Ingredients
For the Ricotta Cheese:
1 cup cashews, soaked in hot water for 30 minutes, then drained
1/4 cup hemp seeds
7 ounces (1/2 block) firm tofu, drained and wrapped in a paper towel for a few minutes
1/2 cup water
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup fresh basil
To Assemble the Lasagna:
3 medium zucchini
Instructions:
Place drained cashews, hemp seeds, tofu, water, lemon juice and Italian seasoning in a high-powered blender and process until creamy. Add basil and pulse until the basil is just chopped and combined.
Using a mandoline, thinly slice the zucchini lengthwise. Spread 1/2 cup pasta sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
Place a layer of sliced zucchini on top of the pasta sauce. Spread half of the "ricotta" and 1 cup of the pasta sauce over the zucchini. Repeat for the next layer. Finish with a final layer of zucchini and tomato sauce.
Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees F for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
