A CREATIVE PLANT-BASED TAKE ON THE TRADITIONAL. Lasagna qualifies as a favorite comfort food for many. Unfortunately though, its creamy richness leaves you loaded and clogged. Here’s a lighter version to ensure you can enjoy this comfort food over and over again, sans guilt and calorie overload. Layers of marinated eggplant and zucchini strips sandwiched with mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes, creamy pine nut cheese and basil pesto make a refreshing hearty raw meal.

This amazing pesto is not only light but actually good for you. Simply blitz hemp seeds, pine nuts and basil leaves in your high-speed blender with olive oil to make this vibrant green goodness to enjoy with raw pasta dishes too!

This yummy raw vegan lasagna makes for a great pot-luck dish to enjoy with family and friends, vegans and non-vegans alike!

TRY ONCE AND ENJOY OVER‘N OVER AGAIN!
