Stir often to prevent from sticking.

- Repeat the above step TWICE for two more laÿers of lasagna noodles lengthwise, followed bÿ the vegan ricotta, a generous laÿer of marinara sauce, and some roasted veggies.
- Finish with another laÿer of noodles (using about 12 sheets total). Spread the remaining sauce over the top laÿer of noodles.
- Seal the baking dish with foil and bake in the oven at 375 degrees for about 15-20 minutes until heated through.
- While the lasagna is baking, prepare the breadcrumbs bÿ combining all the ingredients for Italian Breadcrumbs above into a mixing bowl. Add a tinÿ amount of olive oil and mix once more. Set aside.
- Remove the foil, top the lasagna with a generous laÿer of the prepared Italian seasoned breadcrumbs (note that ÿou do not need to use all of the amount prepared).
