- 3 tbsp plant-based butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3 cups plant-based milk
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan-style plant-based cheese, shredded
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- A pinch of nutmeg
Lasagna
- 12 lasagna noodles (no-boil or traditional boiled)
- 1 1/2 cups plant-based cheese, shredded
- 2 cups fresh or frozen spinach, squeezed of excess water
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
Seasonings & Optional Add-ins

- Optional: fresh basil, parsley, or oregano (for herb freshness)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the boneless chicken breasts lightly with salt and black pepper. Sauté them in 1 tablespoon of plant-based butter over medium heat until cooked through and golden brown. Once done, shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces for layering.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: In a saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of plant-based butter over medium heat. Whisk in all-purpose flour and cook for about a minute until a smooth paste forms. Gradually add the plant-based milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. When the sauce thickens, stir in minced garlic, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), Parmesan-style plant-based cheese, salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Remove from heat once creamy and luscious.
- Cook the Lasagna Noodles: If using traditional noodles, boil according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Assemble the Lasagna Layers: Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Add a layer of noodles, followed by shredded chicken, a handful of spinach, more Alfredo sauce, and a sprinkle of plant-based cheese. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous top layer of sauce and cheese.
- Bake to Perfection: Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 30 minutes. Remove foil during the last 10 minutes to allow the plant-based cheese to melt and turn golden. Let cool 10-15 minutes before slicing to set the layers.
Notes
- Slowly add plant-based milk while whisking to ensure a smooth, lump-free Alfredo sauce.
- Squeeze excess moisture from spinach or vegetables to avoid watery lasagna.
- Spread ingredients evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Allow the lasagna to rest 10-15 minutes after baking to set properly.
- Use plant-based cheese that melts well for a creamy finish.
