We've done it again in the vegan-lasagna-that-rocks category, and don't worry, it won't make you gain weight ;-) plus, it's perfect for big eaters like us!

To change things up and because it's becoming more and more accessible, we used a soy and wheat mince from the Céréal brand. Of course, this is optional; you can make lasagna with just veggies.

One last little note (and then we'll leave you alone ;-) ), you can either buy the marinated peppers or make them yourself (grilled or roasted and then preserved in oil). Same for the lasagna noodles - you can find them in the pasta section or make them at home (for example, with our vegan spinach and pine nut ravioli dough).

Steps

Prepare the tomato sauce: peel and finely chop the onions. Roughly chop the tomatoes. Heat some oil in a saucepan and cook the onions. Add the tomatoes and a little bit of water if needed. Let it simmer for fifteen minutes. Blend the sauce and add the basil and tomato paste. Season with salt, pepper, and spices.
Prepare the topping: peel and finely chop the onions. Dice the tomatoes. Sauté the onions in a pan with a little oil. Add the soy strips and cook for a few minutes until golden brown. Add the tomatoes and continue cooking for 5 minutes. Season to taste.
Prepare the béchamel: In a saucepan, melt the margarine until it boils. Add the cornstarch and whisk everything together. Let it cook for 2 minutes. Gradually add the soy milk while whisking. Bring to a boil so the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and spices.
Roughly chop the marinated peppers and preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).
In your baking dish, start with a little bit of tomato sauce and then cover with lasagna noodles. Layer the filling, marinated bell peppers, sauce, and lasagna noodles successively to fill up your dish. Finish by pouring the béchamel sauce and sprinkling with gomasio and breadcrumbs.
Bake for 40 minutes and it's ready :D !
