- Incorporate the ground beef, salt, pepper and spices and cook until browned (around 3 minutes).
- Add mushrooms and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Pour tomato sauce and broth into your pan. Cook stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes or until thickened and smooth.
Assemble the lasagne:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread 1/2 Cup creamy cauliflower sauce in the bottom. Cover with cooked lasagna noodles (or raw no cook noodles). Spread veggie bolognese and top with lasagna noodles. Repeat the process alternating between creamy cauliflower sauce and bolognese. Top with last layer of lasagna noodles with creamy cauliflower sauce and spread mozzarella and parmesan cheese evenly on top.
- Take to the oven and bake for 35 minutes or until done.
