1 pound firm tofu (drained and blottted in paper towels)
8 oz lasagne noodles (precooking makes the job easier!)
1 T. olive oil
1 large onion or leek, chopped
1 pound mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 t. each dried basil, dry thyme, dry oregano
2 (15 oz each) (no salt added) tomato sauce
1 can tomato paste (6 oz)
2 10 oz bags fresh spinach, steamed, drained and sqeezed dry
1 cup part skim ricotta cheese
8 oz. mozzarella cheese, grated
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
Break tofu into course chunks and let it drain.
Mix ricotta and spinach and set aside. Heat oil in pan and saute tof u, onion, mushrooms, basil, thyme, and oregano. Cook stirring often until liquid has evaporated (about 7 minutes). Stir in tomato sauce and tomato paste. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread 1/3 of the sauce in a 9 by 13 pan. Top with half the noodles, spinach mixture and mozzarella. (You may repeat layers...I didn't). Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Bake 400 degrees for 25 minutes (approximately.) Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serves 8.
