Lentil Lasagna | Easy, Vegan, Protein Packed!

[@Recycledpisswater]

I made this for my family last night and it was gone before everyone left the table. I questioned the recipe, because of the tomato sauce that was used, but sure enough it is delicious. I combined Miyokos plant milk (mozzarella) with the cheese sauce and it was divine. Thank you for inspiring me to use lentils!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Oh great I’m so glad to hear that everyone loved it! Thank you for letting me know. I love using lentils so I’m glad to have inspired you and hope you’ll find many more ways to incorporate them into your meals! I haven’t tried the miyokos plant milk mozz yet but their products are great so I’m sure that was divine! 😋

So glad this channel is picking up. It's so underrated.

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Thank you so much! That means so much to us 🥰

I agree. Kathryn and Brian are wonderful. They just make a great team. ❤❤ and the food, yummilicious as always

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Aw thank you so much! Haha I love that the food is yummilicious 😂😋I’ll have to steal that 😜

[@tamcon72]

I have not made lasagna in a while, and this looks nice and hearty for the coming nippier weather. Also looking forward to the pear salad vid, for the same reason. I love autumnal food! Thanks for posting, and for the wonderful feedback from the Mister! 🙂

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

I’m glad you’re excited about the pear barley salad and I hope this one will be pretty simple to make as far as lasagnas go when you give it a try! Thank you so much for watching as always and I’m looking forward to autumn too!

[@randomthoughtsonscripture4581]

Oh, this looks heavenly! I love the pattern the cheese and tomato sauces make on top. I already have most of the ingredients, will print the recipe and try it. :)

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Oh perfect! I love to hear that you don’t have to go out and buy too many new ingredients for a recipe. Let me know how you enjoy it 🥰

[@jackiesibblis3793]

Thank you Kathryn and Bryan. Easy cheese sauce🎉🎉🎉

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Yes! I haven’t tried this one on any other recipes as just a cheese sauce but it would be so easy to boost up the flavour if you felt it needed it for different uses. It’s nice to not have to soak cashews or anything and just blend it quickly 👍🏼

@@TastyThriftyTimely I have a long list of recipes i want to see your version: Using soy curls 3 different recipes, Seitan recipes: seitan sausage, chicken, meat; vegan pho; High protein meals; 30 min and under recipes for busy people; pumpkin bread, tofu spreads sweet like strawberry, berries, etc.; savory tofu spreads; vegan fried rice... I haven't checked all your recipes so you may have some of this already made. Thank you!!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Oh great! I’ve only used soy curls a couple of times and I’ve never actually used seitan myself so I’ll get thinking on those. You might like watching our playlists because that will lead you right to the videos we have that fall into some of the categories you mention here “protein packed”, “easy weeknight meals”, “amazing tofu recipes”. And I have a sweet potato bread video that could easily be made with pumpkin and a video on “my universal vegan stir fry sauce” that I use on a rice stir fry (not quite fried rice but close)!

[@brentgreeff1115]

I subbed within 10 seconds of seeing that lasagna - this is so me right now. I was keto for a while and got very sick. Cant wait to make this.

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Thank you for subbing! Welcome 👋🏼 I’m sorry to hear you got sick on the keto diet but I’m glad that you’re making some changes now and this recipe came out at just the right time for you! Keep us posted when you try it. We really hope you enjoy it! (Careful with all the fibre if your gut is still adjusting… you might want more than one slice but fill up on salad and/or garlic bread too lol)

I think I'll do this with black lentils, I love their subtle flavor, smaller size and that they hold their shape well. Have you tried freezing it? I'm a single, cat lady (lol) and this would last me quite a while!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

I’ve never used black lentils actually! I’ll have to try them. And yes! It freezes really well (I made this three days in a row because of all our filming and photos 😂 so we have lots in the freezer!) I have some instructions for freezing it in the recipe card on the blog if you click the link in the bio. I prefer to defrost in the fridge overnight and then bake at 350 F, covered, for 30 min. Baking from frozen just takes quite a bit longer.

@@jackiesibblis3793 I’m glad you liked that 👍🏼 you could definitely use another nut or seed but sunflower seeds tend to be inexpensive for me so that’s what I went with!

[@jackiesibblis3793]

Havw you made cheese which can be grated before?

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

I make a vegan “queso” which I freeze and grate but I haven’t tried a grated cheese on this lasagna. A grated cheese even on the very top layer might give this lasagna a look more similar to a traditional lasagna (even if there’s no cheese pull action) lol. I haven’t figured out a way to make a more solid, grate-able vegan cheese without using coconut oil to help it set. Let me know if you have any current favourite recipes!

[@blofeld39]

My family, for big festive occasions, always makes lasagna -- meaty and meatless options, but the meatless isn't vegan, so I'm going to see if I can persuade them to swap out their cheesy meatless for your vegan cheeseless recipe for the next big familial get-together. (As the daughter of people who work with LOTS of food, I'm sure you have some idea of just what a lifesaver it is to have OPTIONS for LOTS of food for LOTS of people... :-D lol) There a specific wine you preferred to pair this with? I saw the red, but since this was technically meatless, I wonder how white would've gone? (Also, are there proper vegan options for wine-drinkers, I wonder? I may be misinformed, but I did think there were things like fish bladders involved in distilling and such, but then again I may have completely the wrong end of the stick, on this, so correct me if I'm wrong, please!) By the way, have you and Bryan got a vegan pierogi recipe? 🙂And, if you do, do you prefer the pierogis soft or crispy? Looking forward to that pear salad next week!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Haha yes I definitely know what those family functions are like! Yes most wine does include animal products in the distilling process. There is a site called “barnivore” that lists vegan wines and is really helpful! White would definitely go as well! We don’t have a pierogi recipe although we love eating them! I prefer them crispy. I have a recipe for a Portuguese turnover which is quite similar to a pierogi but with a “shrimp-like” filling. I could probably take that dough and try a pierogi!

[@blofeld39]

@@TastyThriftyTimely I mean, only if you wanted to! 🙂Don't just feel like you "MUST" do it on my account, I hope! 😛lol Do you go by "Barnivore" in selecting your wine purchases, or do you just buy red or white regardless if it looks good/value is right?

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Haha I’m always open to suggestions and ideas! I’m definitely not a wine connoisseur so barnivore helps to know which wineries produce vegan wine but beyond that it’s usually a shot in the dark for me lol 🤣

[@blofeld39]

@@TastyThriftyTimely Had a thought -- does the volcanic soil of Sao Miguel produce good wines? 🙂

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Interesting thought. There are a couple of azorean islands that produce wine and it is known as “volcanic wine” but I can’t really recall whether I’ve had them and if they are good or not. I’m sure they are 🤷🏻‍♀️ lol
