Zucchini Pesto Lasagna with Cashew Cream (Gluten Free/ Dairy Free/ Vegan)

One batch of: Basil Pesto and a batch Cashew Cream (click on the links to get the recipe)

1 medium size zucchini- cut thin into ribbons

1 large onion- sliced

1 large size carrot- julienne

1 large pepper- sliced

1 Tbsp. coconut oil or olive oil

1 tsp. dried basil

In a medium frying pan, add oil, onion, carrot, and pepper. Saute for approximately ten minutes on medium low heat, stirring frequently. Stir in dried basil and take pan off heat when vegetables are soft.

To assemble lasagna use a 9″ by 13″ baking dish.

Start with 1-2 tablespoons of prepared pesto spread all over the bottom of the dish.

Then a single layer or zucchini ribbons.

Followed by 1/3 of sauteed vegetables.

Then 1/3 of your cashew cream.

And 1/3 of your pesto. Repeat each step two more times, ending with pesto.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until zucchini is fork tender, but not mushy.

***I changed mine up a bit by not adding the pepper or frying the veggies. I also added some other veggies to my liking. Instead, of frying my garlic/onions/carrot I steamed them in a little bit of water topped with a lid for 10 minutes. I also didn't use cashews for the cream, I only had macadamia nuts in my fridge. 

Here is how I assembled everything...

I used my Titan peeler to thinly slice the zucchini, which acts as the noodle, chopped my garlic and onions, and used my other titan peeler to julienne the carrots. Added a layer of Basil Pesto that I made in my Vita-mix to the bottom of your baking dish, then a layer of zucchini noodle, topped with the steamed garlic/onion/carrots, then layered with my creamy macadamia sauce that I also made in my Vita-mix, as well as the basil pesto sauce, next a layer of kale, followed by zucchini noodles. Repeat to the end. Then at the very top I spread my sliced Early Girl Tomatoes all over.

Enjoy with a green salad. 

This lasagna is super good!

Epecially on the 2nd day after all the flavors soak in.

Yum :)
