Skillet Veggie Lasagna


Your family favorite meal just got a healthy makeover! Protein-packed, gluten-free, plant-based skillet veggie lasagna. Simple weeknight meal, Kid-friendly, Meat-Free, High in Fiber, Gluten- Free, Dairy- Free, Vegan 




Lasagna was a family classic in our Italian family but it was full of hard to digest carbs, loaded with conventional cheese and lots of meat. I didn't want to have to give up eating a classic dish even thought it made me feel yucky so I decided to take a twist on our family favorite with this plant based one pan skillet version. It's super simple totaling a whopping 10 minutes of prep time and no boiling of the noodles!





I created this one pan skillet lasagna for simplified dinners during the week. Still doesn't replace a REAL lasagna, but I'll be sharing my #1 requested and fan fav, spaghetti squash lasagna/casserole very soon!





I topped it off with my a few dollops of my homemade cashew cream cheese to replace the usual ricotta filling that's in lasagna. Check out my recipe here. I used these lentil flour lasagna noodles for a low carb, high protein alternative,, to!




My cashew cheese has a hint of nutty flavor because I add nutritional yeast flakes for B vitamins and an extra boost of iron! It's creamy, dreamy and so delicious.
