TVP Lasagna 
Serves 6-8
Total Time: 55 minutes

This Vegan TVP Lasagna is the ultimate plant-based comfort food, hearty, cheesy, and full of flavor. TVP creates a meaty texture, while creamy tofu “cheeze” and a dairy-free parmesan bring rich, cheesy layers without the dairy.

Perfect for family dinners or meal prep, this lasagna is customizable with nut-free and low FODMAP swaps. It’s an easy, satisfying recipe that proves vegan lasagna can be just as delicious as the classic.
