Ingredients
  

For the Cheese Mixture
  • 16 oz Ricotta Cheese Provides creaminess and structure; substitute with blended full-fat cottage cheese for a similar texture.
  • 1 large Egg Binds the ricotta mixture together; consider a flaxseed egg or commercial egg replacers for an egg-free version.
  • 2.5 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Adds gooeyness and flavor; replace with vegan mozzarella for a dairy-free option.
  • 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese Enhances flavor depth; opt for vegan cheese if needed.
  • 0.25 cup Fresh Parsley Brings freshness and color; can be substituted with fresh basil or oregano.
  • 0.25 tsp Garlic Powder Adds an aromatic element; use fresh minced garlic for a more robust flavor.
  • Fine Sea Salt Essential seasonings to enhance flavors; adjust to taste.
  • Black Pepper Essential seasonings to enhance flavors; adjust to taste.
For the Lasagna Layers
  • 9 oz Dry Lasagna Sheets Forms the base layers; use gluten-free sheets to accommodate dietary preferences.
  • 35 oz Marinara Sauce Provides moisture and flavor between layers; feel free to use any store-bought or homemade sauce.
Optional Topping
