ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Cottage cheese offers similar texture with fewer calories.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Provolone can be more affordable while still melting well.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Grana padano is a good substitute that is often less expensive.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often cheaper and works well for sautéing.

1

In a saucepan, add the olive oil and yellow onions. Saute until translucent.

2

Add the oyster mushroom and toss around to combine.

3

Continue sauteing until caramelized, roughly 12-15 minutes.

4

Add the white wine and deglaze, reducing until syrupy, roughly for 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.

5

Preheat the oven to 360°F.

6

In a bowl, add the green cabbage, olive oil, and season with salt & ground pepper to taste. Toss to combine.

7

Spread the strips out onto a baking pan and roast for roughly 15 minutes until caramelized around the edges. Once roasted, add to the mushrooms and toss to combine. Set aside.

8

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the yellow onions and garlic and saute until translucent.

9

Add the flour and roast until lightly caramelized for roughly 10 minutes.

10

Add the ground nutmeg, milk, mozzarella cheese, Monterey jack, and parmesan cheese. Whisk to combine and bring to a simmer until the sauce has thickened, for roughly 15 minutes. Season with salt & ground black pepper to taste.

11

Reserve a cup of bechamel. Pour the rest over the mixture of mushrooms & cabbage and toss to combine.

12

Spread plain bechamel across the baking casserole. Place a layer of lasagna sheets across the sauce.

13

Spread a generous layer of mushroom mixture on top of the pasta. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, Monterey jack, and parmesan cheese on top.

14

Repeat until you have used up all the sauce, pasta fillings, and cheese. Cover with foil and bake in the oven.

15

Once baked, remove the foil & discard. Bring the temperature of the oven up to broil and gratinate the lasagna until the top is golden for 7 minutes.

16

Serve with marinara sauce and garnish with parmesan cheese and parsley.
