This vegan and gluten-free lasagna recipe from One Green Planet offers a satisfying alternative to traditional Italian pasta recipes that are made with meat, heaps of cheese, white noodles and red sauce.
The unconventional lasagna recipe features leeks, mint leaves, rosemary, pumpkin or squash, as well as mushrooms, plus ginger and fresh lemon zest. Unlike many classic lasagna recipes that involve many minutes of tedious work, this one only calls for boiling the noodles and layering them with the other ingredients once ready—there's no baking required to finish off the dish before serving. As such, this simplified recipe will appeal to those who love lasagna but are starved for time.
One of the most standout features of the finished dish are the dark buckwheat noodles, which are said to enhance the small plate dish with a "rustic feel."
