🍳 How to cook (4 servings):

Cooking Time: 40-45 minutesPreperation Time: 30 minutes

Preparation of Vegetables

Start by washing and finely chopping the bell pepper, carrot, onion, and celery. Sauté these vegetables in oil over medium heat until they're soft and slightly caramelized. Adding a pinch of salt can help speed up the process.

Cooking Lentils

While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the lentils according to the package instructions until they're tender. Drain any excess water once they're cooked.

Assembling the Lasagna

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Begin assembling the lasagna by spreading a thin layer of tomato sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Follow this with a layer of lasagna sheets. Spread a layer of the sautéed vegetables and lentils over the sheets, then add another layer of tomato sauce. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used up, finishing with a final layer of lasagna sheets.

Preparing Soy Milk Mixture

In a small bowl, mix the soy milk with a pinch of basil and any other desired seasonings until well combined. Pour this mixture over the top layer of lasagna sheets, ensuring it covers the surface evenly.

Baking

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbly.

Serving

Allow the lasagna to cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an extra touch of flavor.
