Spinach Lasagna
“This was the first FOK recipe I ever tried, and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Lasagna is one of my favorite foods. When my friend made this for me, I couldn’t believe how delicious it was, and I did not miss the cheese when I agreed to a second helping.” —India McCormick, Meal Planner Content Coordinator
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE TOFU RICOTTA:
- 1 (12.3-ounce) package silken tofu
- 1 pound fresh water-packed firm tofu
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup soy milk
FOR THE LASAGNA:
- 1 recipe Tofu Ricotta
- 1−2 pounds fresh spinach, lightly steamed
- 8 ounces no-boil lasagna noodles
- 7 cups fat-free pasta sauce
- ¼ cup soy parmesan or Parma vegan parmesan
INSTRUCTIONS
- To make the ricotta, combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until fairly smooth. Place into a large bowl, and set aside.
- To make the spinach, steam at least 1 pound of fresh spinach (2 if you really like spinach) for about a minute or two, just until slightly wilted.
- Drain well, then either mix the spinach into the ricotta or layer the spinach over it when assembling the lasagna.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- To assemble the lasagna, spread 1 cup of the pasta sauce over the bottom of the baking dish. Then cover the sauce with a layer of noodles. Next, spread half of the ricotta mixture (and half of the spinach if not mixed into the ricotta) over the noodles, and top with 2 more cups of the sauce. Add another layer of noodles, the rest of the tofu mixture (and spinach if separate), 2 cups more of the sauce, and the rest of the noodles. Spoon the remaining 2 cups of sauce over the noodles (make sure you cover all the edges), and sprinkle some parmesan over the top. Cover with parchment paper and then with foil.
- Bake for 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 30 minutes before cutting.
- Note: This recipe may be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated. Add about 15 minutes to the baking time.
