Ingredients
Pasta & Sauce
❏ One package Organic Lasagna Noodles
❏ ½ tsp avocado oil (for the water)
❏ Large pot of boiling water
❏ One 25 oz jar of Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce (We use Organic Bello Tomato Basil)
Spinach Filling
❏ 5 oz spinach
❏ ½ cup raw cashews (soaked for at least 4 hours)
❏ Water (as needed)
❏ 1 tsp salt + more to taste
Sweet Potato Filling
❏ 1 large sweet potato
❏ 3-4 large carrots
❏ ½ cup raw cashews (soaked for at least 4 hours)
❏ 1 tsp salt + more to taste
Instructions
1. Bring 2 pots of water to a boil: one small for the spinach filling, one medium for the sweet potato filling.
2. While the water is heating up, peel and chop the sweet potato and carrots into cubes no larger than the size of a grape (the smaller you cut them, the faster they’ll cook).
3. Wash the spinach and set it aside.
4. Once the water has come to a boil, put in the sweet potato and carrots together and the spinach alone.
5. Only allow the spinach to soak in the water for about 30 seconds before draining the water and putting the blanched spinach in the food processor with ½ cup of the raw cashews. Add salt to taste, add water as needed, and then set aside. Your first filling is done! Place into a bowl and rinse food processor.
6. While the sweet potatoes and carrots are cooking, start a third pot of water boiling for the lasagna. Once the water has come to a boil, add in avocado oil along with the package of pasta. Follow directions on package for cooking time.
7. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
8. Once the sweet potatoes and carrots are soft enough for a fork to pass through them easily, drain the water and rinse them with cold water. Place them in the food processor with the other ½ cup of cashews along with salt to taste and water as needed. Your second filling is done!
9. Once the lasagna noodles are cooked, drain the water and set them aside.
10. In a 3-quart glass baking dish, put a layer of pasta sauce on the bottom of the pan. Then place one layer of noodles. Place a layer of the sweet potato filling followed by a layer of pasta sauce and then place the second layer of noodles. Place all of the spinach filling as a layer and then place the third layer of noodles. Place a layer of the sweet potato filling followed by a layer of pasta sauce and then place the fourth layer of noodles. Place your final layer of sweet potato filling and sauce followed by the last layer of noodles. On top, make sure to cover the entire last layer of noodles with the pasta sauce so that the noodles absorb the sauce (otherwise the entire top layer will be crunchy).
11. Place in the oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until it starts to bubble.
12. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
