  1. Cook lentils with salt until al dente (soft enough to be pressed with your fingers but not very soft that is smushed), rinse and drain.
  2. Slice zucchini thin with a mandolin or a sharp knife.
  3. Prepare vegetables: shred the carrots, cut the broccoli into laminates, cut the mushrooms and bell pepper.

  9. In an oven safe Pyrex, brush with a little bit of oil, add a layer of zucchini, tomato sauce, vegetables, drops of yogurt, parmesan cheese if desired, and a layer of raw spinach. Add a little bit of olive oil salt and pepper and repeat. Finish with a layer of zucchini on top, a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper, and parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • This lasagna can be served with salad.
  • You can use quinoa instead of lentils or use both at the same time.
  • I used shitake mushrooms for this recipe, but you can use baby bella, white, or portobello.
  • If you don’t have a mandolin, use your knife.
  • Bake your lasagna in a round, square or rectangle pyrex. Whatever is more convenient for you.
  • If you have zucchini and vegetables left over, you can make individual lasagnas and freeze them for another day.
