The Best and Easy Delicious Meatless Lasagna Roll-ups

If you love the classic lasagna, you will most definitely enjoy this easy meatless, dairy-free lasagna roll-ups. They make the perfect meal prep because it re-heats well and is even better the next day. This dish is so comforting and one of my family’s most requested meals this time of year.

Lasagna Roll-ups:

Meatless: these lasagna roll-ups are “beefy” from the impossible meat grounds. They taste like real meat with no aftertaste like other brands.

Marinara sauce: I opted for store-bought marinara sauce. You can make your own sauce, but store-bought is the way to go for easy meal prep. 

Lasagna pasta: I know there are many options with lasagna pasta nowadays, but we want the regular long lasagna pasta here. It is the perfect vessel to hold up all the filling, and it makes easy roll-ups.

Tofu Ricotta: I made this dairy-free tofu ricotta (Full recipe below). It sounds weird to some, but believe me, it tastes AMAZING! I used extra firm tofu, and I added spinach for added greens.

Cheese: I used dairy-free shredded mozzarella cheese, which melted like real cheese. 

Seasoning: I used minimal seasoning, but a little goes a long way with this recipe. 

Ingredients:

-Lasagna pasta

-Marinara sauce

-Onions

Tofu Ricotta:
