This recipe celebrates culinary health hacks to increase your nutrient density and spare you the blood sugar rollercoaster from using regular noodles made with refined grains. Nutritional yeast is deactivated yeast. It has a nutty, and “cheese – like” flavor and is a great source of B vitamins. For those who are sensitive to the proteins or sugars in dairy, this is a great alternative to become familiar with. Some people find they can better tolerate goat cheese over dairy so a little goat cheese is used here to add a touch of creaminess. Omit it if you rather make this a dairy free meal.

Directions

To make the cashew cheese, add all the ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
For the lasagna, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Slice each zucchini into 1⁄8-inch thick slices. Then, sprinkle each slice with a generous amount of salt. Set aside for 20 minutes to dehydrate. Pat with paper towels to soak up excess water from zucchini.
Spread a few tablespoons of tomato sauce on the bottom of a sheet pan or casserole dish. Lay zucchini slices side-by-side on the bottom of the dish.
Top the zucchini with about 1/2 cup sauce and 1/4 cup cashew cheese. Then, place a layer of greens on top and sprinkle with basil.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients, ending with a final layer of sauce and remaining cheese.
Garnish with extra basil, and the goat cheese. 8. Bake, covered, for 25 minutes and then continue uncovered for 20 minutes or
until the top of the lasagna is golden brown.
Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before eating. Finish with olive oil and fresh parsley.
