This Vegan Zucchini Lasagna with Tofu Ricotta and Walnut Sauce is indulging, yet guilt-free! It is low carb, healthy, and satisfying!

Do you ever wonder what other people eat for the holidays? Maybe it's because I am a foodie, but I do. Well, this Vegan Zucchini Lasagna with Tofu Ricotta and Walnut Sauce is what I had on Christmas Day.

I eat differently than a lot of people I know during the holidays. I don't usually go for traditional American foods. Instead, I tend to go for foods like Avocado Sushi, Bean and Corn Enchiladas, or lasagna.

I was eating low carb for several months, and I knew the week before Christmas that I wanted something that was low carb, but that had big flavor. I wanted something that I felt like I was indulging in; something comforting, but guilt-free.

That is exactly what I accomplished with this recipe. You won't even miss the pasta noodles, I promise! Thinly sliced zucchini take their place. This has a basil infused tofu ricotta and a sun-dried tomato walnut sauce.

What more do you need in a low carb lasagna?

Instructions

Mix walnuts, sun-dried tomatoes, and marinara sauce (reserving ¾ cup).
Slice zucchini on a mandoline.

I love these Pyrex baking dishes! I used a 7 ½" x 9 ½" baking dish for this recipe. It's great because it comes with a cover, so I can put it in the fridge.
