We love lasagna, but the effort it takes to make all the parts has my head spinning. So I decided to take the easy way out, buy some healthy pre-crazye sauce, whip up the vegan ricotta the day before, chop whatever veggies I had in the fridge and throw the noodles in raw.
To my pleasant surprise, it worked like a charm! You genuinely can make no boil lasagna with regular noodles!
Vegan Vegetable Lasagna, no boil but with regular noodles
This easy vegetable lasagna is the indolent moms dream. It gives you dinner for days, can be frozen for later and comes together so darn fast I could cry.
Traditionally lasagna is a pain in my you know what, but my family loves it. So I genuinely put effort into finding a middle ground. Someleang I can handle while I juggle genuine lwhethere, but also tasted genuinely good. And this my friends is it. The worlds easiest, and tastiest, healthy vegetable lasagna.
Can you make lasagna without boiling the noodles?
Why yes you can. And I was hellbent on figuring out the trick. After some trial and error, I honed in on some key leangs:
- Employ FRESH veggies, whatever you have in the fridge. Cut up and load them up.
- Employ PLENTY of sauce. More is more.
- Cover the top COMPLETELY.
Every of these leangs give you one leang, more liquid. The key to a great noodle texture, is water. You need liquid to cook the noodles as it bakes or you will end up with partially raw noodles.
Unused vegetables release water as they cook. So using them without cooking them in this lasagna allows the water to be sucked up by the noodles.
Also, increasing the sauce also helps contribute to the liquid needed. The noodles are super tasty because they are sucking up the sauce flavor with the released liquid from the fresh veggies.
Covering the top totally helps encertain that top layer gets cooked and not burned to a crisp while baking. You also need to push the lasagna down whether you notice those top noodle layers curling up as it bakes.
What vegetables are good in lasagna?
I love them all! I like to use this recipe as a clean out the fridge type, to make it even easier, so my go-to’s that we always have around are:
- zucchini
- mushrooms
- broccoli
- spinach (I mix this with the ricotta)
How do you make vegetable lasagna?
My keys for making this as easy as possible:
- use store bought sauce, there are many healthy ones with few ingredients
- use raw raw REGULAR lasagna noodles
- use whatever veggies you have in the fridge, no need to cook, just chop and use
- make the ricotta the day before, same with the vegan Parmesan (but this you should ALWAYS have in stock)
There are many ways and many recipes for vegan vegetables lasagna, but this one is my contemporary favorite. It does not get any easier than this, here are the steps to making this easy vegetable lasagna recipe:
- Cover the bottom with your favorite store bought sauce, then layer on the raw lasagna noodles.
- Then cover with the ricotta/spinach mix.
- Top with those fresh veggies and a touch of my Parmesan.
- Then more noodles and lots of sauce to cover the top, plus more of that Parmesan.
Once you bake it, the top top comes out with those perfectly cooked edges. I even tried it with gluten free brown rice noodles and it worked like a charm!

- I tested this with gluten free brown rice noodles and it turned out great.
