Lentil Zucchini Lasagna

Looking for a delicious way to nourish your body while aligning with Ayurvedic principles? This plant-based Zucchini, Lentil & Ricotta Lasagna is the perfect seasonal dish that satisfies comfort cravings without compromising your health. It’s grounding, protein-rich, and packed with gut-loving fibre — a wholesome, ojas-building meal your body and spirit will thank you for.

Each layer of this lasagna has been carefully crafted to support digestion, hormone balance, and sustained energy. Lentils offer a rich source of plant-based protein and are ideal for balancing blood sugar while keeping you full and focused. Zucchini adds a light, hydrating base that is naturally cooling and easy to digest, especially during warmer seasons or when Pitta is high.

I love to sautéed leek and ginger to awaken the digestive fire (agni), helping you absorb all the nutrients this vibrant dish has to offer. The addition of tomatoes provides a boost of antioxidants like lycopene while stimulating gentle detoxification. Dried oregano and basil bring anti-inflammatory benefits, while fresh spinach and basil lift the dish with pranic energy and support the blood and nervous system.

Top it off with a final creamy layer of vegan ricotta or cottage cheese; this lasagna feels both indulgent and balancing. The healthy fats in olive oil further support the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and leave your skin and joints feeling nourished from the inside out.

This recipe is naturally gluten-free, deeply satisfying, and ideal for those looking to feel stronger, lighter, and more connected to the food they eat. Whether you’re in a season of healing, hormone support, or simply looking for an easy plant-based lunch or dinner — this Ayurvedic-inspired lasagna is a perfect place to begin.
