29 May Epic Stuffed Ravioli Lasagna w/ Stretchy Cashew Mozzarella {oil-free}
You guys, we did it. We had a dream, and we made that dream come true. Introducing our epic ravioli stuffed lasagna, that’s right, a lasagna stuffed with ravioli + a bunch of other goodies, and topped with a stretchy cashew mozzarella. This will not disappoint, we promise! This is one of those “vegan recipes to impress non-vegans”, and if those have a proper name please correct me haha.
Check out our recipe video below and let us know what you think!
If you’re reading this, Chris and I are in Portland, or at least on our way up from Los Angeles, and we are so stoked to finally visit and eat all of the vegan food :p We are planning to have videos and blog posts up documenting our trip, so stay tuned!
This recipe is yet another collaboration with our girl Caitlin Shoemaker of the From My Bowl blog and epic youtube channel that you definitely should check out if you haven’t already. We both decided we were going to make a pasta bake recipe, so here is what we both came up with!
Of course you know what we made, but you neeeed to check out her creation: Vegan Pesto Pasta Bake w/ Sun Dried Tomatoes & Avocado that is gluten- nut- AND oil-free, can I get a what what. You can find her recipe post here on her blog, and also check out her youtube recipe video as well!

Ingredients
Vegan Ravioli Lasagna
- 18-24 vegan raviolis (We used Rising Moon Organic Garlic & Roasted Veggie Ravioli), cooked
- 6 no-boil uncooked lasagna noodles
-
1/2 package vegan ricotta (we used Kite Hill)
- 1 jar oil-free marina (we used Engine 2)
- 1 large zucchini (for about 32 1/4″ thick rounds)
- 1 recipe vegan mozzarella* (below)
- 3-4 leaves fresh basil, chopped small
- Casserole baking dish (ours was 8 x 8 x 2.75″)
Stretchy Vegan Cashew Mozzarella
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup raw cashews
- 3 1/2 tablespoons tapioca starch (also known as tapioca flour)
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon lemon or apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
Instructions
Vegan Ravioli Lasagna
- Cook raviolis according to package directions, then preheat oven to 350 F and grab your casserole dish.
- Add sauce to the bottom of the pan, then top with 2 lasagna noodles, ricotta, about 9 raviolis, about 16 zucchini rounds, and repeat until you have formed 2 layers, or as fits in your pan. Top with the vegan mozzarella, followed by more ricotta (if any remains) and fresh basil.
- Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil, and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until top is slightly browned and noodles are cooked through.
- Remove from oven and cool for 10-15 minutes, then slice into 4 and serve!
Stretchy Vegan Cashew Mozzarella
- Soak cashews overnight, or about 8 hours, then drain and rinse.
- Add the cashews plus the remaining ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour into a medium pan over medium-high heat, and continually stir for about 5 minutes until gooey. Cook and stir for another minute to make sure it’s at the right consistency, then add atop the uncooked lasagna while warm.
Notes
- Mozzarella inspired by Vedged Out and itdoesnttastelikechicken.
- If you want to make your own mozzarella, we recommend Miyoko’s!

Posted at 20:29h, 05 JuneI haven’t had lasagna in such a long time, and this was prior to being vegan. It was one of my favorite pasta dishes! This take looks absolutely incredible! Caitlin’s recipe looks wonderful as well. I’m dying to try both of them!
