Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 12 wide, flat no-boil or regular lasagna noodles

Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups creamy plant-based cheese blend
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 cup sautéed spinach or kale (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Tomato Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 28 oz crushed tomatoes (natural)
  • 1/4 cup grape juice (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Assembling and Baking

  • Additional creamy plant-based cheese blend for topping (about 1/2 cup)
  • Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pasta: Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions if using regular noodles, or use no-boil noodles for a quicker method. After cooking, lay the noodles flat on a clean kitchen towel to cool and prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Tomato Sauce: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent. Add crushed tomatoes (natural), grape juice (natural), fresh herbs, and the natural gelling agent. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to a luscious consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine creamy plant-based cheese blend with chopped fresh basil, parsley, oregano, and sautéed spinach or kale if using. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
  4. Assemble the Roll Ups: Spread a spoonful of the cheese and greens filling evenly onto one end of each pasta sheet. Carefully roll the noodles up and place them seam-side down in a baking dish that has a thin layer of tomato sauce at the bottom.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Spoon the remaining tomato sauce over the roll ups and sprinkle with extra creamy plant-based cheese blend. Drizzle lightly with olive oil. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.

Notes

  • Spread filling evenly to ensure consistent flavor in every bite.
  • Use fresh herbs whenever possible for the best flavor.
  • Lay cooked noodles on parchment paper or a kitchen towel to prevent them from sticking before rolling.
  • Adjust the natural gelling agent amount to achieve your preferred sauce thickness.
  • Allow the baked dish to rest for 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
