Mushroom and Lentil Lasagne (to die for)

March 1, 2018 | Budget Friendly, Freezable Meals, Make-ahead Meals, Pasta and Noodles, Vegetarian

Mushroom Lentil Lasagne - This Mushroom and Lentil Lasagne is so delicious and is sure to win over meat lovers and fussy little ones. This is one nutrient and protein rich vegetarian meal (with an option for vegans too). It's perfect family food.

I have SO much thyme in my garden at the moment and even though it is just one of many ingredients in this totally divine Mushroom and Lentil Lasagne, it was what ultimately inspired this dish. I’m constantly experimenting on delicious ways to win over my meat loving family and this is our latest vegetarian favourite so I thought I’d better share it.

For about 20 years of my life I was a vegetarian, many of those years I was a student also so legumes, being a cheap, healthy source of protein, were my go to. Various types of vegetarian bolognese type dishes were staples for me back than- the base ingredients were similar, always a legume of some kind + vegetables + tomatoes + various herbs and spices depending upon what I felt like.

So in creating my latest vegetarian lasagne, I returned to my tried and tested formula, balancing the flavours of thyme and vegetables until  it was perfect – and now it is, so I hope you love it as much as my family does (even the legume fussy one in our household loves this).

For a legume-free lasagne, my Pumpkin Lasagne has been a huge hit with the Well Nourished audience too.

Take a look at the variations (below the main recipe) for suggestions to alter the recipe to suit many specific dietary requirements.

This super tasty Mushroom and Lentil Lasagne will win over any meat lovers in your family. Vegetarian lasagne just doesn't get any better. 

Ingredients

  • 100 g Puy (French) lentils (½ cup approx.)
  • 15 ml olive oil -extra virgin (1 tbsp)
  • 1 onion/s -peeled and halved
  • 3 clove/s garlic -peeled and chopped
  • 1 stick/s celery -roughly chopped
  • 2 carrot/s -roughly chopped
  • 1 zucchini/s (medium) roughly chopped
  • 2 bay leaf/s -dried
  • 1 bunch/s fresh thyme leaves - leaves picked off the stems
  • 250 g mushrooms -Swiss brown or portobello
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 400 ml vegetable stock (or bone broth if not worried about it no longer being vegetarian)
  • 400 g diced tinned tomatoes (or 6 vine ripened roma tomatoes) diced
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper -to taste
  • 60 g baby spinach -chopped (2 cups)
  • 200 g dried lasagne sheets (see below for GF and GrF)

Cheese sauce (see below for a vegan version)

  • 115 g cheddar cheese (1 cup) grated
  • 30 g butter
  • 55 g wholemeal spelt flour (½ cup)
  • 500 ml milk (2 cups) of your choice (see below variations)
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper -to taste
Prevent your screen from going dark

Method

  • Pre-heat your oven to 180℃ / 350℉ fan-forced (about 10 minutes before you are ready to bake the lasagne). 
  • I personally like to soak all legumes overnight in water with a splash of vinegar, so do this with the puy lentils if you like (you don't have to, but I'd recommend it).
  • I used my Thermomix to do all the chopping, but you can easily use a regular food processor or grate/ finely dice all the veggies by hand. No need to wash or rinse the food processor in between each step too.
  • In a food processor or thermomix chop your garlic (TMX 5 secs, speed 5) and then onion (TMX 5 secs, speed 4).
  • Heat a large pan over a low heat and add the olive oil (or you can use ghee or butter if not vegan). Add the chopped garlic/onion and gently sauté whilst processing the other veggies.
  • Now pop the celery, carrots and zucchini into your food processor and pulse to chop - you are looking for a course consistency so be careful not to over process (TMX use the turbo button, quick pulses until the right consistency, about 2-3 should do it look through the lid after each pulse). Alternatively grate the carrot and zucchini and finely dice the celery. Add this to the pan with the onion.
  • Sauté for a few minutes with the bay leaves and thyme leaves.
  • Pulse the mushrooms in the food processor until just chopped (TMX pulse 1-2 times).
  • Add them to the pan with the Puy lentils, tomato paste, stock and diced tomatoes. Season, stir to combine and allow to simmer with the lid ajar, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the lentils are cooked. This will take about 30 minutes.
  • Once cooked, add the chopped spinach and stir though to wilt it. Taste, adjust the seasoning if you need to (salt brings out the flavour so don't be shy). Remove from the heat and set aside. 

