- I love lasagne and this is one of my favs!!
The tofu ricotta really makes it.
The loose recipe is as follows:
You’ll need a packet of lasagne sheets.
2 tins of pasta sauce or make your own.
Ricotta filling:
1 block of tofu
½ a cup of nutritional yeast
1 packet of frozen spinach
2 cloves of garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
Tsp of vegeta veg stock if you have it.
½ cup of soy milk (or until it’s a ricotta texture)
Handful of basil or parsley to take this to the next level.
Use a food processor to make the tofu mix into a ricotta type texture.
Layer the 3 components, starting with pasta sauce.
You want to have moisture around the sheets so they cook.
Top with nutritional yeast, tomatoes, or vegan cheese if you’re not in a weight-loss phase.
Cook at 180°C for about 10 - 20 minutes until pasta is soft.
Enjoy with a big side of veg.

I don’t really use recipes, but for one big tray like I made here’s the loose idea:
You’ll need a packet of lasagne sheets.
2 tins of pasta sauce or make your own.
Ricotta filling:
1 block of tofu
½ a cup of nutritional yeast
1 packet of frozen spinach
2 cloves of garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
Tsp of Vegeta veg stock if you have it.
½ cup of soy milk (or until it’s a ricotta texture)
Handful of basil or parsley to take this to the next level.
Use a food processor to make the tofu mix into a ricotta-type texture.
Layer the 3 components, starting with pasta sauce.
You want to have moisture around the sheets so they cook.
Top with nutritional yeast, tomatoes, or vegan cheese if you’re not in a weight-loss phase.
Cook at 180°C for about 10 - 20 minutes until pasta is soft.

After just watching yet another video of one of my favorite UA-camrs decide to quit because of negative comments, I feel the need to say that you are amazing and what you have built and shared with others here on UA-cam is incredible. You have inspired me and I have made many of your recipes. Please don’t be a slave to negative people. I love you just as you are.❤
Sometimes negative comments are not meant to hurt but to be constructive criticism and to get someone thinking. I once made a comment on a fashion channel that was considered a little mean and I apologised immediately, people have different opinions and I still think that colour didn't suit the person wearing it and I was actually shocked she'd taken the comment as hurtful. I would not encourage any feedback at all on my YT channel which is private anyway but was found by trolls. You can disable comments, which I do. I would say to any UA-camr not to take anything personally and of course you don't have to invite/allow/read comments and abusers can be blocked. You also don't have to share your personal life, thoughts, family or even face - there are channels where the recipe-maker only shows their hands, never the face or any other identifying detail and their channels still have a huge number of subscribers.
A huge YES to all of the above!
@@luluandmeowA LOT of it recently is from trolls who don’t back down. Not everyone is you. Just because your negative comments are to “help” (trust me they usually never do because it comes in a sea of negative comments made to hurt) doesn’t mean a majority of negative comments are for the same.
Because I cannot eat wheat to make a lasagne I use sliced roasted eggplant or sliced zucchini. This give the layered effect just more veggies 😊
I really like your philosophy/perspective on losing weight. As a much older person, I can look back over the decades and see that my weight changes were always slower than the diet culture gets us to expect and believe. Once I let go of all the expectations, rules, restrictions, and calorie counting, my weight has stabilized. I do need to shed twenty pounds to be at an optimal healthy weight, so your food and prepping ideas have been very helpful and inspirational!
I make a lasagna almost identical to this except I add TVP to the sauce. I also sometimes make wide zuchinni ribbons and microwave them a few minutes and squeeze out the water and layer with the noodles. It looks pretty when you slice up the servings to see the extra pop of green. Love your take on nuanced diets.
