Vegan Lasagna with Cashew "Ricotta"



This is not the best picture BECAUSE half of the pan was already eaten! This was such a surprise. I took it for Easter dinner and I don't think those who ate it were disappointed! I know I wasn't. It was so good! Definitely a recipe to make over and over again! I promise. When I make this again I will share it with a better picture!
