Here is one i found, not sure who's it is

2 cups pine nuts
1 ts. sea salt

2 cups mac nuts
2 cups cashews
4 Tbls. Braggs liquid aminos
3 Tbls. lemon juice
1/2 cup water

Marinara sauce:
2 1/2 cups tomatoes
12 sundries tomatoes, soaked
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic
2 Tbls. parsley
1/8 tsp. cayenne
1 tsp. sea salt

1. Peel and slice the eggplant into 1/4 inch round slices.
2. Soak the eggplant slices in salted water for 1-2 hours.

For breading:
1. In a food processor, combine the breading ingredients and blend until almost smooth. This should still be a bit "grainy" in texture.

For marinara sauce:
1. In a food processor, combine the sauce ingredients and blend until smooth.

To Assemble:

6. Place the lasagna pan in the dehydrator and dehydrate at 105 degrees for 14 to 18 hours.