I've been searching for a weight loss friendly lasagna recipe and this looks flippin' amazing! As always, I especially appreciate the weight loss tips/recommendations. The "all or nothing" approach has not worked for me, and I love how you explained how it really is all about the mindset and not about counting calories. 💕
You are doing an amazing job maintaining your weight loss! I am one of those who have gained a lot of my weight I lost over the past 4 years… Finally getting a handle on that progression… Thank you for your suggestions! You are spot on!!!!!!!! (Also, please ignore those who criticize. If they disagree with something you do, they can be a content creator and put their ideas out there.)
I make a similar ricotta for our lasagne.... two tweaks to add a wow factor is blitzing a bunch of basil and a squeeze of lemon into the ricotta 🎉🎉🎉
Appreciate your content- practical, simple and easy recipes for plant based food is really helpful. It also weirdly makes me feel more normal to see someone else who doesn’t often use a measuring cup and/or spoon when tweaking recipes and winging it 😊 Don’t give up, don’t focus on perfect and don’t forget to be grateful for everything you have right now!
Portion size makes a huge difference to keeping weight off
yeah - thank you for this recipe - it’s great for having guests who don’t eat plant based to show how delicious veggie meals are ❤️❤️❤️
I really liked your explanation about overall diet quality and how higher calorie elements can fit in Chelsea. Great video ❤
Love the idea of better and not all or nothing works very well for me to hear right now. I am doing an all in approach right now peppered in with a treat meal every three days, I like your idea of making better choices, so this is sustainable I am in very good place doing a little movement in morning tied to while coffee is brewing, thank you for that idea as well - I have my coffee after I am done !❤ works very well 👌 my husband is diabetic and I am trying to help him I am inspired ✨️ by u and your husband working so wonderfully together to be healthy!
Thank you for this great recipe. I love your philosophy and your honesty. So helpful. I’m working on releasing 50 pounds. It’s a bit daunting. Working on helping my taste buds release the desire for oils. I’m about 85% there. Thank you for sharing our options.
This looks great and not hard to modify if needed. Also I see myself making a tray, cut it up and freeze for food prep.
It is so so nice and I'm jealous that your family supports you in your journey. Even seeing your family eat plant-based foods is such a joy. You don't know how lucky you are. My family all of them are jerks when it comes to supporting me😢
@nancyherrmann2491. I am so sorry your family is not supportive. Keep the faith and hang in there. Maybe as they see you thriving they will come around too eventually. Meanwhile hugs from another WFPB eater who sees how hard you are trying.
This looks great. I’d fill it with lots of mushrooms and peppers and such as well to really chock it full of veg. One piece with a nice side of salad and it’s perfect for a weight loss meal. At least in my view. (I wrote this before you mentioned it being full of veg and having veg on the side). 😂
I think using tofu in the ricotta is a fantastic idea! I’ve planning to make a lasagna so next shopping trip I will buy additional tofu and make this. I love your channel!!
I Love the recepy and Lasagne in general. I will have to have a big vegi add on side. Crucial as I otherwise overeat on a delicious lasagne 🫣🫠 but I love your point of a food being neither good nor bad. That’s a healthier way of seeing it and I will try and be aware of the option of not CHOOSING components of a meal. Like a pastry topping 🙌🏻☀️never accrued to me actually….
Thanks for your content! It’s so helpful ❤
Thank you Chelsea
I’m going to try this recipe for my Easter Dinner for me while the rest are eating their turkeys .
Thank you again love your videos 🙏🏽
M:)
I think it’s fantastic. The only thing I do differently is I make my own cheese sauce instead of using the store-bought one.
I so appreciate your content, and it is so balanced and helpful! Thank you so much!
Oh my, that looks delicious! And relatively easy. I might give it a go in a few weeks. Thanks Chelsea, loving your weekly videos. Great job!
I just made it yesterday. It’s AMAZING!!!!
that looks so good, thank you
Thank you for always sharing healthy and yummy food!! And encouraging balance - some convient foods as well as healthy whole foods
Yummy 😋 definitely trying this
I am giving this a go, thank you 🙏 looks great 👍
Looks soooo good! 😋
I realize that I do the same thing as you…I think you’re really getting in my head. Hihi in a good way. Thanks so much for all your advices. 😊
soooooo helpful!
