Lasagna is a simple dish that you can make for family meals or dinner parties. This dish is great if you want to meal prep ahead of time for the week ahead. You don’t need to be vegan to love vegan lasagna. Read on to learn some wonderful lasagna recipes.
1. Vegan Lasagna With Tempeh
The key to any great lasagna is plenty of delicious layers that play against each other to provide a delightful flavor. This recipe features layers of tofu ricotta, tempeh, noodles, spinach, and vegan mozzarella cheese.
Tofu as a base for the ricotta is fantastic because it absorbs the other flavors well while providing a creamy texture. Basil and lemon provide the ricotta with a refreshing lift. These fresh flavors beautifully complement the depth of tempeh and the earthiness of the spinach.
2. Vegan Lasagna with Tofu Ricotta
This beautifully orchestrated lasagna includes layers such as zucchini, mushrooms, spinach, and tofu ricotta. The ricotta is made using tofu, soy milk, lemon juice, basil, and salt. The result is a perfectly textured, creamy sauce.
This lasagna is best served for a cozy family meal on a cold day, along with some salad and vegan garlic bread.
If you want to make this dish in advance so that you can eat it later, you can freeze it easily. A frozen lasagna can last for about two or three months after freezing. However, before heating this dish, you will need to thaw it for at least a day if you want the best result.
3. Creamy Vegan Mushroom Lasagna
This dish is an example of white lasagna. The absence of a tomato sauce allows mushrooms, spinach, and garlic to be the star of the dish as they play with a creamy vegan sauce. The key to the flavor of this dish is the marination of the mushrooms in garlic, balsamic vinegar, and soy marinate.
Those mushrooms blend nicely with the garlic white sauce and the layers of spinach and tofu ricotta. This lighter take on lasagna is perfect for a spring or summer dinner. If you want a nut-free version of this dish, this recipe gives instructions on how you can make a creamy garlic sauce without cashews.
Choose this dish when you are craving the comfort of lasagna but you want a different flavor profile.
4. Vegan Spinach Mushroom Lasagna
Spinach and mushrooms are a classic combination for a reason. The mushrooms bring earthiness, while the spinach provides some tanginess and brightness. Not to mention, these vegetables provide plenty of good vitamins and minerals. While this recipe uses jarred marinara sauce, you can also use a homemade version.
Vegan ricotta provides a creamy counterbalance to the sharper flavors of the vegetables and tomato sauce. This cheese is made from tofu, raw cashews, non-dairy yogurt, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, basil, and seasoning.
5. Vegan Wild Mushroom Lasagna
Bring together comfort food and elegance with this wild mushroom lasagna. A mix of wild mushrooms brings plenty of umami flavor, while the vegan bechamel sauce offers a light creaminess. The recipe uses shitake mushrooms, but you can use any mushrooms you want or a mixture of different types of mushrooms.
This recipe is excellent for those who want a soy-free version of vegan lasagna. While the existing recipe includes both gluten and nuts, it also offers some alternative options that do not require these ingredients. This dish is suited to anything from a fancy dinner party to a calm night at home. No matter the occasion,
6. Gluten-free Vegan Mushroom Lasagna
This dish is a fairly classic take on lasagna. The main difference between this and the classic is that gluten-free noodles are used. Meanwhile, bechamel provides creaminess, while a tomato sauce provides some tanginess. The recipe asks for the use of a jarred vegan white sauce, but you can also use a homemade vegan bechamel.
Choose this recipe when you need something simple and easy to make that still packs a lot of punch in terms of taste and nutrition. This lasagna pairs very well with some gluten-free garlic bread and a salad.
7. Vegan Zucchini Lasagna
While some noodles can be a delicious participant in a lasagna, sometimes it can be fun to let something else play the role of the pasta. Zucchini is perfect when it comes to a low-carb, gluten-free version of a lasagna noodle.
The other components of this lasagna are largely similar to other lasagnas. All you need for this recipe is some tomato sauce, vegan ricotta, and vegan shredded cheese. The recipe also calls for Italian seasoning.
The key to this dish is preparing the zucchini so that it is not watery. Accomplish this by salting and grilling the strips before layering them into the lasagna.
8. Vegan Ratatouille Lasagna
Lasagna is delicious, and so is ratatouille. So, why not combine those delicious dishes into one. Eggplant, zucchini, and peppers come together to make the ratatouille portion of this dish. Meanwhile, the creamy component of the lasagna is made with vegan butter, flour, cashew milk, nutmeg, and vegan mozzarella.
This recipe is a lovely choice if you want an especially robust version of vegan lasagna that contains plenty of vegetables. As a result of the heartiness of this dish, it is particularly well-suited as a dish that you can make ahead for lunches. This dish can be stored in the fridge for three to four days.
9. Lentil and Eggplant Lasagna
Instead of pasta noodles, this recipe uses long slices of eggplant to form its structure. Tofu ricotta provides a creamy element, while marinara and lentils provide protein, fiber, and a bright yet earthy flavor. Layer all of these components together to create a light yet filling dish.
This lasagna is a delicious and hearty dish perfect for cool weather. You may especially want to make it if you do not have a lot of time for cooking. You only need ten ingredients and a little more than an hour for this dish. It also pairs well with a simple soup or salad. You can keep this dish in the fridge for three to four days or in the freezer for a month.
10. Gluten-free Vegan Eggplant Lasagna
This lasagna is another recipe that uses eggplant slices instead of pasta noodles. As a result, the dish is free from gluten and grains. Instead, a tofu and cashew-based ricotta provide light and creamy components, while a lentil and vegetable filling offers bulk and protein.
Rather than salting and rinsing the eggplant, this recipe keeps the noodle replacements dry by baking the eggplant instead. Though this recipe is already very fast to make, if you want to make everything even faster, you can make all of the individual components in advance and then compile your lasagna later.
11. Vegan Lasagna With Cashew Cream
Make this recipe if you want a dish that hits all of the notes you want. It is creamy, zesty, and full of flavor. You will also love how much nutrition this dish offers. The cashew-based sour cream provides plenty of creaminess to this dish, and a mixture of sauteed vegetables provides a spike of flavor.
The recipe calls for vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, carrots, garlic, onion, and garlic. However, you can make this dish with any vegetables you like. With this dish’s large amount of flavor and nutrition, it is a great choice to bring for lunch.
12. Vegan Lasagna With Tofu-Cashew Ricotta
If you are looking for a vegan lasagna that plants plenty of protein, this may be the recipe you want. Red lentils combine with a marinara sauce to provide the bulk of the dish, along with tofu-cashew ricotta. Spinach provides some added flavor and nutrition. Finish off the lasagna with some vegan mozzarella cheese.
This lasagna is an especially great choice if you require a vegan lasagna that will appeal to children who do not like many vegetables. In addition, the lentil marinara is often more exciting to kids than other options. As a result, this dish is a cozy and nourishing meal for everyone.
13. Vegan Lasagna With Eggplant
While many of these vegan lasagna recipes use eggplant instead of noodles as a way of reducing grains, this recipe uses eggplant in combination with noodles. Vegan meat crumbles, along with the eggplant, provide bulk and protein to this dish.
While the other recipes on this list that have you make your cheese and other fillings are delicious, this recipe is a delicious choice if you do not have a lot of time. It is also great if you want something with only a few ingredients. Serve a slice of this lasagna along with vegetables, crusty bread, soup, or salad.
14. Vegan Lasagna With Spinach and Vegan Sausage
If you want a slightly more spice-forward version of this classic dish, try this recipe that contains plenty of delicious vegan Italian sausage in the filling. The prominent flavors from the vegan Italian sausage balance out a creamy sauce made from vegan ricotta, spinach, and non-dairy half and half.
This recipe features a trick for achieving a nice, cheesy topping for the top of this lasagna. After baking, the combination of vegan cream cheese and vegan half and half creates a perfectly textured crust for the lasagna. The main vegetable used in this recipe is spinach. However, you can add any additional vegetables you want, such as mushrooms or zucchini.
15. Vegan Lasagna With Bechamel
The key to this recipe is the careful combination of several flavors. From the combination of vegetables used in the ragu to the infusion of seasonings in the milk, you will be able to taste many complex elements that come together for a perfect bite.
This dish will offer plenty of flavor and nutrition thanks to the presence of vegetables and vegan mince. You can replace the mince with mushrooms and/or lentils if you want. Make this dish when you want a hearty meal without spending too much time cooking.
16. Vegan Zucchini Lasagna

