Ingredients
FOR THE FILLING
- 8 oz vegan ricotta*
- 4 oz pumpkin puree
- 4 tbsp fresh basil chopped
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp pepper
FOR THE SAUCE
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 2 cloves garlic diced
- 1 shallot diced
- 3 fresh sage leaves diced
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary diced
- 12 oz non-dairy milk unsweetened, I used soy
- 8 oz vegan broth**
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp vegan cream cheese
- 1/2 lemon juiced, optional
FOR THE LASAGNA
- 10 lasagna noodles
- fresh basil, parsley, sage for topping
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook until al dente. You don't want to over cook them since they will finish cooking in the oven. Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water. Lay cool noodles on a clean kitchen towel until you are ready to use them.
- While the noodles are cooking, prepare the filling. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
- After draining the noodles, place the same pot back on the stove over medium heat. Add the butter, garlic, shallot, sage, rosemary and a pinch of salt & pepper to the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes. Add the milk, broth and flour. Whisk until smooth and bring to a boil.
- Lower heat and add cream cheese. Whisk until smooth and allow to cook until slightly thickened. Taste and add lemon juice if it needs acidity. Turn the heat off.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Add 1 cup of sauce to the bottom of a casserole dish (mine is 9"x12"). Add 2 tbsp of filling to each lasagna noodle - spreading it along the whole noodle. Roll them up and place them in the casserole dish.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the noodles (it will seem watery, but it will continue to thicken in the oven). Place in the oven (uncovered) for 25 minutes. Turn oven to broil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Top with your favorite fresh herbs and serve. Be sure to to scoop up extra sauce from the bottom of the pan and pour it over the rolls once plated.

Notes
*You can buy this pre-made or make my Vegan Tofu Ricotta.
**I used vegan chicken broth. You can get this at Whole Foods or online, here. You can also swap it for your favorite broth.
TO MAKE AHEAD OF TIME: Prep the casserole completely, but do not bake it. Allow it to cool completely then cover and place it in the fridge or freezer. If reheating thawed, then follow the baking instructions as written. If reheating from frozen, then bake covered at 375 degree for 45-60 minutes (or until heated through), followed by a couple minutes under the broiler uncovered.