I love lasagne and this looks delicious!
I’ve been hankering after lasagne for a few days so I’m definitely going to try this over Easter weekend ❤
Looks oh so good
Great video, Chelsea.☺️
Fantastic lasagna recipes and approach to building meals.... love it! Going to try this for sure.
Let me know how it goes!!
@@ChelseaMae I tried it this weekend! AMAZING!!! Great recipe. We loved it. Going to add this to the recipe rotation for sure.
Amazing ❤
I love this lasagna dish, it's a favorite. I get it, a variety of dishes are best. I make all the yummy healthy vegan recipes for my family. My problem is portion control! Waiting 20 minutes to have a second plate would probably help a lot!🥰
Add lemon to the ricotta. Its amazing
Looks delicious YUM…
Thank you
I just made some today. We were going to have company, but they couldn't make it at the last minute. So I have a refrigerator full of lasagna. Good thing hubby can take it to work tomorrow!
Oh yum!!!
I checked out some quick lasagna sheets and there was milk in them. So be wary of those sheets. I just use regular lasagna noodles and that'll cook just as well and even thicken it up a little bit from the starch in the noodles
I also think that a lot of meals are weight loss meals because whatever I make isn’t going to have near the salt/sugar/fat of a meal out.
This man will never convince me to to eat vegan lasagne, its vegetable lasagne for me thank you
hi,you are the best🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍👍👍👍👍👍
Most of us are not as active/tall/young as you, lovely Chelsea, so even though we've reached our desired weight, we still need to eat the same as we ate during the later weight loss stages. Our bodies still require a low cal "diet", so no "weekend binges", as you called them. I don't do cheat days and if I eat a little more at one meal, I eat less at the next or make sure I go for a walk. I am Italian and was brought up on pasta and lasagne, I love them, but I don't try to veganise them by buying vegan cheese, etc. My vegan lasagne would be made with great homemade tomato sauce (chopped tomatoes, onions, garlic and basil), sheets of lasagne and veggies (spinach, aubergines/eggplant, courgettes, broccoli, I might add mushrooms too). The processed lasagne sheets would be the treat, higher in calorie than the carbs I would normally eat, and possibly a trigger ingredient for me as I love anything pasta-like and I could easily overeat. And that's it, I would not add other higher fat ingredients like tofu, soya milk, cheese and also I don't use nutritional yeast. Another good herb to add might be dried oregano or any herb you fancy. I never cook with salt/veggie stock cube but I add them at table, in the case of lasagne I might add them to the tomato sauce at the cooking stage. I also don't like spending a lot of time creating recipes, using the food mixer, etc. I am glad you had a lovely family meal but this recipe is not for me. Tip: in the UK we can buy frozen crushed or chopped garlic, it's so much cheaper and easier than buying garlic cloves and it's been a game changer for me. Most supermarkets do it now.
yea no
Gaz Okley's lasagna recipe is so much better.
Vegans can get plenty of protein if they eat well. There's no reason to focus on protein.
I guess I just don’t understand it… Lasagna is made of pasta, meat, cheese, etc. you can’t make something out of other ingredients and call it a lasagna. If you’re against what lasagna is, don’t eat it. Create something else and give it its own name. It’s so weird to me.
You poor thing. Your world is so limited.
@@krkmr5979 lol, not sure what you mean by that… I’m definitely not limited, I eat the whole range of food items. It seems that veganism is very limiting… Especially where you can’t come up with your own names for food, lasagna is pasta, meat, sauce, etc., all I’m saying is just come up with a different name for vegan creations and if you actually want lasagna, eat lasagna lol !

I am so so confused by this comment. Are you meaning my microphone on my shoulder??
@@ChelseaMae Sorry mate, it was a poor joke...
Flippin Aussies!! 😂😂😂
Glad that it wasn't just me that went ...... "What??!!!" 😂
Looks delicious YUM…
