Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the gluten-free lasagne sheets according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the cooked lentils to the skillet, followed by the tomato sauce, salt, pepper, dried basil, and dried oregano. Stir well and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a blender or food processor, combine the crumbled tofu, nutritional yeast, plant-based milk, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy to create the tofu ricotta.
In a separate bowl, mix the tofu ricotta with the chopped spinach until well combined.
Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Spread a thin layer of the lentil-tomato sauce on the bottom of the dish. Lay down 3 lasagne sheets in a single layer on top.
Spread 1/3 of the tofu ricotta-spinach mixture on the lasagne sheets, followed by 1/3 of the sauce. Add a layer of thinly sliced zucchini.
Repeat this layering process (lasagne sheets, ricotta mixture, sauce, zucchini) until you have three layers, finishing with a layer of lentil sauce on top.
Sprinkle the vegan parmesan or nutritional yeast evenly over the top layer.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and slightly golden.
Allow the lasagne to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
