Step 2
Prepare the sauce by placing a saucepan over low heat and adding all the sauce ingredients. Simmer uncovered low and slow for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally—taste to adjust salt. Remove the onion from the sauce and set the saucepan aside to cool while making everything else.

Lay down a layer of oven-ready lasagna noodles once again making sure to overlap the edges slightly.
Step 10
Lay another layer of marinara down and top with vegan mozzarella shreds.

Repeat steps 5-9 until you've used all your ingredients. NOTE: If you run out of zucchini or noodles, but still have other ingredients left, keep going! It's your lasagna and there are no rules.
Step 12
Once you've used all the ingredients, top the lasagna with vegan mozzarella shreds (make sure you buy the kind that melts like Daiya or Violife).
Step 13
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
