettes on a baking tray. Drizzle with a touch of oil and place in the oven to roast for 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile heat a pan on a medium heat and add the olive oil and diced white onion. Cook for 5 minute stirring occasionally before adding the garlic, Italian seasoning, cherry tomatoes and crumbled sausage meat.
3. Combine and cook for a few more minutes. Next add the pesto combine.
4. Meanwhile prepare the sauce by adding the cashew nuts, silken tofu, oat milk and nutritional yeast to a blender and blend until smooth. Add to a separate saucepan along with the grated cheese, plain flour and nutmeg. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and thick.
5. Load up your large lasagne dish with the sausage mix on the base, then a layer of lasagne sheets, white sauce, sausage meat, layer of courgettes, white sauce and repeat until the dish is full. Make the last layer white sauce and then top with the extra handful of grated cheese.
6. Place in the oven for 30 minutes, and serve with fresh basil and
