- 500ml oat milk (or any milk you prefer)
- 3 tbsp flour (45g)
- 15g nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp nutmeg

Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.

- Cut the sundried tomatoes and artichokes into smaller bite-size pieces.
- Slice the onions into slithers.
- Add the sundried tomatoes, artichokes, onions, walnuts and balsamic vinegar in a bowl big enough to toss around.
Time to make your béchamel:
- On medium heat, add the drained oil in a saucepan and gradually add the flour, and whisk.
- Gradually add the warm oat milk to the saucepan. Keep whisking to avoid clumps. Whisk until smooth and thick.
- Add spices – nutmeg, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Time to assemble your lasagna:
- Spread a thick layer of passata at the bottom.
- Add lasagna sheets and cover area.
- Spread a layer of the béchamel.
- Add half the onions, artichokes, sundried tomato and balsamic mixture over the béchamel.
- Add the basil. Keep some for garnishing.
- Then, add more lasagna sheets.
- Repeat until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of béchamel on top.
- Bake for about 40 minutes.
- Garnish with basil.