Cheese sauce

  • Grate the cheese (in the processor and set aside).
  • For the Thermomix method, follow the recipe for Béchamel in your basic cookbook.
  • In a medium sized pot, melt the butter over a low heat. Remove from the heat and add the flour mixing to combine.
  • Return to a medium to high heat and gradually add the milk, approx. half a cup at a time mixing constantly. As it heats it will thicken, this is when you should add another half a cup of milk. Do this until all the milk is added and the sauce is thick.
  • Add about a quarter of the cheese, season with sea salt and pepper to taste, and stir well (reserve the rest of the cheese for the top of the lasagne).

Assemble

  • To assemble the lasagne, use a medium size baking dish (mine is 25 x 25cm), placing half of the lentil sauce in the base, top with lasagne sheets, then the remaining lentil sauce, another layer of pasta and finish with the cheese sauce and the remaining grated cheese.
  • Bake for 30 - 45 minute or until the lasagne is cooked through.

Serve

  • With a big green salad or steamed veggies.

Make-ahead

  • Re-heat in a low oven until just hot.

Store

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge. I store it in a rectangle shaped oven proof glass pyrex or glass lock container so I can simply remove the lid and reheat in the storage container (saves washing up).
  • Can also be frozen.

Variations

Gluten and grain-free

Choose gluten-free lasagne sheets and for grain free layer with thinly sliced eggplant (aubergine) or zucchini (courgette).

Vegan (dairy-free) cheese sauce

Steam half a large head of cauliflower, then puree with a tablespoon of nutritional yeast, a generous pinch of sea salt and pepper and a splash of almond milk to achieve a Béchamel consistency (thick sauce). Top with grated vegan cheese.

Onion and Garlic-free

Replace both with finely diced fennel sautéed with a pinch of cumin and chilli powder. 

All in the Thermomix

I personally used my TMX for all the preparation (chopping) and making the cheese sauce but cooked the lentil sauce in the pan as I prefer the consistency the pan produces (plus the volume of the sauce is pushing the bowl limits). But if you did want to cook it all in the TMX,  I'd cook on reverse, speed 1, temp 100, 30 minutes (or until the lentils are cooked through) with the lid ajar. 

TIP

The lasagne can be made ahead, refrigerated and re-heated as required. It can also be portioned and frozen.
You can also serve this as a pasta sauce if you can't be bothered with the few extra steps to the lasagne. Or it can also become a pasta bake (combine the sauce with pasta, top with cheese and oven bake).
 

Enjoy! I'd love to hear how you and your family enjoyed this tasty dish. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think (star rating extra appreciated as that way this recipe will entice even more people).

    Hi Georgia, I’m curious to know why you are a vegetarian no longer?

    • Georgia Harding says

      Sure Melissa. After I had my first bub and had breastfed her for almost 2 yrs my health declined and I after discussing it with my Naturopath, I added a little animal based protein into my diet and felt immediately better for it. I eat according to how I feel, life is fluid as are our needs and since that time, I do occasionally eat meat. However we do enjoy a lot of meat-free meals too. G x

    I have red lentils in the cupboard (not able to get any French ones at the moment), will these substitute in okay?

      Hi Bel, they will be okay, just a different (less) texture and nuttiness with red rather than Puy G x

        I also used red lentils as they were all I had to hand and they were fine. However I suspect that puy would be better – giving a firmer texture to the dish.

    Wow, what a delicious lasagne and my meat-loving kids also devoured it! I used konjac lasagne noodles as it was all I had on hand. I’ve made a note for next time to reduce the overall liquid if using the konjac or paleo crepes as they don’t absorb the liquid as much as traditional lasagne sheets.
    Another wonderful recipe Georgia. Thanks!

    You’ve done it again Georgie – from the moment I licked the spoon with cheese sauce and mushroom mix on it, before it had even been fully assembled, I was licking my lips! Great combination of ingredients and makes a nutritious alternative to meat lasagne! My tummy says thanks.

    Absolutely 10 out of 10! I would of eaten the whole thing it was that great and the cauliflower sauce…perfect! Even my hubby loved it, my 3 year old ate it all and 5 year old ate most (but he is being a tad picky at the moment). I knew i would love it but if it passes the husband and kids test then it’s a winner! We aren’t vegetarian but you couldn’t even notice the lack of meat. Delicious!

          Hi Nicole, you can usually find them in your local supermarket. But depending on where you are located you could try health food stores or Source Bulk Food for example. Hope that helps.

    Made this tonight and it’s a keeper! Added some chilli, and lemon rind right at the end before assembling. My 7yo son ate three serves 🙂 and my 3yo daughter, who although being a reasonably non fussy eater usually takes FOREVER to eat her meal…tonight only 30mins lol! Thanks Georgia.

