Red Gold Veganized Lasagna with Meatless Meat Sauce
I have been on an Italian kick for the last few weeks and when I received an email from Red Gold Tomatoes asking if I'd like to create a lasagna using their products, I jumped on the opportunity. I perfected a veganized ricotta-inpsired cheese blend of tofu and "mozarella-style" shreds and knew I could whip up something that hit the spot and be filling, as well. They sent me information on Laura's Lean Beef, but I opted to use my own meatless version and substitute with pureed meatless meatballs instead. Here's a quick tip o' the hat to their latest campaign,
Again, a special thanks to Red Gold Tomatoes for sending the noodles and Red Gold products!
