Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Arrange eggplant, zucchini and onions on the parchment paper and brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Season with ¼ teaspoon of salt. Roast vegetables for 20 minutes, or until tender but not mushy. Remove vegetables from the oven and set aside to cool. Lower oven temperature to 375 degrees.
Add the pine nuts to a mini food processor and pulse into “crumbs”. Set pine nut “crumbs” aside.
In a high speed blender, add the egg, water, garlic and cashews. Process on high speed until mixture is smooth and creamy. Set cashew cream aside.
Assemble the lasagna in a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish in the following order:

1 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of the dish
Arrange 3 noodles on top of the sauce
Spread ½ cup of marinara sauce over the noodles
Arrange ½ of the roasted vegetables on top of the sauce
Spread ½ of the cashew cream on top of the vegetables
Arrange all of the tofu on top of the vegetables
Spread ½ cup of marinara sauce on top of the tofu
Arrange 3 noodles on top of the sauce
Spread the remaining cashew cream on top of the roasted vegetables
Arrange the remaining 3 noodles on top of the cashew cream
Pour the remaining 1 cup of marinara sauce on top of the noodles
Scatter the pine nut “crumbs” over the top of everything

Bake lasagna, uncovered, for 50 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest for at least 15 minutes so that the juices can settle back down. Serve warm. (Note: Leftovers can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Lasagna also freezes beautifully.)
