Vegan mushroom lasagna
Mushroom sauce lasagna is the perfect main course for the holiday season. Creamy and flavorful, it will surprise the whole family, who will be asking for seconds!
Made with Chopped tomatoes
The Mutti Chopped Tomatoes maintains all the freshness of freshly-harvested tomatoes. It’s a unique product because it is chopped especially finely for an abundance of tomato pieces in every bite and a rich, consistent texture. Mutti Polpa brings together the tomato juice and its most pulpy part, a feature which makes it ideally suited for long cooking times even at high temperatures, like in the oven. Alternatively, it captures the fresh flavour of perfectly ripe tomatoes so well that it can be used straight from the tin in dishes like bruschetta or salsas. It is also ideal for homemade pizza, for recipes with meat, vegetables and legumes and to dress fresh durum wheat pasta or egg pasta

Vegan mushroom lasagna: Method
- Clean the mushrooms thoroughly using a clean cloth (avoid rinsing them with water).
- Slice and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan, then add the unpeeled garlic cloves and let them brown for a couple of minutes to infuse the oil.
- Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until all their water has evaporated.
- Once the mushrooms are dry, add the Mutti Finely Chopped Tomatoes. Simmer the sauce over low heat for 10-15 minutes.
- When the sauce is ready, season it with salt.
- For the Vegan Béchamel: In a saucepan, combine the flour and olive oil. Heat while stirring continuously with a whisk.
- Once the mixture begins to bubble, slowly add the soy milk, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil and cook until the sauce thickens (about 5 minutes).
- Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Let it cool completely before assembling the lasagna.
- Now you can assemble the lasagna. Start by spreading a thin layer of béchamel on the bottom of the baking dish, then layer as follows: lasagna sheet, mushroom sauce, and béchamel. Repeat this process until you have five layers.
- Bake in a preheated static oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30-35 minutes.
- Once done, let the lasagna cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