This recipe is lovely if you need to avoid gluten or grains in your food. The person who created this recipe also provides recipes for the vegan ricotta and vegan mozzarella used in this recipe. However, you can also buy those ingredients in a store if you do not have time to make those cheeses. You can also choose to make a vegan bechamel as your creamy element.
17. Vegan Summer Vegetable Lasagna Rolls
If you love lasagna noodles, but you do not want to only make a lasagna out of them, consider making lasagna rolls. These spirals of noodles wind around a mixture of summer squash, zucchini, hummus, spinach, and tofu ricotta. The hummus in the ricotta provides a lot of additional flavor that you may not find in other ricottas.
These rolls are a great choice if you want all the heartiness and flavor of lasagna, but you also want a bit of stylish flair. Make this recipe for a dinner party or simply for lunch.

You can make all of the elements separately and then combine them at a later date. Choose this recipe if you want a lasagna that will provide you with a brown, cheese-like topping after baking. Remember to let your lasagna rest for about 15 minutes after it bakes. This rest period helps it set up so that you get the best texture possible.
20. Classic Vegan Lasagna Roll-ups
The flavors of white lasagna can be easily transferred into lasagna roll-ups.

All of these ingredients come together to provide a balanced and flavor-rich taste in every bite.
This delicate dish is perfect for several occasions, including a dinner party or a cozy date. A fun thing about roll-ups is that they are a fun dish to make with kids.
