Best substitutions for red sauce in lasagna?

[Anonymous No.14366891]

I've made lasagna a couple of times before and it is amazing, but I now have a vegetarian gf, and she made some hints for me, and now I feel like I have to do a vegetarian lasagna. All I need it to change the meat in red sauce for something. What are the best options? I saw a lot of eggplants, but it doesn't really fit in terms of texture.
I had some ideas about finding a vegan burger recipe and just use patty ingredients from it. What do you guys think?

Bruh just use heavily seasoned soy-meat or whatever

Make a spinach or ricotta lasagna or some other vegetarian lasagna instead of trying to replace the meat in lasagna bolognese with some soy shit.

Anon, sub Alfredo for red sauce, Use spinach, minced carrots and onions for the guts.
Everything else do the same

You can just leave out the meat. I actually just prefer it without meat because I think meat ruins the texture of it. I'll add extra spoonfuls of ricotta throughout the lasagna to make it more filling instead.

Some vegetarian burgers taste good but the texture isn't really like ground beef and the crumbled versions are a little too chewy, not the best texture so I'd avoid that. Chopped mushrooms can be okay but you'll probably have to add more cheese anyway since they're low in calories and protein. I suppose you could try adding a layer of crumbled non-melting cheese like paneer or queso blanco, that might work.

You can make excellent vegetarian lasagna with stuff like broccoli, spinach.
I don't think you quite "get" lasagna.

Pesto/green lasagna is popular around here

Meaty-textured veg. That means mushrooms, eggplant, roastpeppers, courgette.

Use meat anyway but cut it so fine she doesn't know.

Blow a load in her knowing what you did.

Vegetarian lasagna!?!?! Dump your GF. A women who don't eat meat can't possibly be servicing your meat properly. Only a matter of time before you start identifying as a women or she dumps you because she realizes she is gay.

The opposite of a red sauce is a green sauce. Simple as.

Literally the easiest food to make without meat. Make a spinach lasagna. Shits great. Lasagna is one of those dishes that doesn't really suffer much if you replace beef with veg, tofu or whatever the fuck you decide go with.

I'd try crumbled up feta cheese if I had to make veg lasagna.
