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 don’t I have ever made a lasagna to be honest, but thiiiiiis has got me craving a big slice right about now!
Aimee says
It was surprisingly easy actually, I always thought lasagnas were fiddly but this was so easy! Definitely giving me an excuse to make it more often :-)
Mary says
Wow! It looks like real lasagna with cheese! I’m looking for a lasagna recipe since a long moment! Your recipe looks so delicious, I really want to try it :)
Aimee says
Thanks Mary! Since becoming vegan, I hadn’t had a decent lasagna so I was SO happy when I tasted this for the firs time. It’s got all the right flavours and textures :-) Let me know if you try it!
Sharon says
Oh my word, this looks absolutely lush Aimee! ❤️ I love lasagna but rarely make it as it’s such a faff. Your recipe sounds so straightforward & fast! I already use the Sacla sun-dried tomato paste & free-from pesto, but I didn’t realise they did a vegan béchamel sauce too. I need to hunt it out asap! xx
Aimee says
I was surprised how easy it was because I had always thought of lasagnas as being a lot of work to make. But it’s a doddle! I’ve made it about 3 times since, already :-) I think the new sauce should be in stock in Co-op already, I think some other stores are slow to follow.

Now why can’t they make lasagne like this when we’re eating out? I wouldn’t mind it being on the menu all the time then. I always use mushrooms too – they are so full of umami.
Aimee says
Yes! Total umami goodness. I agree, it’s so simple to make something like this and yet we’re stuck with boring salads on the menu.
