My husband and I are still in shock about it.

Like a really good simple lasagna that you would get in Little Italy in New York. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. I wasn’t willing to buy $30 worth of macadamia nuts for this recipe, so I used 1/2 macadamia and 1/2 cashew pieces. And secondly, the macadamia nuts at my store were $10 per cup …. Firstly, I’m Italian and I like my simple plant based marinara recipe better than anything in a jar, so I made that. I saw this recipe and thought “I’m making that tonight.” I usually try to make new recipes EXACTLY as posted the first time, but here I did make 2 changes. I tend to avoid them because the recipes are usually SO complex and SO many ingredients. Plus, it turns out all fluffy and cheesy and green from fresh basil. Have you guys tried macadamia nut ‘cheese’ yet? You know how I love my tofu ricotta, but this macadamia version is ridiculously easy (no soaking required!) and very close in flavor and texture to the real thing! What sets this 8-ingredient lasagna apart from the rest is two things: Veggie ‘noodles’ and a brand new-to-me vegan ‘ricotta cheese.’

( source)īut it wasn’t until the 16th century that tomato-based versions were recorded that more closely resembles today’s lasagna. And still others place its origin in England or Italy in the 14th century, where cookbooks describe the concept of layering cheese and pasta in a dish and baking it. Others claim it resembles a Roman dish recorded in a cookbook in the 1st century AD. Some say the concept originated in ancient Greece where layered dough sheets (called laganon) were cut into strips and baked. Turns out, its origin history is more complicated! Perhaps like many of you, we were under the impression that lasagna originated in Italy.
