This recipe is suitable for a: vegetarian/vegan diet.

Ingredients:
-----------------------------------------------------
1/2 lb. lasagna noodles
2 10-oz. packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 lb. soft tofu
1 lb. firm tofu
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 cup soy milk
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
3 tsp. minced fresh basil
2 tsp. salt
4 cups tomato sauce


Instructions:
-----------------------------------------------------
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Squeeze the spinach as dry as possible and set aside.

Place the tofu, sugar, soy milk, garlic powder, lemon juice, basil, and salt in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Stir in the spinach.

Cover the bottom of a 9-inch-by-13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of tomato sauce, then a layer of noodles (use about one-third of the noodles). Follow with half of the tofu filling. Continue in the same order, using half of the remaining tomato sauce and noodles and all of the remaining tofu filling. End with the remaining noodles, covered by the remaining tomato sauce. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

If you're wary of replacing the dairy in your recipes, never fear—blended tofu makes a great substitute for soft cheese

Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Sugar? That seems kind of weird. But good recipe! I have to try it...

sounds good. That's a lot of tofu though. We usually just do one water-packed tub of soft tofu (14oz I think) and 1/2 cup of vegan mayo. And omit the sugar & lemon juice.

Some sauteed mushrooms & zucchini are great in this recipe too - once sauteed, add them to the tofu/spinach mixture. yum yum.
