Why these Ingredients
Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips
How to Make Béchamel:
Melt 2 tbsp dairy-free butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tbsp all-purpose flour to form a roux and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in 1 cup dairy-free milk until smooth and creamy. Season with a pinch of salt and nutmeg if desired. Stir until thickened.
Notes:
- Place the lasagna sheets diagonally so they fit in the skillet and stay mostly submerged in the sauce — this is what cooks them through evenly without boiling.
- Do not stir once the pasta sheets are in, or they will break up unevenly.
Storage:
- Leftovers keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in a covered skillet over low heat with a splash of water.
- Freezes well for up to 2 months.
Swaps:
- Mushrooms can be swapped for lentils, crumbled tofu, or any finely chopped vegetable.
- Dairy-free mozzarella can be replaced with any melting vegan cheese.
- Tomato purée can be swapped for crushed canned tomatoes.
Tips:
- Use a wide, deep skillet or a shallow pot for the best results — you need enough surface area for the pasta sheets to lay flat.
- Keep the lid on while the pasta cooks to trap steam and ensure even cooking.
