You have probably has lasagna before and maybe also a vegetarian lasagna. But have you ever tried mushroom lasagna? If not, it is about time. We have just discovered it here at Dryk and now we won’t forget it. It might be the best vegetarian lasagna, we have ever had.
Recipe for mushroom lasagna
This mushroom lasagna is probably almost like you know a lasagna. With lasagna sheets, filling and a bechamel sauce. We have used fresh lasagna sheets that don’t need as much time in the oven. The filling consists of lots of mushrooms, fresh spinach, garlic, lemon zest and fresh tarragon. Especially the latter really gives a great, mail flavour from the delicious herb that can be used for so much more than just bearnaise.
The bechamel sauce is of course homemade with our pea milk, and it is just as good as a classic one made from cows milk. Just down get frightened about making it yourself because it is really easy to make your own bechamel. Of course we have topped it all with cheese, and here you can choose if you are going with the vegan cheese or not.
Vegetarian lasagne with a vegan option
Even though this is a vegetarian lasagna, with a vegan option, you won’t miss the classic lasagna or go to bed hungry and unsatisfied. The recipe is tested and very much approved by meat eaters and vegetarians. It is creamy, full of flavour and contains all of the good things from the classic. I might think that is has become a new favorite here at our place.
Tips for your mushroom lasagna:
- If you are not a big tarragon fan, you can use other herbs like parsley, dill or chervil.
- When it comes to mushrooms, you can use whatever is in season.
- If you have other vegetables at home that needs to be used, just fry it on a pan and put it in the lasagna. It could be cabbage, zucchini, tomatoes or similar.
- Du kan also use our oat drink if you don’t have our pea drink.
- This lasagna is also great next day so you can easily make a big portion.
