Method
For the Tomato Sauce
In a heavy bottomed pan, dry sauté the onion and garlic (adding water a little at a time if required, to prevent sticking), until fragrant. Add the rest of the ingredients for the sauce with sufficient water, bring to a boil and simmer until thickened.
For the Cashew Cream
Rinse the soaked cashew nuts. Blend all ingredients together to a creamy consistency.
For the Lasagna
Layer the sliced vegetables, tomato sauce and cashew cream in a baking dish and bake in a moderate to hot oven (190 °C) for an hour. Top with nutritional yeast.
