Healthy smashed lazy lasagna with a veggie-mushroom lentil ragu and a lighter cheese sauce. Comforting, hearty, and easy to bake.
Healthy smashed lazy lasagna is a cozy bake with a veggie-mushroom lentil ragu and a lighter, creamy cheese sauce.
Slow-baked ragu builds depth, while broken lasagna sheets cook directly in the sauce. A lighter cheese sauce keeps it comforting without feeling heavy.
Mushrooms and lentils bring hearty texture, miso adds umami, and cheddar gives the sauce its rich finish. Dried lasagna sheets make it easy.
Bake the ragu, soften the pasta in the oven, then top with cheese sauce and grill until golden. Rest briefly before serving.
This keeps well for up to 4 days. Reheat covered to prevent the top from drying out.
