What can I substitute for ragu in kosher lasgne?

Question

Most lasagne recpies ask for ragu and bechamel. Since I am cooking kosher, what can I substitute for ragu?

Answer 1

You can either substitute the bechamel or the ragu:

Bechamel

• Use soy or almond milk and vegan butter

  • https://www.morningstarfarms.com/products/morningstar-farms-meal-starters-grillers-recipe-crumbles-product.html

Both are listed as kosher.

Answer 2

I'd personally just go with a mushroom ragu.

You can find plenty of recipes online, such as from Serious Eats or the New York Times.

I can't remember if fish counts as "meat" for Kosher rules, so you may need to avoid recipes that call for fish sauce or Worcestershire sauce.
