Brunch Lasagna

Instructions:

• Step 1.

  Preheat oven to 350°F. Boil lasagna noodles, oil slightly, and set aside.

• Step 2.

  Crumble 1 pound Hungry Planet Italian Sausage™ into pieces no larger than the end of your index finger and brown in a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of safflower oil.

• Step 3.

  In a medium-sized saucepan, make gravy with ¼ cup flour, 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder, 2 cups vegetable stock, 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon dried parsley. Whisk this mixture over medium heat until it begins to thicken. Whisk in ½ cup of soy milk or other milk alternative. Continue to stir until the sauce coats a spoon.

• Step 4.

  Add cooked sausage to the gravy skillet. Cook over low heat until combined, about 3 to 4 minutes. Taste for salt and pepper.

• Step 5.

  Layer noodles and gravy into a 9 x 13 pan, beginning and ending with gravy. Garnish with herbs and diced bell peppers. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until thoroughly heated and bubbly. Allow cooling for 5 minutes before serving.
