Food allergies and intolerances are very common and people struggling with them still want excellent alternatives. In an effort to recreate lasagne with a whole foods allergy sensitive approach, only the cleanest ingredients were used in the most simplistic manner.

Step 1: Prepping Veggie Pesto #1

Ingredients:

1 large Zucchini, diced
1 large Onion, diced
6 oz Crimini Mushrooms, chopped
4 Garlic cloves, chopped
drizzle of EVOO*
6 oz fresh Baby Spinach**

8 oz Beets, diced
8 oz Carrots, diced

2-3 Roma Tomatoes, chopped**

*denotes items used in step 3
**denotes items used in step 5

Step 3: Roasting Veggie Pesto #1 and #2

Place prepped veggies in an 9x11" roasting pan and drizzle with EVOO. Roast each pesto mix in separate glass baking dishes. (Do not add spinach and tomatoes.) Roast at 400°F for 1 hour. Stir veggies every 20 minutes to allow for even roasting.

Step 4: Cooling Veggie Pesto #1 and #2

After roasting the veggies, place baking dishes on the stove or counter and allow them to cool for an hour.

Step 5: Finalizing Veggie Pesto #1 and #2

Place veggie pesto #1 in a blender or food processor. Your food processor will need the capacity to hold 30 oz or more in volume. Add the baby spinach into the blender/food processor and puree veggies until they are a smooth texture. Transfer the pesto to a storage container or mixing bowl for later use.

Repeat this step with veggie pesto #2 adding the tomatoes to the veggie mix. Transfer the final pesto to a storage container or mixing bowl.
