Ingredients

Protein

  • Cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • Smoked turkey bacon, cooked and chopped into bite-sized pieces

Pasta

  • Lasagna noodles, cooked al dente

Cheese and Dairy Alternatives

  • Plant-based cheese, shredded
  • Plant-based heavy cream substitute (creamy liquid)

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • Garlic, minced
  • Onions, chopped
  • Spinach or kale, fresh

Seasonings and Sauces

  • Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Natural gelling agent
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Nutmeg, a sprinkle
  • Fresh thyme, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Cook the lasagna noodles until al dente, then drain and set aside. Shred the cooked chicken breast. Cook the smoked turkey bacon until crisp and chop into bite-sized pieces. In a pan, sauté garlic and onions with a splash of olive oil until fragrant and translucent.
  2. Make the Creamy Sauce: In the same pan, add the plant-based creamy liquid and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Stir in the natural gelling agent until the sauce thickens to a luscious consistency. Season with salt, pepper, and a hint of nutmeg for warmth.
  3. Layer Your Lasagna: In a large baking dish, start with a thin layer of sauce to prevent sticking. Lay down the noodles, then spread shredded chicken, smoked turkey bacon, and greens such as spinach or kale. Pour more creamy sauce and sprinkle generously with plant-based cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with plant-based cheese on top for a golden crust.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to brown the top beautifully. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the flavors to meld perfectly.

Notes

  • Layer evenly to ensure balanced flavors and texture in every bite.
  • Do not skip the resting time; it helps the lasagna set and slice cleanly without falling apart.
  • Use fresh herbs like thyme or parsley to brighten the creamy richness.
  • Add greens such as spinach or kale right before layering to keep them vibrant and fresh.
  • Cook noodles slightly underdone if baking longer to avoid mushy layers.
