Description

Making pasta will take on a whole new dimension after you hear this:

Preparing a lasagna can take up to 90 minutes plus sauce preparation. And what about the resulting pile of dishes?  Who has so much time on their hands? Don’t look at me….

Thanks to this “One pot” method of preparation you save time and headaches, because  all the ingredients go into a single pot, which is brought  to a boil and cooks for 20 minutes! Ideal for weeknights when you are deafened by kids screaming”where’s dinner?” 

This vegan lasagna pan recipe is also a great way for your family to enjoy tempeh. Tempeh is a superfood made from soybeans that is as rich in protein as beef and  contains more fiber.
Enjoy!

Ingredients

3 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, diced
240 g of tempeh, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp dried basil
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
2 tbsp cane sugar
2 cups strained tomatoes 500 ml
2 cups vegetable broth 500 ml
150 g raw lasagna, broken into pieces
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1
In a skillet, over medium-high heat, soften the onion and green pepper in the oil for 5 minutes.
2
Add the tempeh and continue cooking for about 4 minutes.
3
Add garlic, oregano, basil, ground red pepper, cane sugar and mix well.
4
Stir in the strained tomatoes and vegetable broth.
5
Add pasta, mix well, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

    This looks amazing. May I please check when you say strained tomatoes, do you mean tomato puree or crushed tomatoes strained and pureed? in the video it looks more like a puree. Thank you for so much.

    Looks good but what do you mean by “raw” lasagna? Store bought traditional that has to be boiled or the no cook type or should I make my own lasagna noodles? Thanks

    I did not think that this was going to turn out that good, oh boy was I wrong! I couldn’t believe how delicious it was, I could’ve eaten the whole thing by myself! I will be making it again and again and again

    The spicy lentil soup was a success, delicious and I added a dolop of Cajun cream when served. Mmmmmmmm!
    I also did his cream brûlée, no way, it was not a good idea.

    Hmmm… You had me in the description esp. when mentioning “pile of dishes” and screamers demanding dinner (although I only heard stories from my spouse about that last one!)

    But then knee-jerk the addition of SUGAR! YEECH!!! Really?? Did you look up the ingredients on the can of tomatoes?? This becomes another gooey, disgustingly sweet mass.

    I plan to skip the tempeh (hard to find in regular grocery stores) and replace with a similar amount of pureed white beans (there is ypur thickening and your proteins!)

    I plan to skip straining the tomatoes to REDUCE THE PILE OF DISHES BY ONE OR TWO ITEMS. What’s wrong with some texture? It isn’t like canned tomatoes are a hatd item to bite into – even before you cook them!

    Lasagna: gey the LESS EXPENSIVE ones that are NOT ready for the oven (is this what you meant by “raw lasagna”?) And consider adding them for the last 15 mins so they come out with some “dente” not the mooshy stuff offered in commercial kitchens.

    Lastly, when served it would add a lot to add a few teaspoons of full-bodied ricotta – maybe 3 or so per serving? (Not vegan but still vegetarian!
