Recipe Notes
 I mentioned that normal lasagna is usually made with ricotta cheese. Vegans can sub in a vegan ricotta cheese or tofu.
This is an ‘easy’ recipe so I am suggesting that you use a premade pasta sauce.
Vegans can use a vegan pasta sauce. Or, you can make your own pasta sauce.Lastly, you have options for the lasagna noodles that you use in this recipe.
I am including whole wheat lasagna noodles in the ingredient list. However, you are welcome to use any kind of lasagna noodle including vegan lasagna or gluten free lasagna.originally posted:
