Heres my recipe for the most indulgent, cheesy vegan lasagne ever –
#VEGAN100 –
Christmas book –
In todays video I show you how to make #Lasagne !!!
My Lasagne recipe is probably the best ever..in my opinion. Rich, creamy, cheesy & indulgent. My vegan lasagne Is very much inspired by a traditional lasagnes which I used to make a lot before going vegan. Making a rich vegan ragu & creamy vegan béchamel sauce its actually better than the lasagne's I used to make before going vegan. You must try it!! big love @gazoakley

Making lasagna in a white shirt…now that’s what I call living on the edge 😅
LOL
@Scott Blackson 🤣 have fun with low t
People come on now focus on the recipe not on his shirt. This is free lesson. I want to see some good comment on his recipe. What an amazing cook he is. Going to try this recipe for sure.
Are you a virgo/tauro? xD
Hahaha!
i swear to god no one gets more butt-hurt about making traditionally non-vegan foods into vegan versions than Italians. like i’ve never found a vegan carbonara recipe that wasn’t riddled with people complaining that it “wasn’t real carbonara!” yeah… that’s the point… it’s vegan….
@stephanie santos Oh how I would have loved to but I’m actually Zimbabwean and have no idea how to make vegan carbonara.
@Miss Drey okay right the point in saying that is that there is literally no way to make it “authentic” because authentically it requires eggs, cheese, and meat. there is no way to authentically make it without those ingredients, and my original post was to say that anyone who would get butt hurt seeing a video titled “vegan ______” and be upset that it isn’t authentic… is kind of dumb… because the authentic dish is not vegan
@stephanie santos Did you understand my comment? I never said anything about authenticity. I said it’s important to learn about their food culture and tradition before you take from it because it’s more than just a cuisine to them. Furthermore, what puts you in a position to invalidate how Italians feel about THEIR food and THEIR culture??? The moment you mention Italy, the first thing people think of all over the world, is pizza and pasta; clearly food is a huge part of their culture and identity; not to mention food tourism is probably a large portion of their GDP. It would not kill you to have a conversation with them to understand why they feel upset about veganising their classics. Also, Italian cuisine already has classic recipes that are vegetarian and vegan-friendly; why aren’t those being sensationalised?
Just made this for dinner and wow it was incredible. There are no words to explain just how good this was, and the recipe was easy to follow and put together. The best dish i have made in a long LONG time. My boyfriend had 4 portions !
French blue8 really appreciate the effort you dedicated to that response.
Sérgio Costa Hey! I know this comment was a while ago, but I made a tofu ricotta once and added it to this recipe and it made it sooo good. I used Lauren Toyota’s tofu ricotta recipe from Hot For Food! It was great! This is still my favorite lasagna recipe
Did you use TVP?
I just made this today! Same! Soooo good. I mentioned the fact it was vegan again, and my 14-year old son said, ” I forgot it was vegan.” Says it all right there!!!
@2 Minute Topics hi, my mother is from the south and in her family they always used mozzarella (no besciamella). But I know some napolitan people ( in the south as well) and they make lasagne only with beshamel, without mozzarella. I think that in the Bologna region you can easily find lasagne with green pasta!
I’ve found that brown lentils work well as a great alternative to meat or meat substitutes. They’re quite peppery too so add a lovely texture and taste 💕
@Alex – I soak them overnight as this makes them lovely and tender 💕
Ima def give it a try!
yuckie lentils
Definitely! I used lentils in my last lasagne and I used them as a meat substitute in the vegan bolognese recipe I’ve recently posted on youtube! Lentils are so versatile & they soak up flavour extremely well😋
Making lentils for the first time and I’m so excited to use it in my lasagna!
Yo, did you see those noodle breaking skills.
Everytime I try to snap it a certain size I get scattered pieces.
Amie Sundy me too! Keep those for lasagne soup!
