1 tsp. Italian Spice Blend

1-2 tsp. chopped garlic (I use bottled) or about 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Place a small amount of this sauce in an oiled 9x12 baking pan.

Mix the tofu, cream cheese, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper together.

Mix in the pumpkin, mushrooms, mozzarella, spinach, onions, nutmeg and Italian Spices, parmesan if using and layer half in the pan.

Place more sauce on top of the pumpkin-ricotta.

Place more lasagna sheets on top of these.

Place more sauce on this, then the rest of the pumpkin ricotta, then the last of the lasagna sheets.

Place the rest of the sauce of top, cover with foil and cook about 50 minutes or so.

Remove foil, sprinkle with the soy cheese.

Bake until cheese melts, 10 minutes or so.

Let stand for about 10 minutes.

This is mine and Mark's fave lasagna.
