Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you buy vegan ricotta cheese?

We have found Kite Hill Ricotta at Whole Foods and Mom’s Organic Market, as well as our little Natural Health Grocer.

Though, we haven’t personally tried, you could also try making it yourself. Minimalist Baker has a 5 ingredient, super easy looking almond ricotta that you could try! This site also has a homemade vegan ricotta that is nut free (besides coconut).

What brands are we using?

We really recommend for the pasta sauce that you use your favorite recipe – whether that’s homemade or jarred. For a budget friendly option, we really love the Whole Foods 365 Roasted Garlic. Another option we have tried and love is Prego’s Farmers Market line.

See above for the ricotta we use.

For the shreds, we really love the taste that Violife shreds (cheddar and mozzarella give to the dish). If you don’t have Violife, we would recommend Follow Your Hearts shreds. You can also view our vegan shredded cheese taste test to learn more about different brands.

For the vegan meat crumbles, we really love the Aldi brand. We feel like they are seasoned better than others, but they also don’t carry them full time currently. When we can’t find them, we use Gardein.

For the Parmesan, the best is Violife. You can also make your own vegan parmesan.

Can I make this Top 8 Allergy Friendly Lasagna?

This one is a little tough, but still possible. We always try to include this, but you have to be aware of several different types of ingredients.

The pasta can easily be swapped with a gluten free lasagna noodle. That’s the easiest part.

Many vegan cheeses and vegan ground beef crumbles use soy and/or wheat in the ingredients.

Depending on your allergies, you may be able to find a ground “meat” and “cheese” product that doesn’t have your specific allergies listed.

You could also swap the vegan ground meat with mushrooms or lentils to make sure it’s allergen friendly. You may need to adjust seasonings if adding something that isn’t seasoned already.

You also need to be aware and remember to get safe spaghetti sauces. Even regular or traditional sauces sometimes contain cheese.

Can I prep this vegan dinner idea ahead of time?

Yes! You can make the recipe from start to finish and then store in the fridge in an air tight container after cooling, for up to 7 days, heating up when ready to cook.
