Method

Cook noodles per package instructions.


Rinse in cold water after draining and spread out in a single layer to prevent sticking. Set aside.


Preheat the oven to 350°F.


Heat broth in a large skillet over medium-high heat.


Add garlic, squash, onions and 1/2 cup of the herbs and cook, stirring often, until liquid has evaporated, 20 to 25 minutes.


Meanwhile, in a food processor, purée almondmilk, beans and ricotta until smooth; transfer to a bowl and set aside.


In a 9-x13-inch baking dish (this recipe makes a very full pan, so make sure your dish is at least 2 inches deep), layer lasagna as follows, scattering remaining herbs in between layers: ricotta mixture, noodles, broccoli and spinach, noodles, squash mixture, noodles, ricotta mixture.


Top with tomato and bake, uncovered, until hot throughout, about 45 minutes; set aside to let rest 15 minutes.


Cut into squares, garnish with fresh herbs and serve.
