VEGGIE LOADED VEGAN LASAGNE
I absolutely love lasagne, it was the food I always wanted my mum to make and she would only ever make it on my birthday.
But now I'm not a huge fan of all the wheat and dairy so this tasty go to substitute is my Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan Friendly Version.
If you don’t have an issue with gluten or dairy you could go ahead and add normal lasagne sheets and your own cheesy sauce and use our veggie loaded goodness sauce.