@Ostara sometimes I make one pot lasagna with them or if I just have a few I just stick them in random places on the lasagna 😉
@Amie Sundy Lasagne jigsaw 🧩
Modern cooking is vegan/plant based cooking. And it is often a fusion of styles and approaches. Gaz is at the forefront. ✊
I’ve been vegan for 4 years and wow, your lasagna just blew my mind. I’m Italian, from nearby Bologna, where lasagna originally comes from, and I can tell you that yours looks just like the one my grannies make! I’m so going to give it a try soon, when it’s more wintery. You’re truly talented Gaz, keep it up!
@Paola Rosichetti look no one is forcing you to eat “vegan”. Just let people enjoy veganise version of their favourite food. I hate pineapple on pizza but some people loves it. I can’t force them to stop having it this way. And you can’t speak for all Italian grandma. I have Italian family and they love my plant based food.
@BerryCoco Asmr I also love vegan versions!! But the real lasagna is not like that! It was just an opinion and a joke 😊 everyone eats as they prefer. I am forcing nobody to eat like me. Have a good day (or night)
@Paola Rosichetti Didn’t mean my comment as an attack just that way too often people can be quite defensive when it comes to traditional food. Been looking for a good “vegan” lasagna recipe. Ended up here, thought i might give it a try. 10am at my place. Have a good day as well 🙂
@BerryCoco Asmr don’t worry sweetie… I understand your comment.. I love food, every food.. But balanced. 😘😘😘
I’m Italian, not vegan (but I rarely eat meat.. For example if I’m invited to someone’s dinner), I hate cheese and milk, so I love to try different recipes for the sam dishes.
I know it could be criticized, but I also know that every regions here has its own way to do it.
So if you don’t want to change a lot of things, you can stick to a traditional recipe and then just substitute something (for example, bechamel with soy milk). I love lasagne with artichokes, or with red letuce!
I understand that hearing someone complaining about food could be annoying. On the other hand, everyone should be more kind about cultures and personal tastes, even if they’re defending the traditional version of a recipe!
I love how you meantioned the recycling of the can. No cooking i have seen has EVER emphasized recycling.
Recycling tho, isn’t all that great sometimes
@Mikey Stevenson true, but it is at least nice to try
So important!
Jamie oliver did
@Das K it does matter but if you were trying to say that it’s not nearly enough you’re right. Low/Zero waste lifestyle is the solution tho :)))
I’m making a vegan lasagna for my cousin’s 18th birthday tomorrow. I will keep you guys posted 🙂
(it’s not gonna be as good as Gaz make it. I’m only 15 😂)
Update: I made it and it’s SOOOO good. Best lasagna I’ve ever had😍😋
wow pow22 I’ve only ever made lasagne with uncooked sheets… found out Americans have two kinds, cooked & uncooked and sometimes they precook the uncooked ones. Here the heat from the ‘meat’ mixture and the heat from the bechamel and the layering which includes more heat softens, then we have it in the oven for about 45mins (at least the recipe we have always used). Never had crunchy uncooked sheets in the end despite not pre-softening them
Ok….
Now try real lasagna
@Pangolin what a pointless comment
Same I’m 15 Im making this for christmas😋
@wow pow22 in America stores sell “oven ready” lasagna sheets, I think the only difference is the amount of moisture left in them. Not sure if they’re available elsewhere
He’s so cute when he stutters
And even if he doesn’t!
Heh
Gaz i’ve made this recipe almost 10 times now! My omnivore parents and boyfriend LOVED it and my veggie friends loved it too! Thank you so much for helping me show them how tasty vegan food can be! 💕🌱
@Anti – Ethnic Cleansing nonono there is none! I just chop and dehydrate the mushrooms in a frying pan ahaha
@Inês Costa
How do you dehydrate anything in a frying pan? That takes a dehydration machine. You mean you just sautée them?
@Anti – Ethnic Cleansing yess!! Once they start releasing their water then ypur lasagna wont be so watery in the oven
Hi 🙂 do you find the vegan cheese is essential?
@Alice nop not at all. Never used it and love it the way it turns out everytime!
In Australia we say Eggplant and Zucchini 😅
Evan490BC smh you’re so wrong
Yes, copy the Yanks.
