If you have at home some vegan yoghurt, good vegan cheese, some cooking cream, non-boiled lasagna noodles and some spinach – this recipe can be a perfect option for a nice homey comfort food. In this recipe I used frozen spinach instead of fresh. It just took a short time to saute it, to season and to use it as filling.
This lasagna has a mild taste, it is nicely slightly sour (because of vegan yoghurt) and has a lovely deep note that comes from nutritional yeast. Usually I preffer to use ceramic and refractory trays for baking dishes such as lasagnas and moussakas. Food gets a nice crispy layer on the bottom and arround the edges, and at the same time looks very presentable when served.
I find that nutritional yeast is on of the most necessary ingredients since the time I changed my food habits to a completely vegan (that was more than 5 years ago). In vegan cuisine it is frequently used as addition to a wide range of dishes. The nutritional yeast that can be found on our market is usually enriched with vitamin B12.
Nutritional yeast can be used in different variations of savory and sweet dishes, e.g. for lasagnas, dressings and sauces on one side, and for vegan tiramisu and pancakes with sweetened vegan cheese on the other side.