    Absolutely delicious. Even without a thermomix, it was easy to make. I found I only had wholemeal spelt flour so gave it a go for the cheese sauce and despite having a different colour, it worked fine.

    Hi Georgia. Finally got around to baking this one up (lasagnes are generally a bit of a pain). But this one was so worth the effort! And the kids requested a slice for breaky (fantastic choice I reakon!). I am thinking that I will fry a bit of garlic into the roux next time, and will be making a double batch as this one went way too fast! Totally yum!

    Hi Georgia,
    I really enjoyed this lasagne. It is hearty (perfect for this time of the year in Melbourne) and reheats really well for the next night. I did a few modifications not all planed – I used less mushrooms (didn’t have enough) less carrot and no cheese in the cheese sauce. I used the rest of your measurements for the sauce and I have to say it turned out great!
    Will be making this a regular meal.
    Thank you.

      Hi Tegan, I know you will love it, it’s been so popular.

      I don’t have a print function at the moment. I’m constantly updating the site, but sadly each function I add also adds another monthly cost. But a print function is high on the list. Just have to be able to cover the cost (most other sites are covered in diet pill and miracle cure advertising which raises a lot of revenue but I would prefer to avoid). Cheers G x

    HI Georgia,
    Im planning to make this next week, is tomato puree the same as tomato paste?
    We do vegetarian tuesdays, so this will be perfect.

    • Georgia Harding says

      Kirstin – no it’s not the same as paste. It’s also called passata or sugo (its in a tall jar generally below the paste in the supermarket). You could sub with canned tomatoes if you like (you’d need 2 cans) G x

        Hi Georgia .Is that correct to sub 3 tbspn tomato puree with 2 can of tomatoes.would not 2 can be too much liquid?

        • Georgia Harding says

          Hi Jhanita. The recipe is correct. There is however only ONE tin of tomatoes plus the tomato paste. The lentils take on a lot of liquid – I’ve made myself dozens of time (as well as the many people who’ve made it in the comments below) and it reduces a lot as it cooks. Hope you enjoy it G x

    If using canned lentils would I just use one tin?

    • Georgia Harding says

      Hi Sara. The problem with canned lentils is that you will need to adjust the liquid (less) as the dried lentils absorb moisture as they cook. Either that or reduce the liquid by cooking for longer. I’d go with two tins. Love to hear how it turns out as I haven’t tried subbing the lentils for tinned. G x

    Hi Georgia
    We have tried this recipe before and after the first time eating it, my meat eating husband and kids devoured and loved it. I didn’t tell them it wasn’t mince ?. However, the next time I made it they discovered it contained lentils and didn’t give it a great rating, even going so far as to requesting never to serve it again. However, I left it for some months and after helping my 12 year old son with an assignment on how we can reduce our impact on the environment by eating less meat, I made it again tonight, and second helpings were had by my meat loving husband and 10 year old, and the usually fussy 12 yo, who only eats mainly white foods and meat, are it all without a fuss!

    Thank you,
    Rachael

    I was looking for a good vegetarian lasagne recipe, so gave this one a whirl and it was fantastic.

    Although I rarely use a food processor for chopping, I did on this occasion, which was a big time saver. Due to my inexperience with the processor, the veg was probably chopped a bit finer than necessary, but this seemed to bind the sauce quite well. The lentils and the mushroom definitely add texture and bulk to the sauce as well as flavour.

    I doubled the quantities, which worked just as well and added in a couple of extra layers of lasagne. It was a massive hit in our house and the kids have all asked for it in their lunchboxes today.

    Keep up the great work,

    Conrad

    Let me first say, this is the first review I’ve ever written for a recipe. This mushroom and lentil lasagna was so delicious so I had to say THANK YOU! I sincerely appreciate the options for the recipe since I am on an allergy restricted diet. I followed the instructions for the vegan béchamel sauce and used GF lasagna sheets. I used vegan mozzarella and provolone on top.
    While I was making it, I kept saying “Look how many veggies go into this!” So healthy! I only used 4 lasagna sheets in the whole thing. It felt more like a shepherd’s pie than a lasagna, but I’ll take it!

    Hi I have made this lasagne a couple times and love it have just made again while staying with my daughter she tells me the lentils should be like meat in the dish where you could still see they were lentils in mine I cooked as recipe and used puy lentils and also soaked for about 8 hours so just wondering should you still be able to tell they are lentils 🤔

    • Well Nourished Team says

      Hi Lynette, The lentils in the mixture should be soft (without any hardness to the lentil), it really is a preference if you want the mix to mushy or more texture. As the mix can go from cooked to mushy quite quickly, if you were after texture you could chop the mushrooms a little bigger.
