Vegetable/Lentil Sauce
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 3 carrots chopped
- 2 bell peppers chopped
- 2 celery stalks chopped
- 2 15 oz cans lentils
- salt + pepper to taste
- 6 oz spinach chopped
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 2 teaspoon italian seasoning or oregano and thyme
Other ingredients
- 3 cups marinara sauce homemade or store bought
- lasagna noodles
Boil water for lasagne noodles then cook as suggested on the package
Preheat oven to 425.
Prepare the vegetables by adding the onions, carrots, and bell peppers to a pan with avocado oil. 8-10 minutes. Add some spinach, salt, pepper, seasoning, then garlic. Cook for 5 minutes until incorporated and spinach is wilted. Add in the lentils so they're incorporated
Assemble your lasagne: spread tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish (I used 9 x13) to form a small layer, layer lasagne noodles on top. Top with ½ of the veggies. Top with 1 cup tomato sauce. Add another layer of pasta, then the rest of veggies. Add tomato sauce then pasta noodles. Top with the final amount of tomato sauce
Wrap the dish in aluminum foil and bake covered for 25 minutes. Rotate then cook for another 5-10 minutes. It should be steaming and bubbling in the corners
Let the lasagne cool then enjoy!
