Ingredients

  • 1-3/4 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 9 uncooked lasagna noodles
  • 1 package (14 ounces) firm tofu, drained and cubed
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded mozzarella-flavored soy cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar-flavored soy cheese

Directions

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, saute mushrooms and onion in oil until tender. Add spinach and garlic; cook 2 minutes longer. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, basil and dried marjoram. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Meanwhile, cook lasagna noodles according to package directions; drain.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the tofu, eggs, parsley, salt and pepper. Place 3 noodles in the bottom of a 13x9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Layer with half the tofu mixture, 1-1/2 cups spinach mixture, 1/2 cup mozzarella-flavored soy cheese and 1/3 cup cheddar-flavored soy cheese. Repeat layers. Top with remaining noodles and spinach mixture; sprinkle with remaining cheeses.
  4. Cover and bake at 375° until heated through, 35-40 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
