Ingredients

12 lasagne sheets
2 cups cooked lentils
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the lasagne sheets according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the onion and garlic in a large pan over medium heat until translucent.
Add the cooked lentils, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Blend the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and water in a blender until smooth to make the cashew cheese.
Layer the lasagne in a baking dish: start with a layer of lentil bolognese, then lasagne sheets, followed by cashew cheese and spinach. Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cashew cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the lasagne cool for 10 minutes before serving.
