This vegan mushroom lasagna is creamy, rich, flavourful, comforting and oh so satisfying to eat. The tastiest vegan lasagna I've tried so far, that just so happens to be gluten-free too!
Thank you Sacla' for sponsoring this recipe!
A good vegan lasagna is hard to come by. But guys... I think I've found one of the best, if I may say so.
Sliced mushrooms are used in place of meat and I use Sacla's new free-from bechamel sauce to add the creamy element.
Vegan cheese or nutritional yeast is totally optional - I've tried it both with and without and BOTH are delicious.
I tested this dish out on my meat-eating friend who absolutely loved it and even asked for seconds, so this is definitely a dish the whole family can enjoy, regardless of their diet.

I tried this for Sunday dinner. Served it up with pan fried greens (asparagus, sprouting stem broccoli & spinach) and home made garlic baguette. So tasty and fulfilling. So much so that it will make it onto my weekday recipe list.

Made this for dinner tonight - we absolutely loved it - so tasty and very easy. I made my own vegan béchamel as I couldn't find the Sacla sauce. I'm not generally keen on making lasagne as they always seem like a lot of work, but this one wasn't and is definitely on the 'to do again' list :)
