Vegan Lasagna (Gluten Free)

A guilt free super moist, healthy, Vegan Lasagna that is also gluten free! So much goodness and highly addictive. To quote my son "Mum, this is the best!!!" He didn't mind at all that there was no meat in it and went for seconds.
This vegan lasagna recipe is made with an easy gluten free bechamel sauce that makes it so creamy and is as close as it gets in taste to traditional lasagna.

1. In a mixing bowl, combine mushroom, onion, olive oil, basil, tomato past, tomato, salt & pepper. Mix well together.
2. Prepare baking tray(s) by spraying with oil (I used 2 x 22cm baking trays)

5. Layer bachemal sauce
6. Layer mushroom mixture
7. Sprinkle layer of plant based cheese (evenly spread)
8. Repeat layering until baking dish reaches just under the top
9. Coat top layer with bachemal sauce and sprinkle with plant based cheese
10. Cover with foil
11. Place in middle of oven and bake for approx 50minutes
12. Lasagna is cooked once you can piece a fork through, once this is done, remove foil cover and brown top layer using grill function for approx 4-5 minutes or until brown
