You won’t dare tweak some classic family recipes. (Grandma’s chocolate cake, for instance, will forever remain untouched.) On the other hand, you’re not opposed to adjusting the family’s traditional lasagna. This version requires only minutes of prep time and is made with minimal ingredients. Plus, it’s got cashew cheese and gluten-free, lentil-based noodles so it’s perfect for vegans and those avoiding gluten or dairy. Start a new tradition with this easy vegetarian lasagna!
