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

2It can be easier to modify or substitute the bechamel. Either make it with a nut milk, or use a veloute, or use something else entierly (although the ideas for "something else entirely" are frequently also milk based, like a mascarpone lasagna)– rumtscho ♦May 21, 2017 at 10:36

Just don't use the bechamel.– MaxOct 30, 2018 at 10:26

Probably better to focus on the ragu, since there are often other cheeses in a lasagna recipe.– EricaOct 30, 2018 at 12:25

You can either substitute the bechamel or the ragu:
Bechamel
- Use soy or almond milk and vegan butter
- Ideas:
Ragu
- Simple.. just use vegetarian mince:
Both are listed as kosher.
Additional ideas/answers already posted here: What can I substitute for dairy products in kosher meat dishes?
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.
