Cook lasagna noodles as per package directions. When noodles are done, preheat oven for 350 degrees.

Spread some of the eggplant mixture on the bottom of the lasagna dish, place 4 noodles over this.m Add one layer of eggplant/zucchni sauce, cover with 4 more noodles; spread refried bean and salsa mixture over noodles, add chopped spinach over mixture and add a small amount of sauce over it. Place last 4 noodles over spinach and spread the final amounts of sauce over the noodles (cover it).

For the cheese topping:
Chop 2 bunches of cilantro (chinese parsley), sprinkle over last sauce layer of lasagna, then sprinkle some nutrional yeast over the cilantro, and then add Soymage's non-dairy parmesan cheese over all of it and place Vegan Yummy Lasagna in oven and cook for 35 minutes.
