  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cans (28 oz each) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
• For the Under-the-Bed Veggie Filling:
  • 2 zucchinis, sliced thinly lengthwise
  • 1 large eggplant, sliced thinly lengthwise
  • 2 cups spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cups vegan ricotta (store-bought or homemade)
• For the Woman’s Secret Layer:
  • 1 box lasagna noodles (whole grain or gluten-free, if preferred)
  • 2 cups vegan mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Alarmingly Delicious Tomato Sauce:
   • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
   • Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
   • Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
   • Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
   • Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning to taste.
2. Prepare the Under-the-Bed Veggie Filling:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Spread the zucchini and eggplant slices on a baking sheet, sprinkle with a little salt, and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.
   • In a large skillet, sauté the mushrooms, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add chopped spinach at the end and cook until wilted.
3. Assemble the Woman’s Secret Layer:
   • Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
   • In a large baking dish, spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom.
   • Add a layer of lasagna noodles.
   • Spread a layer of vegan ricotta over the noodles.
   • Add a layer of sautéed vegetables.
   • Top with zucchini and eggplant slices.
   • Repeat layers, ending with a layer of lasagna noodles.
4. Finish and Bake:
   • Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the top layer of noodles.
   • Sprinkle the shredded vegan mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
   • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
   • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
   • Let the lasagna sit for 10 minutes before serving to allow it to set.
