Vegan Zucchini Lasagna with Cashew Cheese
Today I am sharing with you my vegan zucchini lasagna recipe with cashew cheese!
I absolutely love vegan lasagnas- they might be one of my most favourite meals ever! I find vegan lasagnas to be as good as traditional lasagnas with a delicious creamy cashew cheese topping and flavoursome veggies! We make lasagna quite often in our family and it is always a hit! I think lasagnas make such a family friendly meal. Also as a mum I love that I can sneak in extra veggies when making it! I have even blended canned beans in the passata sauce in the past! My kids love this “pasta cake”!!
I hope you will enjoy this vegan zucchini lasagna recipe with a cashew cheese on top! I sure do!

We have made this cashew cheese and zucchini lasagna a few times now. This lasagna is best served with a big Italian salad on the side. Or even some vegan garlic bread!
Another tip: when I make lasagnas I actually make two and keep one in the freezer! Super handy for lazy nights! (I cook it and then recook it in the oven 20-40 minutes until warm enough to eat).
Nut-free: You can make this vegan lasagna recipe nut-free by swapping the vegan cashew cheese and pine nuts for a layer of vegan bechamel made with soymilk and vegan butter or store-bought vegan cheese.
You can also add eggplants, lentils, baby spinach or mushroom for different vegan lasagna options.