Same in the US
In Germany we say Aubergine and Zucchini 😂
Here, it’s brinjal
Some people. I can’t believe that he even had to explain the carbonara thing 😂
Didn’t some one have to teach you at somepoint? Even if you taught it to yourself.
Am I Cool Yet? I think she’s referring to how Italians complain about recipes not being traditional all the time. He had to explain its a vegan version to prevent Italian elitists from commenting.
I have a lot of Italian friends at uni and the easiest way to trigger them is saying things like “Carbonara, you mean that pasta dish that has loads of cream in it?” I can’t help but troll them.
And I can’t believe that you don’t get the complaints. It’s not Carbonara. He shouldn’t call it Carbonara. There is no vegan or even vegetarian Carbonara.
I suppose I’ll start a vegan cooking channel with real dairy and eggs. If anyone complaints about it not being vegan, I’ll just refer to this discussion. It’s my interpretation of vegan dishes, and I like dairy, so I’ll just add it.
This comment is coming from an Italian person (yes, I saw this video many months after it was released) that’s approaching vegan diet.
I can say I’m not a typical Italian if for typical Italian you necessarily think about those Italian cuisine traditionalists that always complain about recipes not being right. However, who decides what’s a typical Italian? I most certainly love my country’s traditions but I’m 100% aware that cooking involves fantasy and creativity so I am fine with a vegetarian carbonara and vegan lasagne (it’s plural – lasagne, not lasagna. I’m most concerned about the wrong use of the grammar than about the ingredients list). The thing is: it’s very useful to call them that way because people recognize those names so of course if you make pasta with, let’s say, tempeh instead of bacon (guanciale), with a egg substitute and nutritional yeast instead of pecorino cheese that is not a pasta alla carbonara, but that’s the whole point: it’s a vegan version of the least vegan Italian pasta dish so of course you have to swap everything. That makes perfect sense and if you’re trying to recreate the same flavors and textures of the original recipe you might as well just call it carbonara. I think it’s more a matter of nomenclature than anything else. Is it a carbonara if it doesnt have the only 3 ingredients that carbonara requires? No. Is it important that we call it differently if the aim is to recreate that dish in a vegan version? No.
So people should just chill. All people I mean. Italian fanatics and whoever complains about them.
I also want to point out that lasagne is the type of pasta not necessarily the ingredients you put in and we make all sorts of lasagne. Ever tried with pumpkin and mushrooms? Or with radicchio? Or with pesto? (Just naming a few that can easily be “veganized” but there’s many more). So yeah.. nomenclature
Who else wants to see a collaboration between Avant-garde vegan and Rachel Ama? ✋🏽✋🏽✋🏽✋🏽✋🏽 Hands up!
Yessssss
Already happened
Shane Hodgson it was commented a month ago calm down
@Gemma Johnson the intent of my comment was to inform the original poster that they could go search for a video with the content that they wanted to see. I was quite calm when I wrote the comment.
why is this man so sweet and calming
i decided to go vegan not that long ago and I was so sad about not being able to eat my favourite dish anymore! so the first thing I did was look for a vegan lasagne recipe and found this. I tried it today and it is SOOO GOOD! I am so happy I can still enjoy my favourite dish! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for going vegan
“Doesn’t need to be perfect”
*makes the most perfectly layered lasagne*
Dear lord, if I found me a good vegan man who could cook like this I’d be set for life 😆
😅😅‼️
@Dr. Joachim Werner and you just shared your insecurity with the world by projecting it into other men 👍
Not difficult at all
Learn to cook, you’re the woman. Now make me a sandwich
Same 😂
My husband’s in the military and he’s been in the desert for a month and a half. He comes home tomorrow and I’m surprising him with this meal when he gets home. I’m so excited to make this, thanks boss!!
I made this the night before last exactly as called for EXCEPT using mushroom mince in place of the vegan mince (which would be BEYOND crumbles stateside). I used a vegan boulonnaise recipe using mushrooms on line and adapted it for the vegan mince. It required preparing a day advance to slow-cook the mushrooms. I found a mandolin slicer saved time on slicing. Overall, the lasagna was very tasty and silky-textured. I recommend using a baking pan at least three or more inches deep.
