Things I learned from my first girlfriend included “vegetarian lasagna can be tasty”. We made it with chopped-up broccoli bits instead of ground beef, and it was pretty damn good.
Hear me out… use tofu instead of ricotta. I’m not even slightly vegan and I come from an Italian American family that takes lasagna seriously but I made it for my vegetarian ex and it was delicious.
Hmm, I like ricotta, but vegans can also enjoy my favorite lasagna variation: take a few plain ordinary button mushrooms, shred them with a cheese grater, and sprinkle mushroom shreds on top of the lasagna before baking.
I disagree with this so hard. I love tofu but absolutely hate it as a substitute for cheese. Would just taste soybeans. So disappointing when it’s subbed for paneer in the spinach paneer especially.
I can’t make a lasagna without cheese, but do routinely make food for vegan relatives, for parties and holidays I try to make “their” food more appealing than the meat dishes, absolutely would not attempt a lasagna. Cheese cheese cheese is lasagna to me. Doesn’t need meat at all but cheese oh yes.

I like to boil a handful of grass clippings and sprinkle a little gravel in for texture!
