Method
Step 1
Here are four easy steps for the perfect Kosher Lasagne Bolognese:
Step 2
Sauté the celery, onion, and carrot in a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil and the bay leaf. Once they have turned golden brown, add the lentils and cook over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the red wine, cook until the wine evaporates completely, then lower the heat and add the tomato paste. Add 2 cups of water and the tomato purée, and cook slowly over low heat for at least 20 minutes. Discard bay leaf.

Step 3
Meanwhile, prepare the béchamel: melt the margarine in a heavy-bottomed pan. To make a roux, add the flour and whisk margarine and flour together for 3-4 minutes over low heat until smooth. Heat the dairy-free milk in a separate pan, then add to the roux, pouring it in a slow stream. Adjust the salt, season with a bit of nutmeg, and continue cooking, whisking constantly to avoid the formation of lumps until the sauce is thick and creamy. If the béchamel is too thick, add a bit of milk. If it is too thin, let it cook for a few additional minutes. Heat the oven to 180°C.

Step 4
Grease up a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and arrange the first layer of Lasagne lengthwise. Evenly spread a layer of sauce over, followed by the béchamel and a generous handful of nutritional yeast. Continue to layer the Lasagne, sauce, and béchamel until you have used the rest of the ingredients. Finish with the béchamel, a generous dusting of nutritional yeast, and a few pieces of margarine.
