Vegan Lasagna Roll Ups

Let's make lasagna, but rolled up for this Vegan Lasagna Roll Up recipe. It is more fun that traditional lasagna, and I think it tastes better in rolled form though you are welcome to disagree. 

I start by cooking the veggies that will go into the lasagna. If you prefer to use different veggies or add to this, please do, but you will want to reduce the number of zucchini and carrots so that you have the same total amount of veggies.



I use my own Ricotta Cheese recipe which is linked below and combine that with the veggies to make the filling.


Then I take the mostly cooked lasagna noodles and add the cheese and veggie blend. I roll the noodles when they are mostly cooked because they will continue to cook in the oven, and I do not want to risk overcooking and getting mushy or disintegrating noodles. The noodles I had were lasagna sheet noodles, so my roll ups were longer than usual. Normal lasagna noodles will work fine as well.


Then I topped the roll ups with a jar of marinara sauce and nutritional yeast. If you would like to use parmesan, you can, but I feel that nutritional yeast works best with this recipe.


The final product looks like the below. With normal noodles, it will look slightly different.
