Let's say you were making a lasagne that couldn't involve
dairy, and tomato.
I am going to finely chop carrots, spinach, garlic, sausage, basil, red bell pepper, and sautee it. I was thinking of just making a lot of it and adding it layer by layer and baking it that way.
However, do you have any other ingredients that you'd add to make it more palatable and not boring? If you say dairy, tomato, or puppies, not funny.
Re: Let's say you were making a lasagne that couldn't involve
I've made lasagna with tofu "ricotta," and I've also used pesto in place of tomato sauce.
eta: der, I always make my pesto cheeseless, so I always think of it as cheeseless without, well, thinking.
why not just make pasta with veggies in it? IMO lasagna NEEDS cheese or it would be all floopy.
i would do a regular pasta dish with sausage and veg with an olive oil and garlic "sauce". soooo good.

they have soy cheese
why no tomato ?
Now I want lasagna!
Maybe I can pick some up for dinner tonight. mmmmm
It IS floopy, babu. It is so floopy.
I just want to try to make a decent alternative. There's something very comforting about cutting out those squares of pasta and having a nice salad with them.
lol @ I'd make steak.
The soy cheese -- it's not so good. And, allergies/food intolerances.
Thank you!
mmm wait, this sounds good. I change my vote to this. Yay fungus!
Sorry - you lost me at dairy.
I cannot bring myself to commit such blasphemy in the kitchen. That is NOT a lasagne - it is a pasta/veggie dish.
Use egg to hold it together.
Saute your veggies, whatever and then beat two eggs and mix them in with the veggies before layering.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
Tambcat - little tambina is absolutely precious! Congrats to you and Mr. Tambcat!
Thank you!
Allergies. Speak any English?
*gestures with puppy*
YES!
yesyesyes
thx
Maybe try a bechamel sauce with soy milk/butter? No idea if it would turn out correctly but might be worth a shot.
Rice or soy based cheese works just as well and works the same as "real" ricotta and mozzarella.
(I personally prefer the rice-based products)
I often make dairy-free, gluten-free lasagna and my DH ( who LOVES 'real' cheese) still eats half the pan in one sitting
These are really good ideas.
I haven't found a cheese aside from Daiya to use. I can't have safflower oil, either. The others that I've tried taste really weird, but I haven't had them all.
