Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • 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!
