Homemade Vegan Lasagna is here!
Are you ready to have your mind blown?
This healthy version of lasagna will seriously be your new favorite easy dinner to make. Homemade vegan lasagna for the win! Growing up, my mom used the make the most amazing lasagna. It was easily one of the best things she made.
I have to say, this vegan version tastes pretty damn close to my moms.
This recipe is:
✔️Vegan
✔️WFPB
✔️Oil-free
✔️Free of refined sugars
✔️Gluten-free optional (just use GF lasagna noodles)
I start off by adding tomato sauce to the bottom of the pan with a little bit of water. Then I line the whole wheat lasagna noodles on top!
Dollop on the tofu ricotta and more sauce.
Spread the ricotta. Keep layering like this and repeat until you run out of ricotta.
Omg. Would you look at how beautiful this homemade vegan lasagna is when it comes out of the oven?! I topped mine with vegan parmesan cheese and it added the perfect texture on top.
I couldn’t control myself while taking the pictures for this blog (I kept taking bites as we photographed..sorry not sorry). The lasagna smelled way too good…my whole house smelled like an Italian restaurant.
My boyfriend is a lucky man. He reaps all the benefits from me being a food blogger.
He works out a lot and his weight lifting requires some heavy duty plant-based duel. This homemade vegan lasagna was perfect for his insatiable appetite.

Looks delish and I have all the ingredients ready to go. Question for you- Do you cook the lasagna noodles before layering? Or did you layer with uncooked noodles? Thanks much
Layer with uncooked noodles!!
This recipe was so easy and so DELICIOUS! Thank you! I will make this again and again!
It’s my favorite!! So glad you liked it
Do you have to press the tofu first?
If it’s very watery, yes but don’t make yourself crazy.
I love this recipe. Very simple and basic. You can do all kinds of things with it! I added vegetables to it!
1st time I did a lasagne at home and I really liked it! Super easy to do and tasty. Thank you!!!
I like this as a good basic lasagne and have made it twice. We love it. This time I added grated zucchini, sautéed mushrooms and steamed chard from my garden. It’s now in my regular rotation. Thanks for this one!
Wow! Thanks for your feedback!
Amazing! I followed the recipe as stated and it turned out great. The taste and texture was perfect for me. I definitely recommend trying this one.
Made this last weekend. My husband and I absolutely loved it, that I made it again this weekend. So good and easy to make. 😋
I was looking all over for a simple, easy lasagna WFPB recipe that sounded like REAL lasagna, and I found this one. Can’t wait to try it!
Delicious! I added sautéed veggies as a layer, yum!
What size tomato sauce jars does this require? Or how many oz total tomato sauce?
Hi! Taylor from team HealthyGirl here!
25 oz jars and I used about 1.5 jars.
